Summary

She's back! Everyone's favourite purveyor of filthy stick figure cartoons is here to talk about playdate shame, managing teens, and what is better: dogs or children?

Meanwhile, we get an update on Helen's love life - let's talk about socks, baby. Honestly, there's no point trying to summarise it here, you're just going to have to listen in...

And of course we discuss Katie's brilliant new book, The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Books. It's out now and it's a fantastic read for 9-12 year-olds, or indeed 40-plus year-olds like us who just want something funny to read in the bath.

SAFETY NOTICE: This podcast was recorded remotely, which is why it sounds a bit different - sorry about that. We're doing our best, and we'll be back to sitting on Ellie's sofa with our guests as soon as it's safe to do so.

0:00.0	Today's episode is sponsored by EE. Now we have managed to record this episode amongst just the
0:05.0	sheer chaos of two alive, juggling teens, homework, washing piles and just mess. They just mess
0:11.0	all the time. How my kids know how to tie their own shoes or the days of the week is beyond me,
0:15.9	but help is at hand. I am very pleased to tell you that EE have introduced EE Learn.
0:21.9	It's a collection of tools, services and information to help families like mine learn wonderful
0:26.8	things and it's open to everyone everywhere. Their new digital platform, EE Learn Smart,
0:32.0	gives kids access to inspiring mentors from fabulous places like BAFTA and the FA. The lessons
0:37.5	can help kids pick up new skills that will help them get on and this could be something from
0:42.4	backyard chemistry to future ready financial advice. Do you know what? I just wish I had something
0:46.7	like this when I was growing up. Actually, I think I'm still growing up, so I better go to EE Learn
0:52.4	right now. And if you want to find out more, just search EE Learn.

1:29.4	I'd like to be back. No, you haven't been on the podcast before Katie, so we know who you are,
1:34.3	but for the listener, would you introduce yourself, Katie Kirby? Who are you?
1:38.5	I'm a person who draws sweary stick people for a living and somehow I've managed to make it into
1:46.8	a career. Yeah, I don't know how, but it's, I've carried on doing it and I've wrote some books and
1:53.0	done some merchandise and stuff like that. I hang about on Facebook and Instagram and yeah,
1:59.3	that's about it, really? Wizardry, really. I am a wizard, yeah.
2:05.7	Yeah, I know. I was explaining it to someone, my friends kids the other day and they were like,
