The Thots are back baybeeeee! 

This week we're tackling the cultural JUGGERNAUT that is Peppa Pig. 

We're covering everything from gender politics and communism to accents and health and safety concerns. 

We're also welcoming back much-missed the Common Sense Media section! 

Love her or hate her, this little piggy controls the entire market and there's nothing anyone can do about it. 

Happy new year everyone,
Laura/Meg/Elsie xoxo

Merry Christmas dear dear listeners!

We were supposed to be taking a break for the holidays but we just couldn't stay away! 
As a Christmas treat to ourselves, we've broken the theme of the podcast for just one week to bring you our favourite family film - Nanny McPhee.

A staple holiday-season-tv-schedule-filler; a vehicle for Emma Thompson's brilliance; the best child actors this country has ever seen; an embarrassment of national treasures; and unexpectedly emotional FROM START TO FINISH.

We hope you have a peaceful Christmas, and we can't wait to come back to your waiting ears in the new year.

All our love

The Thots (Laura/Meg/Elsie) Xoxo

Check-in time with the Thots!

We're taking a (tiny) break over the Christmas period, but we have a VERY special surprise lined up for you in the meantime.

Stay tuned for a holiday special dropping in late December, and keep on chatting to us on the socials - we love hearing from you!

We're genuinely touched by all of the support you've given us over our first year, and we wouldn't still be here 12 months later without all the love you've sent our way.

Happy holidays! We can't wait to see you in year two!

"I'm a Thot, je suis une Thot.

Laura, Meg, and Elsie."

We've kept you in suspense for long enough... we're FINALLY covering the most obvious subject for us to cover.

Another long-awaited development: we recorded this episode in a REAL LIFE STUDIO.

Cautionary tales for lovers of squeem...

In this SECOND (we love Halloween) spooky special, we're talking about the TV show with the HIGHEST NUMBER OF CHILD DEATHS PER AVERAGE EPISODE. Probably. We didn't check.

Digressions include; the inherent terror of mirrors; our individual preparations for any potential home invasion; the scribblings of Edward Gorey; and childhood attempts at "creative writing".

In other news - we have a Tik Tok now! Check it out at @thotstv

wooooOOOO!

In this spoooooky episode, we're exploring not one, not two, but THREE shows from the distant(ish) past. Just like the Amicus Productions movies and (more importantly) the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror specials before us, we are taking three short stories and shoving them into one seasonal episode.

Meg and Laura make their "telling the others stuff that they found on Wikipedia " debut with Mona the Vampire and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy respectively. Elsie discusses the half-forgotten, half-lost, and most CURSED media ever committed to VHS: The Spooks of Bottle Bay.

Grab your pumpkin spice lattes and get comfy behind the sofa... It's our HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

No, you didn't dream this show up. It exists. We watched it so you don't have to. We hate it.

ENJOY!!!

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today on this hallowed ground (listening platform of your choice), to celebrate the life of the UK's second favourite children's television channel.

The Thots are here to eulogise the channel which has recently died a slow, painful, tragic death.

From the daring, new Watch It! era of the 1980s, to the dizzying heights of possible Nicholodeon mergers in the 2000s, and finally the slow, painful drawn-out death by underfunding, we're going to explain the entire history of children's programming on ITV.

Along the way, we're discussing UK advertisement restrictions pertaining to children's TV, the method by which we gather audience viewing data, and the pernicious monopoly that online streaming has become.

Oh, and Meg talks about her boobs.

RIP CITV. Forever in our hearts, never on our tellies.

"Clifford!" ~ Emily Elizabeth. 

Join us for our VERY FIRST cartoon episode! (How has it taken nine months?) 
We're here to talk about the logistical and political nightmare that is owing a dog bigger than your own house. XL Bullies have NOTHING on this absolute unit. 

Other topics covered include the epic highs and devastating lows of the Scholastic Book Fair; Elsie's cat's dad's nip dealer; a stand-off between Meg and her boyfriend's dog; the left-handed majority amongst your hosts; Laura's uncanny ability to avoid the headlines; and Elsie's current TV obsession - Adam West's Batman!

Also, Mike Young gets a second mention in fourteen episodes.

WOOF!

BOG OFF ELAINE!

We're FINALLY broaching the huge, scary, sacred topic of Tracy Beaker - starting off with the emotionally devastating first series.

We admire bold fashion choices of Justine Littlewood; we rediscover the endless charm of our Spiritual Queen Dani Harmer; Mike Milligan heals our inner child; and we all suffer from acute and sudden onset hay-fever.

Grab your tissues and prepare for an unusually thoughtful episode, in which we actually manage to stay on topic for more than ten minutes!
