The Scummy Mummies Podcast (Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn)

Which cool films are coming out in 2015? What is the right age to take kids to the cinema? How does a middle-aged dad from Manchester end up in a hotel room with Tom Hanks?

Film critic Dan Whitehead answers all these questions and more in our Movie Special. Plus we chat about his new app, Stikkums - a virtual reward chart for kids. Ellie introduces a brand new segment, We're All Going to Die, while Helen excels herself with some marvellous new theme tunes.

Stikkums is free to download via iTunes and you can find out more about it on Facebook.  We're on Facebook too, and Twitter (@scummymummies), or email scummymummiespodcast@gmail.com.

She's a comedian, a writer, an actor, and mother to a sexist baby - it's the hilarious Jess Fostekew! 

Jess tells us what it was like to be nominated for the Edinbugh comedy award, and we pretend to be happy for her. We discuss her excellent show, Hench, and the issues it raises around gender and body image. 

Then it's time for some food chat. We talk about intuitive eating, and why there's nothing wrong with being an emotional eater. As always, we round off with some Scummy Mummy Confessions, this time involving outdoor urination and body hair. 

You can follow Jess on Twitter @jessicafostekew. Her brilliant podcast, Hoovering, is available from her website plus all the usual places.

The books we mention are Just Eat It by Laura Thomas, and Eat Up by Ruby Tandoh.

What's the best way to get fit when we're stuck at home? How do you motivate teenagers to exercise? And what's it like to start IVF and a new business at the same time? Answering all these questions and more is awesome fitness coach Suzanne Keatley!

We hear all about the fab gym she runs, Fitology Hub. We discuss the need for a female-only fitness space, and why Suzanne finds it easier to train women than men. 

There's some chat about body image, and the shift in mindset from working out for weight loss versus mental health. Suzanne tells us about her experience of going through IVF, dealing with the physical changes of motherhood, and why she thinks we could all benefit from strength training. As always, we round off with some Scummy Mummy Confessions. 

Do check out the excellent Fitology Hub website and Instagram for more from Suzanne.

This episode features two amazing guests - Clemmie and Simon Hooper, otherwise known as Mother and Father of Daughters!

They tell us how they became Instagram sensations, and what it's like to be famous while still holding down your job as a midwife or whatever it is Simon does.

There's some hosiery chat, in which Simon explains why he hates socks. We also discuss why most of his followers are women, and whether he can actually tell his twins apart.

Then it's time for a bit of seriousness as we talk about the Hoopers' recent trip to Madagascar. We find out about WaterAid's plan to get everyone in the world access to clean water by 2030, and why handwashmongers Soaper Duper are donating £150k to help the cause. To get involved, visit wateraid.org. And to win a handwashing kit for your family, go to soaperduper.com.

There's a bit more silliness as we play a special version of Handbag Surprise, and find out what's in Simon's manbag. We round off with a Scummy Mummy Confession from MOD and FOD.

You can follow Clemmie and Simon on Instagram at mother_of_daughters and father_of_daughters. Clemmie's book, How to Grow a Baby and Push it Out, is out now.

She's a musician, an artist, an author, and a mother - it's the amazing VV Brown! 

She tells us about her singing career, including what it's like to hang out with Amy Winehouse, perform with Grace Jones, and turn down P Diddy.

We also discuss how it feels London and move to the countryside as a black woman. VV shares her experience of post-natal depression, and offers some advice for mums who feel like they've lost their hustle. 

There's some chat about VV's fantastic new children's book, Lily and the Magic Comb. We talk about what it's like to be told your book is too niche because it features a black lead character. 

And finally, we end with a fabulous Scummy Mummy Confession, involving a wardrobe fail at Camp Bestival. 

VV's new project is out this Mother's Day, 14 March. Lily and the Magic Comb, written by VV and illustrated by Kate Hazell, is available now from wokekidzshop.co.uk, plus the usual online bookstores.

