About the show
Every family runs on invisible work: remembering the dentist, noticing the school shoes are too small, keeping track of who drives to football. The Famiyo Table puts that work on the table, names it and looks for fair, practical ways to share it between parents and kids.
The show is hosted by Oliver, a dad of two, with a guest at the table in every episode. It is made by the team behind Famiyo.
