Summary
Together Anna, Helen and Ellie tackle the following connundrum:
"Hey Anna. I cannot stand my in-laws. They undermine my parenting and make comments about my weight. My husband doesn't stand up for me as he wants to keep peace. What can we do so that at least me and him aren't at loggerheads over it all?"
Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn joined forces to become The Scummy Mummies in 2013. They have since gone on to produce an award-winning podcast, a sell-out touring comedy show, a popular book, and their own range of merchandise. They have an ever-growing social media presence, with more than 160,000 followers on Instagram.
There are now over 200 episodes of The Scummy Mummies Podcast, and they have been downloaded more than 5 million times in 150 countries. The show has featured in “Best Podcast” lists in The Guardian, the Sunday Times, and The Telegraph. It has been nominated for a British Podcasts Award plus Mixcloud and Lovies awards, and in 2020 won the Glomama UK Best Podcast trophy.