This episode reveals answers to all these questions and much, much more. Our guest is the fabulous Bryony Gordon, Telegraph columnist and author of The Wrong Knickers - A Decade of Chaos. We cover some pretty grown-up subjects, from illegal highs and racy underwear to who is fitter out of Bloom or Tumble, so it's not one to listen to with the kids around.

JUST THE TWO OF US! For only the fourth time in Scummy Mummies history, there is no guest for this episode - it’s just us dickheads. We’re meeting up in our cosy bubble to share some personal news, and to talk about how we’ve found lockdown. We share our coping strategies, and what we do on the days we’re really not coping very well at all, actually. Find out how we’re getting on with homeschooling, hear about the newest member of Helen’s family, and learn what Ellie's been doing beside her parents' bins.

The podcast Helen recommends is the excellent Divorce Club. The terms Ellie can't remember that Brené Brown uses are over- and under-functioning, and you can hear her explain them in a much more articulate way on the Unlocking Us podcast.

On the day his daughter took her first steps, Christian Donlan was told he has with Multiple Sclerosis.

In this episode, he and his wife Sarah Lea discuss the issues around trying to parent while coming to terms with the diagnosis. Honestly, it's more fun than it sounds.

Christian tells us about his book, The Unmapped Mind, and how being told you have MS is a bit like being William Shatner in an episode of Columbo. We discuss whether the diagnosis affected their decision not to have a second child, and why Christian proposed in Primark after only a month.

His brilliant book is out now. You can follow Christian on Twitter @DonlanWords, and read his writing about video games on eurogamer.net.

Merry Christmas! It's the Scummy Mummies Podcast, with bells on (LITERALLY, thanks to amazing technical wizard Rob Sedgebeer, who made the theme tune all festive for us. Thanks Rob!)

This episode was recorded two days before Ellie went into early labour, which is why she still talks about being pregnant in it! Her little boy, Joe, is doing great. Expect a new baby special next year. 

We're joined by podcast favourites Nurse Jessie and Steve Hill, the latter being having been dragged away from a Christmas lunch. As such there's even more swearing in this episode and we couldn't be bothered to bleep it, so this isn't one to listen to with the kids around...

We talk Christmas presents, ham, round robins and farting. Plus, Steve tells us his Joe Mangle story, and Helen has an interesting suggestion for what to do with a family tub of yoghurt. We also test mince pies and play a festive game.

We're on Twitter - @scummymummies - and on the Facebook. Do email your confessions to scummymummiespodcast@gmail.com, and visit scummymummies.com to find previous episodes.

Thank you so much for listening to the podcast. It's been a fantastic year and we've had a blast, and we're so grateful to everyone who's downloaded, shared it with their friends, left us nice iTunes reviews and sent us lovely emails. And indeed scummy ones. Podcast service will resume as normal in January and we're planning on more stage shows later in the year.

Have a wonderful scummy Christmas!

She's back! Everyone's favourite purveyor of filthy stick figure cartoons is here to talk about playdate shame, managing teens, and what is better: dogs or children? 

Meanwhile, we get an update on Helen's love life - let's talk about socks, baby. Honestly, there's no point trying to summarise it here, you're just going to have to listen in...

And of course we discuss Katie's brilliant new book, The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Books. It's out now and it's a fantastic read for 9-12 year-olds, or indeed 40-plus year-olds like us who just want something funny to read in the bath. 

SAFETY NOTICE: This podcast was recorded remotely, which is why it sounds a bit different - sorry about that. We're doing our best, and we'll be back to sitting on Ellie's sofa with our guests as soon as it's safe to do so.

We talk about godparents - what makes a good one, what should their role be and what should they be called if you're not religious? Then we round things off with a special edition of Scummy Mummy Confessions.

Stuart's podcast is available for free via iTunes, Soundcloud or ComediansComedian.com. There are loads of fab episodes but our favourite is the Sarah Millican one and it's a great place to start.

