Our guest for this episode is the brilliant Penny Wincer - writer, photographer, and carer. She tells us about looking after her mum when she was a teenager, and what life is like now she is caring for her autistic son.


We learn about how it feels to be the child of a person with mental health issues, and how Penny coped after her mum's suicide. She also shares the biggest lesson she learned from her mum's experience 

​We discuss the stigma that still exists around special education, and the difficulties and benefits of having a child who's on a different path. Penny gives us some useful advice for carers, and some ideas for how those around them can offer support. We hear about Penny's own self-care strategies, and why she thinks mum guilt is bullshit. Plus: find out why Helen's coffee machine is like a vagina. 


Penny's superb book, Tender: The Imperfect Art of Caring, is out now. You can find her website at pennywincer.com, or follow her on Instagram @pennywincer.

Sindy talks about making the transition from being a single parent to having a partner, and Vanel explains how it was a random selfie that got them together in the first place.

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 Edinburgh 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.

We talk about Jade's role in the Black Lives Matter movement, and the brilliant piece she wrote about why we must speak up. You can read the full article at motherpukka.co.uk. 


Jade talks about why she wants to own the title of Angry Black Woman, and why it's important to have uncomfortable conversations. We also talk about her personal experience of the UK's maternity and mental health services. 
​

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.

CLASSIC EPISODE! We are re-releasing this fabulous episode from 2018 with the brilliant Ortis Deley. This episode is full of laughs and nonsense, plus some excellent tech chat and talk about the charity Practical Action, an organisation which we all support. Enjoy.

Episode Details:


Our guest for this episode is Ortis Deley, off of CBBC and The Gadget Show! He tells us about how he manages tech time in his house, the best and stupidest gadgets he's ever seen, and whether we really need a wet wipe warmer.


We go behind the scenes on the Smash Hits Roadshow, and find out what happened the night Kerry met Brian. Ortis discusses how he feels about having a second child, and reveals his top mobile phone picks.


There's also some charity chat as we talk about Practical Action. Follow Practical Action @practical_action.


We round off with a ludicrous new game, Techno or Tech Faux?, and of course our Scummy Mummy Confessions.


The Scummy Mummies book is OUT NOW! We hope you like it, and if you do, we'd love an Amazon review!

How can we help our children handle their worries? What's the best way to deal with bullying? Is it realistic to want kids to be happy all the time? Answering all these questions and more is the brilliant Dr Angharad Rudkin! 


She tells us about her work as a child psychologist, and how having kids herself changed the way she deals with parents. We find out why it's important to think about our core values, and how to help children manage their friendships. Plus, we discover what to do if your child's the one doing the bullying, and are relieved to learn not even child psychologists' kids eat their vegetables. 

​OLD GOLD! We are bringing this classic episode back for you because it is one of our favourites and we love the work of Natalie Lee aka Style Me Sunday. This was recorded back in 2017 and Natalie has now gone onto to be a mega-star on Instagram. On her account @stylemesunday she speaks openly about body positivity, female pleasure, race and diversity in fashion. If you are not following her, do so immediately! Enjoy.

How do you parent your kids when you were raised strictly, but you're a hippy at heart? How does it feel to be the second most famous person on the Isle of Wight? And what's Mr Tumble REALLY like? Answering all these questions is the amazing DJ Rob Da Bank!

We talk about how music was his escape when growing up in a rural backwater, and why, as an adult, he decided to make his kids live in a rural backwater. We learn how Rob ended up with four kids under 10, and why Fred Siriex is in charge of his family planning. As always we round off with some Scummy Mummy Confessions, including a special one just for Rob. 


SAFETY NOTICE: This episode was recorded before lockdown, no worries lads. And we're sad to say Camp Bestival has been called off this year, but with a bit of luck it'll be back in 2021. We'll be there with bells (and catsuits) on.

OLD GOLD! As we are all in a new era of parenting in a pandemic, we thought that we would re-release this episode with the fabulous psychotherapist Philippa Perry. This was recorded back in early 2019, when we could all hug each other, but listening to this will be like having an audible hug. Enjoy!

​Is your child a Dandelion or an Orchid? What's the one piece of advice every new parent needs to hear? And how do you get kids to put their bloody shoes on? Answering these questions is brilliant psychotherapist Philippa Perry!


