How many women can you name? Its our International Women's Day Special! Join us for discussion of our favourite women, how we celebrate the big day and whether Princes Diana was murdered by the British State. In this episode we celebrate the women in our lives as we flip the script on the podcast to ask 'Who's Your Mummy...Really?' as Joe gives us his mother figures (or mum-bers) - We chat about Joe's mums involvement in a Dysgu Cymraeg doping scandal, her love of knitting baby booties, and her inexplicable addiction to Big Fish flash games in the late 00s. If you don't listen to this episode you're part of the problem.

Have you ever asked your dad what his favourite aspect of fatherhood is LIVE on a podcast? In a Who's Your Daddy...Really? first, we hear from a dad LIVE ON POD as May phones in to quiz Martin on his favourite aspects of fatherhood!

In the episode we also discuss May's dad hobbies, from her dad's stellar squash career, including a stint as Cornish number one, his time living in his childhood bedroom, along with his hatred for iCarly.

We also chat about Joe's dad wandering off to do DIY during a visit home, whether a baby can learn gymnastics, and the key ways to spot when something is written by AI.

In another first, we feature our first AD READ** for one of May's dad's favourite products, "Uncle Franks" - available at all good retailers.

**NON-SPON**

What is the ideal age for your parents to get divorced?

We break new ground in this episode as we welcome May Thompson back to discuss the father figures of the first divorced dad on pod: Martin Thompson - sociology teacher and dad-of-the-sea. We explore Martin's influence on May's life and personality, from igniting her interest in comedy to leading her to become a quieter queer person who doesn't wear badges.

We also discuss the ins and outs of Martin's latest hobby: scuba diving. Dissecting the dangerous misrepresentation of snorkels in cartoons and asking: what is at the bottom of the sea? If you found Atlantis there, would you come back to dry land or stay down there with your new mermaid wife? Joe breaks into a Morrissey impression as we reflect on a now-defunct (or should I say, de-FUNKED) comedy night that was invaded by a fourteen-piece jazz-funk band fundraising for a yoga charity. Finally, May tells us about the time she touched her dad on 9/11, the time they bonded while watching the Women's Euros Final on her phone in a church, plus she tells us what she really thinks of Andy Parsons.