Did you know that swearing can ease labour pains, make you exercise more efficiently, and improve your sex life? It's true - so says Dr Emma Byrne in this very sweary episode!

We get some advice on how to cope when your kids start learning naughty words, and find out that even monkeys do swears sometimes. Emma explains why swearing is a feminist issue, and why she can't wait for her own daughter to tell her to go f*** herself. Then it's the return of The Swearing Game, and we finish with some sweary Scummy Mummy Confessions.

Emma's brilliant book, Swearing is Good For You: The Amazing Science of Bad Language, is out now. She is on Twitter @SciWriBy.

As a special treat, we are re-releasing this episode with the two Scummy Grandads. Here's one for fans of Ellie's Dad and a chance to meet Helen's Dad, the Vicar - Rev. Tim Thorn. Enjoy x Helen and Ellie

What do you get if you cross an Australian vicar, a comedian from south-east London and several bottles of Sainsbury's cheapest Merlot? That's right, it's the latest episode of The Scummy Mummies Podcast!

Joining Helen and Ellie this time are their dads, Tim and Jim. They talk grandfatherhood, politics, dogs and the secret to having a long and happy marriage. Well, a long marriage.

We test Jim's enclycopedic knowledge of London pubs and Tim discusses getting heckled by his congregation. Plus, we quiz the grandads on modern life - tune in to find out whether Jim knows what a Kardashian is and what Tim makes of Grindr.

And finally there's just time for some Scummy Mummy Confessions. Do send yours in via email - scummymummiespodcast@gmail.com - or Facebook. We're on Twitter too: @scummymummies

Thanks for listening! Grandads, we love you.

We discover how they became a double act, how the show came into being, and which celebrity guests have been their favourite. Ellie tells a hilarious showbiz anecdote about the time she had a row with Gregg Wallace about crisps.

Then it's time for some Dad Chat. Sam explains why children are like Macbooks, and Steve reveals the advice he'd give to his pre-kids self. We find out how well McNeil and Pamphilon know each other with a game of Mr and Mr, and finish up with some Scummy Mummy Confessions.

It's our birthday! And we have a very special guest joining us to celebrate.

One year ago, on the first ever episode of The Scummy Mummies Podcast, we reviewed Viv Groskop's brilliant book I Laughed, I Cried. Now we get to chat with Viv herself, live from the Latitude festival.

We talk about what it's like to do a hundred stand-up gigs in a hundred days and find out what Viv's been up to since then. We get some great recommendations for summer reading and answer the age-old question of whether they have badgers in Australia. Plus there is a surprise cameo by another special guest.  

Many thanks to the lovely people from the New Statesman who let us record in their backstage area. Sorry the sound quality's not so great - it's festival ambience,  innit.

If you'd like to see the Scummy Mummies LIVE, we'll be at Camp Bestival this Friday 1 August, performing in the Guardian Literary...

We find out about her biggest parenting challenge, and hear some very scummy confessions. Plus, we play a stupid game, and Ellie offends an entire nation.

This episode features Dawn Isaac, award-winning gardener, author and perhaps most excitingly, FRIEND OF MR BLOOM.

It's like Scummy Gardener's Question Time as we find out how to get rid of weeds and what to plant if you're lazy. Dawn chats about her book, 101 Things for Kids to do Outside, and we learn an interesting fact about bunting. No, really.

Then Dawn tells us about her experience of working on one of CBeebies' most popular shows, Mr Bloom's Nursery. We find out what the man himself is really like, and Helen's voice goes all wibbly.

But she recovers enough to present our brand new section, A Walk in the Lady Garden, before we round off with some Scummy Mummy Confessions. This time there's a PRIZE for the best one!

Dawn's book, 101 Things for Kids to do Outside, is out now. You can find her blog at littlegreenfingers.com.

This episode features writer, rambler, TV legend and national treasure Clare Balding! We cover all sorts of topics, from nearly messing up Prince Philip's funeral and mentally fat-shaming labradors to feeding horses with your mouth.

