Marcus O'Laoire: 'We need to talk more about male fertility'

39 min•2 juni 2026

Marcus O'Laoire is best known for his photogenic cooking on social media.


On this episode he opens up about the journey to fatherhood, and discusses the fertility tests he underwent en route to becoming a dad.


He believes male fertility is not spoken about openly, how his friends reacted to hearing he was undergoing fertility tests, and discusses how the immediate suggestion following his sperm analysis results was that the couple try IVF.


And we couldn't have him in the studio without getting some proper, gourmet recipes for baby purée.


Presented by Jen Hogen. Produced by Andrew McNair. Declan Conlon is the series producer.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
