Parenting Hell Podcast #5

[frillylilly]

I think the change in guests has come from their decision to start filming the pod. Whereas before a lot of guests could just jump on a zoom call or something, now they’ve got to do a full studio set up and either won’t want to do that or will charge a lot more

Remember they started during lockdowns when people were generally free

I’m still hoping they’ll get Bob Mortimer one day… but find it interesting he’s done a few other comedy podcasts and not this one yet! Although it may just be he doesn’t want to talk about his kids in such a public forum l suppose

Bob Mortimer would be fantastic!
And Joanna Page, Paul Whitehouse, David Mitchell, Katherine Parkinson, Emma Willis, Lucy Punch, Jennifer Saunders.... there's so many possibilities, especially now the children are older and there's different parenting issues

I just came on here to say the same thing! The title was faithful or traitor but they didn’t mention it once?
I wonder if they’ve got some editing issues because one episode Josh talks about his ski trip and then a few episodes later he’s talking about “when he goes on the ski trip”. It’s actually really annoying when you listen in order

I listen on Spotify and in the episode notes it says something like there is actually no talk of Traitors but Michael is going to milk it for all it's worth (click bait basically)

I mean, a lot of these people might have been asked but maybe they don’t want to talk about their family for a variety of reasons. I love both Helen Skelton and Bob Mortimer but Helen went through a pretty bad divorce while her youngest was still a baby and maybe doesn’t want to end up getting into all that. I googled and Bob doesn’t really talk about his kids

Yes that’s true, but she often will speak about them in other things and on her insta, and to be honest, some of the guests don’t really say much about parenting at all!

I could have sworn Helen had been on already. Must be another podcast I'm thinking about.

Well I have to go through the episodes every time I think about it and I’ve never found one. I think she’d be great. Default parenting to the max!
