1:15 More on Dads: where to go for parenting tips
On Monday we talked to an Australian researcher about getting dads involved in parenting programmes.
We were then contacted by Dave Owens, who runs a website called Great Fathers.
It offers new dads advice on everything from soothing a crying baby, to dealing with sleep deprivation, and even what to do if your baby's mother is suffering post-natal depression.
Dave joins us to discuss why men are often left out of the conversation around kids.

It has confirmed this afternoon that $67 million of the National Land Transport Fund will be invested in the link, known as SkyPath.
The Transport Minister Phil Twyford said SkyPath was a transformational project that would give Aucklanders the freedom to walk and cycle from the North Shore to the city.

1:40 Saving the rhinos with a kiwi drone
A Raglan company has created a drone to help with conservation work overseas.
Aeronavics was approached to design a drone that would assist specialists in tracking rhino poachers in South Africa.
There are more than 1000 poaching incidents a year in South Africa alone, but it's hoped the new drone, 'Rhino Bavi', could be adapted on a wider scale.
To explain how it works, we're joined by Aeronavics director Linda Bulk.
