Mother Pukka

Mother Pukka

JUST RELEASED: tickets to Dirty Mother Pukka LIVE! on Tue 23 Oct at the AllBright club W1. SEE LINK bit.ly/2yJNUCy. A panel of mothers, a panel of papas and one simple mission: to Parent the Sh!t out of Life. This is the honest, funny and occasionally grotty podcast for people who happen to be parents. Mother Pukka (Anna Whitehouse) is a journalist, editor, vlogger and family-flogger. With partner Papa Pukka (Matt Farquharson), they believe parents can laugh through the madness of keeping small humans alive. Each episode puts grown-up quandaries to a panel of brutally honest mums, followed by a panel of equally frank dads, to reveal the dirty truth of each rung of the parental ladder. Whatever the questions, Dirty Mother Pukka is the #nofilter truth about modern parenting. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Who’s the best parent and who do the kids prefer? The panel consider competitive parenting (and how Anna’s dad used a starting pistol to train her for school sports day), a lost muff and what’s in a Puritan’s lunchbox. Plus: presenting a poorly dressed baby to Kylie Minogue, and why the dads all think they’re second-choice parent.

At look at rage issues – how to manage them in children and keep a lid on them for yourself, including: being left on the roadside by an angry parent, the 80s trend for smacking, being ‘the bigger person’ out of spite, pretending to move out and how nice it would be to have a toddler tantrum at work.

In a special episode, sponsored by Lights by TENA, Anna is joined by Candice Brathwaite and the Scummy Mummies to talk about being a grown woman and accidentally weeing in your knickers. Pregnancy can do cruel things to a woman's body, but it's not just mothers who are affected: one in three women over 35 suffer with bladder weakness at some stage. So give your kegels a squeeze and tune in for a very special episode. ***Ple...

How long a leash should you give your nippers? And how can you maintain your independence once you have kids? The panels consider the end of ‘pottering’ as a hobby, hiding from your family in the toilet, and tea-making as a childhood right of passage.

The girls consider kids and slime, the family ‘technology box’, and the lost art of speaking to strangers in bars, while the boys discuss the ‘midlife crisis blue tick’, being married to an Avatar or Smurf, and whether bullying was worse when it was punches in the playground or now, when it’s digital digs that run 24/7.

The panels consider the benefits of separating with a smile and how divorce can be good, using Nintendo devices for reconciliation, and staying married because it’s easier than filling out all the forms. So if you had to split, what would be the reason?

How do you encourage tiny people to love their bodies? How do you remain fond of yours when it’s collapsing? Plus: why the increasing grotesqueness of Joe and Matt sickens midlife gun-pumper Noel, and whether body paint actually tastes better on toast.

It's the biggie: the end-of-season finale tackles the questions we all want to avoid - where do babies come from? What's this called? Why haven't I got one of those? The male and female panels give their take on educating small people, deflecting through ignorance, and the female equivalent of the word 'willie'.

Is it OK to watch porn? Can it ever be a social activity or is it a strictly solo endeavour? And what on earth is cake-farting?
