Our guest for this episode is the awesome Daisy-May Hudson. She tells us about her experience of homelessness, and her journey from documentary maker to film director.

We discuss Daisy-May's latest movie, Lollipop, which tells the story of a woman fighting to get her children back, and a friendship that's rekindled along the way. It's out on the 13 June and it's absolutely brilliant.

There's also some chat about Daisy-May's documentaries - Halfway, which she made when her family was made homeless, and Holloway, about former inmates of the infamous women's prison. Holloway is out on 20 June.

Of course, we finish off with some Scummy Mummy Confessions. Daisy-May tries to reframe Helen's tale of pissing herself as a celebration of freedom, and Ellie nearly pisses herself laughing.

Is being a restaurant reviewer the best job in the world? Where's the best place to book a table right now? And how did a picky eater become an award-winning food critic? Answering all these questions is Jimi Famurewa!

He tells us all about his brilliant new book, Picky. We discuss Jimi's time as a connoisseur of all-day breakfast in a can, and share some strong opinions on butter boards.

There's also some serious chat as we talk about what it was like to grow up in the shadow of the BNP and the murder of Stephen Lawrence. Jimi discusses his time working for Zoo and Maxim magazine in the noughties, and how he feels about his role in lad culture now. Ellie confesses to her own sexist contribution, and claims it was a different time.

Plus, Jimi tries a delicacy from Helen's home country, and we share some Scummy Mummy Confessions involving a towel, a hot tub, and a prawn cocktail.

Picky is out now. Follow Jimi on the socials @jimfamished.

An Englishwoman, an Irishwoman, a Greek and an Australian walk into a DJ booth... No, it's not the start of a joke, it's the latest episode of the Scummy Mummies Podcast!

Our guests are the hilarious comedians Riona O'Connor and Olga Thompson. Due to an administrative error, we find ourselves crammed into an unpleasantly warm enclosed space. We get up close and personal about pretty much everything - body confidence, the menopause, Jedward, friendship, school WhatsApp groups, ageing, the Crowded House origins story, raising teens, mental breakdown, and what to do if your tortoise has a prolapsed anus. Plus we play a revealing round of I Have Never: Menopausal Old Slags' Edition.
