The Scummy Mummies Podcast

For this episode we're joined by comedy duo Steve McNeil and Sam Pamphilon. They're the creators of hit TV show Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit, which also stars our very own Ellie Gibson!

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.

You can follow M&P on Twitter at @stevemcneil and @sampamphilon. If you want to watch Steve play games, he's @stevefromgo8bit on Twitch, YouTube, and Instagram. Visit stevemcneil.co.uk for details of live shows, including The Video Game Game Show - Steve, Sam and Ellie will be appearing in this together on 17 April in London. Tickets are on sale now.

In this episode we meet Deborah James, aka Bowel Babe, who is currently going through intensive chemotherapy after being diagnosed with late stage cancer. And we have a right old laugh! 

Deborah tells us what it was like to receive her diagnosis, and how she's sharing the news with her kids. We find out that chemo isn't like in the movies, and discover that like most things, it's more bearable with wine.

There's some serious chat about Deborah's views on mortality and how she looks to the future. Then we play a game about swearing!

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.
