 Mother Pukka and Papa Pukka at last offer you this: a book that will not help you grow or raise a human successfully. But this is a book that might, if you're not too emotionally battered - and can see past the permanent eye twitch - help you laugh a little more than you cry.

BONUS − JOE: The Best of Season 1

JUST RELEASED: tickets to Dirty Mother Pukka LIVE! on Tue 23 Oct at the AllBright club W1. SEE LINK&nbsp;bit.ly/2yJNUCy.
A panel of mothers, a panel of papas and one simple mission: to Parent the Sh!t out of Life. This is the honest, funny and occasionally grotty podcast for people who happen to be parents.
Mother Pukka (Anna Whitehouse) is a journalist, editor, vlogger and family-flogger. With partner Papa Pukka (Matt Farquharson), they believe parents can laugh through the madness of keeping small humans alive.
Each episode puts grown-up quandaries to a panel of brutally honest mums, followed by a panel of equally frank dads, to reveal the dirty truth of each rung of the parental ladder. Whatever the questions, Dirty Mother Pukka is the #nofilter truth about modern parenting. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Kids & Family

Who’s the best parent and who do the kids prefer? The panel consider competitive parenting (and how Anna’s dad used a starting pistol to train her for school sports day), a lost muff and what’s in a Puritan’s lunchbox. Plus: presenting a poorly dressed baby to Kylie Minogue, and why the dads all think they’re second-choice parent. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#28 BEST PARENT: Who Do Your Children Love The Least?

How long a leash should you give your nippers? And how can you maintain your independence once you have kids? The panels consider the end of ‘pottering’ as a hobby, hiding from your family in the toilet, and tea-making as a childhood right of passage.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#26 FREEDOM: Being the UN and Hiding in Toilets

The girls consider kids and slime, the family ‘technology box’, and the lost art of speaking to strangers in bars, while the boys discuss the ‘midlife crisis blue tick’, being married to an Avatar or Smurf, and whether bullying was worse when it was punches in the playground or now, when it’s digital digs that run 24/7.

#25 SOCIAL MEDIA: Murky Holes and Blue Faces

The panels consider the benefits of separating with a smile and how divorce can be good, using Nintendo devices for reconciliation, and staying married because it’s easier than filling out all the forms. So if you had to split, what would be the reason?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#24 DIVORCE: The Final Frontier

How do you encourage tiny people to love their bodies? How do you remain fond of yours when it’s collapsing? Plus: why the increasing grotesqueness of Joe and Matt sickens midlife gun-pumper Noel, and whether body paint actually tastes better on toast.