She tells us all about her fantastic new book, The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read (And Your Children Will Be Glad That You Did). We talk about why our childhood experiences are so important when it comes to bringing up our own kids, and the best way to cope when they're driving you loopy.


There's some chat about sleep, Philippa's opinion of the "crying it out" method, and what she suggests as an alternative. We get some advice on managing screentime, giving praise, dealing with lying and helping kids when parents separate.


Philippa's new book is properly one of our favourite parenting guides ever, and it's out now. She's on Twitter @philippa_perry. You can hear her Radio 4 programme about lying on iPlayer. And do check out our previous podcast with Philippa, where we talk relationship advice, managing the arrival of a new sibling, and much more.

In 2017, we put out a podcast with the legendary Dr Ranj. It was funny, fabulous, and filthy - just like him. However, for reasons lost in the mists of time, we were forced to take it down. But now, by popular demand... It's BACK. 


Listen now to find out what Ranj is really thinking when he watches a woman give birth. He tells us the funniest thing that ever happened to him in A&E, and even gives us some actual medical advice - including what every parent should have in their bathroom cabinet, and the best way to get rid of nits. 

For more from the amazing Dr Ranj, do check out his new podcast - Steths, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll. It's out now and you can listen in via iTunes, Audioboom, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Follow him on Twitter and Instagram @DrRanj.

​WINE TIME! As we all drinking a few more glasses of wine than usual, we thought we would re-release this classic podcast with wine expert Helen McGinn. Helen now features regularly on the BBC's Saturday Kitchen and her book The Knackered Mother's Wine Guide: Because Life's too Short to Drink Bad Wine is now available.

Ever wondered what wine goes with fish fingers? Is it really worth spending a tenner instead of a fiver? And what's the best way to avoid hangovers? We answer all these questions and more with the help of wine expert Helen McGinn. 
She tells us all about her award-winning blog and best-selling book, The Knackered Mother's Wine Club. We find out why Ribena is technically more expensive than booze, and discuss Nigella's recipe for wine soup. Plus Helen M reveals what goes on behind the scenes at The Alan Titchmarsh Show (spoiler: Atomic Kitten like a drink.)
We explain why Prosecco is the Helen Thorn of wines and she tells us about her goon bag. Ellie outlines her idea for a breastmilk-themed drinking game and we test Helen M on her wine label knowledge with an inevitably stupid quiz.
Visit Helen McGinn's blog to sign up for her regular emails. Her book comes highly recommended and you can also followed her on Twitter: @knackeredmutha.
We're on Twitter too: @scummymummies. We love getting reviews on iTunes and reading your Scummy Mummy Confessions - please send in via Facebook or email scummymummiespodcast@gmail.com.

Our guest for this episode is the amazing Njambi McGrath - comedian, author, childbirth expert, and mum. We cover everything from dirty underpants and bringing up mixed race kids to culturally problematic wallpaper and nits. 


Njambi tells us about her fantastic book, Through the Leopard's Gaze, which is all about her experience of growing up in Kenya and surviving family abuse. We discuss the trials of dealing with teenagers, and Njambi shares her ultimate parenting tip. 

​Through the Leopard's Gaze is out now. You can catch Njambi's comedy specials via nextup.com.

Full disclosure: this may be the loudest, fastest, funniest, filthiest podcast we've ever done. We were thrilled to meet the amazing Cat and Nat, and none of us could stop talking the whole time. Definitely not one to listen to with the kids around - pour yourself a wine, lock the toilet door, and strap in...

​This episode starts with a very strong chat about whether we've looked at our own downstairses, and doesn't get any more highbrow from there. We talk about everything from friendship, being in a double act and performing live shows to how often we have sex. How important is it to have a partner who's funny? What do you do if your kids start swearing? And how do you give a hand job that's better than a blow job? We chat about all this and more... #brexspit

For more from these bloody legends, visit catandnat.ca. You can follow them @catandnat, and watch their fantastic videos on YouTube. They also have a podcast and a book, both called Mom Truths.

There are some practical tips for what you can do and what you should avoid if you want to look after your mental health. And, of course, there's a bit of filth and some jokes about pooing.

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.