Clare tells us all about her brilliant new book, Fall Off, Get Back On, Keep Going, which is out now. We discuss what being kind really means, why she doesn't like selfies, and why she thinks you have to fail 100 times to be good at anything. We ask big questions like how to give kids honest feedback, and help them cope with the pressure to achieve perfection. Plus, Ellie encourages Clare Balding to take drugs, and Helen tells a fart story.

Ho ho ho! It's time to welcome back two of our most available friends, good old Nurse Jessie and Steve "bah humbug" Hill!

In this Christmas special we reveal our highlights of 2017, including our favourite events, songs, food, and sex. Helen has a brand new game for us to play, and of course we enjoy the traditional Ham Review. Then it's time to round off with some festive Scummy Mummy Confessions.

As discussed in this episode, we're supporting the #freeperiods campaign to make menstruation products free for girls already on school meals. The demo kicks off on Wednesday 20 December at 4pm - meet at Parliament Square.

Other gubbins we talk about in the podcast, if you're interested, include Nomad by Alan Partridge, The Roasting Tin by Rukmini Iyer, I Believe in You by Dolly Parton, and Wahaca, which just opened a new branch in Shoreditch.

The need for affordable childcare, managing social anxiety, how to tell if your kid's watched too much Peppa Pig... We deal with all the hot topics in this episode! 

Joining us is the excellent blogger and author Alison Perry. She tells us about her experience of having two babies at once, and her brilliant new book, OMG It's Twins!

We discuss Alison's husband being a stay-at-home dad, and wonder why it's still a novelty for women to be the breadwinners. There's also some chat about how our attitudes to our bodies have changed as we age, and how we're finding socialising again after lockdown. Then it's time for some Scummy Mummy Confessions, plus a parenting tip from Alison which is almost certainly illegal. 

You can find Alison on Instagram @iamalisonperry. Her blog is at notanothermummyblog.com, and she also hosts the excellent Not Another Mummy Podcast.

Listen in to find out how they juggle meeting the head of Sainsbury's with picking poo off the stairs.

Ellie pitches her own brilliant business idea, while Helen insists we play another musical game. And one of our most popular items gets a spin-off in the form of the hugely exciting and disgusting Freezer Surprise. The cold never bothered us anyway. 

Claudi & Fin lollies are made from Greek-style yoghurt and fruit, with added vitamin D. They contain nothing artificial yet they taste very nice. Find out more via ClaudiAndFin.co.uk.

Our guest for this episode is actor and writer Jessica Pidsley, who tells us about her experience of post-partum psychosis. We discuss how she came through it, what warning signs to look for, and why you should never watch Deal or No Deal if you're psychotic.

Jessica chats about her blog, Mutha Courage, and what it's like to perform a one-woman show with a baby strapped to you. Plus there's some talk about hypnobirthing, and Helen attempts a Scottish accent. Sorry, Scotland.

It's Chriiiiiiist Mas! And that means it's time for Nurse Jessie and Steve Hill to join us once again for some daft old festive nonsense. 

As is tradition, we discuss whether the snowman actually does bring the snow, wish Linda a happy birthday, and review some ham. We talk about our highlights of the year, including getting breathalysed and pissing in a pub car park. 

There is a Christmas message from Ellie's Dad, Jessie does a festive joke, and Steve Hill reveals his patented technique for farting in a van. Why they won't let us on Radio 4 we just don't know. We have a new game, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Crispmas, plus - by popular demand - there's a special Christmas edition of The Accent Game.

Yes, it's the Christmas episode! As usual it's an absolute shambles, but tonight, the part of Steve Hill will be played by hilarious comedian Sam Pamphilon! Also the lovely Nurse Jessie is back.

It's A Tale of Two Lindas as we enjoy a twist on our regular festive traditions. We catch up on Jessie's job situation, how our divorces are going, and the results of our STD tests. 

