What's the best way to cut down on your drinking? Why do mums like wine so much, anyway? And what is the collective noun for members of All Saints? Answering all these questions and more is Rosamund Dean, author of Mindful Drinking!


She tells her how her own experiences as a mum on the sauce led her to write the book, and Ellie and Helen discuss how it's changed their lives. We find out whether we're Abstainers or Moderators, and why it matters when you're trying to drink less. There are also some practical tips for choosing a signature soft drink, thinking about booze as if it's cake, and following the free champagne rule.

​Then we enjoy some frankly astonishing insights into what it must be like to be Helen Thorn with brand new game, Pissed or Stupid? We discover what a Gibson Measure is, and have a whinge about World Book Day.


Rosamund's brilliant book is out now and you can follow her on Twitter @rosamunddean and Instagram @rosamunddean.

HE'S BACK! Last time we had Keith Stuart on the podcast, he was just some guy who'd written a book. Now he is a best-selling novelist, famous all over the globe, and a close personal friend of Richard Madeley!
​
OK that's a bit of an exaggeration, but he did get to meet Richard and Judy, and we get to hear all about that. There's also some chat about Days of Wonder, Keith's brilliant new book, which is out now.

​In a bid to be topical we talk about Fortnite, the video game that all the kids are into these days. We also discuss our brand new, custom designed, totally awesome catsuits, which were made by the amazing State of Disarray.


You can follow Keith on Twitter@keefstuart, and Instagram @keef.stuart. The website we mention in the Fortnite chat is askaboutgames.com, and Keith's ace article on the subject was for the Guardian.
