There's some Serious Chat in this episode, as regular guest Nurse Jessie joins us to talk about the tricky topic of discipline. Does smacking work? Is a bribe better than a threat? Plus: Jessie reveals her top tip for swift potty training. (Spoiler: it's not something they teach at nurse school.)

We have two stupid new games - Revenge is Sweets, where Ellie gets to punish Jessie for perceived childhood misdemeanours, and Madonna or Mandela?, where Ellie gets to punish Jessie for not being good at a quiz. 

To round everything off we have a Scummy Confessions SPECIAL. We read out some of the best (i.e. most revolting) revelations from audience members at our recent London 
stage show.

If you'd like to come and see us at the Brighton Fringe, we're performing at Upstairs at Three and Ten. The show is on Sat 10, Sun 11 and bank holiday Mon 26 May, all at 1pm. Tickets are £8.50 / £7 from the Brighton Fringe website. 

Thanks for listening! 

Nutritionist and dietitian Jo Travers is our guest on this episode. She covers everything from weaning and getting toddlers to eat vegetables to grown-up subjects, such as: how much wine is too much wine? (Spoiler: less than the amount that was consumed during the recording of this podcast.)

We find out why Sainsbury's fish fingers are better than Jamie's, and whether sugar really is going to be the death of us all. Plus we play a brand new game, Did They Really Eat That? (Maybe don't listen to that bit while you're having your tea.) And to round it all off, we have some special food-themed Scummy Mummy Confessions. (As above.)

Now available on iTunes or listen now 

You can find out more about Jo and her work via her website, The London Nutritionist.