As he's worked with both the Scummy Mummies and AntandDec this year, we ask Sam who is funnier. We share our highlights of 2020, including the time a team of firemen drilled right through Helen's ring. 

This year's Ham Review almost ends in fisticuffs as we have a row about gammon, while Jessie and Sam bring some extra gourmet treats to the party. Do listen right to the end for some Scummy Mummy Confessions and what might be the funniest, filthiest outtake ever. 

Here's the website for Olivia the organiser - heyworthgordon.com. Thank you Melissa @fowlmouthsfood for inspiring Ellie to go off piste with her ham recipe, even though she'll never do that again. And here's the mental health support service Sam mentions - industryminds.co.uk.

What's the best way to announce your separation? Is it possible to stay civil if you're still living together? And how do you cope when your ex's new partner is literally wearing your trousers? Comedian Sam Pamphilon knows the answer to none of these questions, but we have a good laugh anyway! 

The actor and former chef tells us how he's handling the pandemic, and what his signature lockdown dish is. We discuss Sam's sexual preferences, donkeys versus racehorses, chicken vaginas, and Val Kilmer's elbow. It's one of the most honest and hilarious chats we've ever had, so do have a listen.

Yep, expect some very strong language.

How do budgies have it off? Is it OK to fancy your father in-law? And what one thing should you always do when pooing at someone else's house? Answering all these questions is the hilarious comedian Jarred Christmas! 

Yes, that is his real name, and if you think that's funny wait till you hear what the rest of his family is called. He tells us about growing up on a military base, being buddies with Hugh Jackman, and embarrassing himself in front of Tom Cruise. 

We discuss why Jarred is disappointed in his kids for not swearing, and his hatred of golf. Plus: are cats c***s? 

NB: Sorry about the budgie noises, especially at the beginning - they do settle down a bit, honest.

Is booze really stronger when you're on a flight? What did Diana Ross allegedly try to smuggle on Concorde? And is it ever OK to put cheddar in a spaghetti carbonara? Answering all these questions is one of our favourite people - it's Daniel Varani! 

He tells us all about his 15 years working as an air steward, from the weird things passengers leave on their food trays to dealing with people trying to join the mile-high club. Then we chat about Daniel's experience of growing up in London with Italian parents, and how food helped keep him connected to his mum in lockdown. He reveals his authentic bolognese recipe, and blows our minds by sharing the proper way to put parmesan on pasta. We finish off with some Scummy Mummy Confessions, including one from our very own Godfather. 

Daniel's brilliant book, Danny's Kitchen, is available now. You can follow him on Instagram @dannyskitchen_hove.

Ho ho ho! The gang's all here for this year's festive episode as we are joined by Nurse Jessie, Sam Pamphilon and Steve Hill! Is Sam divorced yet? Has Nurse Jessie got a new job? Why are Ellie and James Bond responsible for Steve getting corona? And is it true that we all have two sphincters? Tune in to find out! 

We cover a host of highbrow topics from how men go to the toilet to when it's OK to fart in front of a new lover. Ham Review almost ends in a fistfight, and Sam tells a lovely Christmassy story about a Coke Zero bottle full of piss. Finally, as a special treat, The Accent Game returns. 

NB: Unfortunately there were some technical issues with this recording - some gremlins got in and made parts of the podcast sound all roboty. So we had to delete some bits, such as Sam's chat about what he's been up to (a new baby and a new telly show!), Jessie's gift swap (we got her some feminine hygiene wash!), and the boys' turn at the Accent Game (probably for the best.) But there's arguably more than enough to listen to here anyway...

What's it like being a cat person when you have big dog energy? Which term should we use - co-parenting, single parenting, or double parenting? And what does Philip Larkin have in common with the lead singer of T'Pau? Answering all these questions is the marvellous Nadia Shireen! 

She tells us how she went from Smash Hits sub editor to successful children's author. We discuss the issue of diversity in kids' books, and whether things are getting any better. Then we round off with some chat about sleep deprivation and the role Mark Owen might play in the impending apocalypse. It's jollier than it sounds. 

