Summary

We are honoured to have two absolute legends as our guests for this episode - Jane Garvey and Fi Glover, off of Radio 4!

They tell us about their award-winning podcast, Fortunately. We get some advice on raising teenagers, including how honest we should be with kids about our own teenage years, and how to handle them going off to university.

Then there's a whole load of chat about everything from the anti-vaccination movement and Bergerac, to interviewing Rolf Harris and whether you can get pregnant standing up. Helen reveals the unlikely song she had played at her wedding, and Ellie teaches Fi and Jane a new word for pornography.

You can download the brilliant Fortunately podcast from the BBC, or wherever you get your podcasts. Follow Jane on Twitter @janegarvey1; Fi is @fifiglover.
