This week we’re going back to school with James Acaster and we could not be more excited about it. Come and reminisce with us about school politics, trips, mischief and much more. Of course there’s an armpit ordeal and a lengthy discussion about christian rock bands along the way.

And a sneak preview to our extra patreon episode too..

It’s the final episode of season one, so we’re finishing off with a bang! We have the fantastic Nish Kumar with us and even better we have him in a Goofy hat. Thank you for being with us for this series and we hope you enjoy ending series one on questions like “were surgeons butchers?”, football injuries, ass shots, electric shot puzzles, prime ministers and Helen’s second puberty.

It’s our penultimate episode of Series One and Helen’s learning to flirt. Here to help is comedy’s biggest stud, Ele Mckenzie! This is truly a gift of an episode so please enjoy toileting at home, ghosts, peeing, vloggers, what we eat in a day and lots of vibrator chat.

Helen’s had a dream takeaway and we’re discussing dream jobs, first jobs and Gelato. If you love London zoo you’re in for a real treat as our wonderful guest Alice gives us the inside scoop on lions, tigers and bears. Not forgetting the nocturnal animals section. We also deep dive into hustling and picking up snails. Enjoy!

Helen’s back in the UK and flying solo today. She’s had the time of her life in Oz but thankfully is back for her dear logs. Get ready to hear all about why watching a horror film in a middle seat feels illegal, birdwatching, being caught short in a supermarket, galas, reviews and botanical gardens. Thank gawd she’s home!

Gather, gather because it’s the safety episode! We recorded this a million years ago in case Helen was ever stuck in a cave and couldn’t make it to the studio. It’s the Wild West of an episode, we talk a lot about inner childs, therapy, parents, Furbies, resting and Spotify playlists.