Buy Nadia's books! The excellent Barbara Throws a Wobbler and Grimwood are out now, and they are brilliant - our kids love them and so do we.

Why are perfect parents bad for kids? How can finding your child in tears be a good sign? And what can parents of teens can learn from hostage negotiators? Answering all these questions is the awesome Tracey Fox!

Our guest for this episode is the amazing Karen Arthur - educator, fashion creative, dancer, mum, grandmother, founder of Wear Your Happy and host of the brilliant podcast Menopause Whilst Black. She's a multimedia node! 

We talk about why she's encouraging everyone to wear clothes that lift their mood, and why it all starts with our knicker drawer. There's a bit of serious chat about how the Black Lives Matter movement inspired Karen to start her podcast, and we get to ask her what she wishes she'd known before she went through the menopause. Plus we hear about Karen's experience of going through therapy, why she thinks it's good to cull your insta feed, and what she looks for in a sex toy.

You can find out more about all Karen's awesome work, including her podcasts, styling sessions and sewing lessons, via her linktree. She is @therealkarenarthur on instagram.

They tell us all about their book, Put a Wet Paper Towel On It, and their awesome stage tour. We chat about everything from how they coped in the pandemic to the weirdest things kids bring in for show and tell.

What can we do to prepare ourselves for grief? Is there a right and wrong way to fight? And should we force our children to say sorry? Answering all these questions and many more is the brilliant psychotherapist, Julia Samuel. 

She tells us about her experience of helping people through child bereavement, and we discuss the conversations we need to have with our own parents before it's too late. We talk about sharing the mental load, and living losses, including the ones we're dealing with right now. So there's some deep stuff in here - but as always, we manage to have some laughs along the way. 

Julia's excellent book, Every Family Has a Story, is out on 17 March. Visit juliasamuel.co.uk for more info, and follow her on Instagram @juliasamuelmbe.

Our guest for this episode is the hilarious comedian and cook George Egg, aka the Snack Hacker! What this man has to say about pimping Pot Noodles, Greggs pasties and Fray Bentos pies will blow your mind. 

We hear about how he got started in performing, and ended up making scrambled eggs in a cement mixer. George shares his most popular Snack Hacker recipe - you'll never look at a naan bread in the same way.

Then it's time for some serious chat, as George talks about losing his parents very close to each other. He tells us what he wishes he'd done differently before they died, and what has helped him to deal with the grief. It's funnier than it sounds. 

And of course, we end with some hilarious Scummy Mummies Confessions, involving baby excrement, STI tests, and pass the parcel. 

For more from George, go to georgeegg.com, and follow him on Instagram @georgeegg.

What would happen if you put your kids in TOTAL charge of the family budget for a whole day? What would they learn? What would you learn? Will the entire budget be blown on LEGO? 

@starlingbank set us this very challenge in this week’s special bonus episode. We gave our lads a budget for a family day out, and a Starling Kite card so they could spend and keep track of the money independently. Tune in to find out whether they wasted it all on V-bucks and sweets, and whose son spent the most on their Mother's Day present.

True story: we've been with Starling for years, and we're big fans of their work. It's super easy to apply for an account with them and their app is so simple to use. With Starling Kite, kids get a snazzy contactless debit card and their own version of the app, and you’re able to keep an eye on things and set limits all from your own Starling account. It’s a great way to get kids thinking about money for only £2 a month. We had a right laugh testing it out with our boys, so why not give the #StarlingKidsTakeover challenge a go yourself? 

You can sign up for a Kite Card here https://www.starlingbank.com/current-account/kite-debit-card-for-kids/?utm_source=acast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sm

And check out their worksheet here https://www.starlingbank.com/docs/KidsTakeover.pdf

Many thanks to Starling for sponsoring this episode. And thanks for listening! As always, you can find links to our other podcast episodes, show dates and tickets, and merch at scummymummies.com. #AD
