January 27, 2014 Episode 13: The Sherlock of Moles - Gay Dad Special with Dr Greg Schwager
This episode stars the wonderful Dr Greg Schwager. He talks about being a new dad, a gay dad, a doctor dad and a very tired dad, often all at the same time.
As a qualified psychiatrist, he also shares his top tips for raising happy, healthy children, without going mental yourself.
Helen exploits the occasion of having a fellow Australian on the podcast by making Ellie eat some revolting local delicacies, and Ellie nearly throws up.
We make Dr Greg play our fun new game, Look At My Bits, and there's some chat about our favourite (and least favourite) parenting books.
Keep listening for those Scummy Mummy Confessions, an exciting announcement about the return of our Live Show, and some singing. Yeah sorry.

January 14, 2014 Episode 12: Kids Rave Special - Big fish, little fish fingers
Get out the glowsticks and the disco biscuits - all right, the breadsticks and the rich tea biscuits - it's a RAVE SPECIAL!
Our special guest is Hannah Saunders, founder of Big Fish, Little Fish. She runs family dance parties where parents can party like it's 1992, and kids can experience all the fun of raving. Well, most of the fun.
We take a trip down Scummory Lane as we reminisce about our dancing days, and Helen explains what a "bushdoofer" is. Then it's time to recreate some classic rave tunes in the Scummy Mummies style - think Guru Josh reimagined for the descant recorder.
As always we have some Scummy Mummies Confessions to share; wee continues to be a popular theme.
Please have a listen!

January 05, 2014 Episode 11: Pregnant in Greggs
It's the Scummy Mummies New Year Special! Featuring stay-at-home dad Steve Hill as our "special" guest.
We take a look back at the year's top stories, i.e. we pretend to know anything at all about current affairs as an excuse to do horsemeat and Nigella jokes.
Ellie tells an amusing anecdote about being pregnant in Greggs, Helen explains why death can be a positive thing and Steve watches the darts.
There's some hot meat-based debate in Ham Review, while in Things of the Year we reveal our favourite books, games and days out with the kids. Plus of course there's Scummy Mummy Confessions.
