Scummy Mummies - Podcast

Our guest for this episode is the brilliant comedian Cariad Lloyd! We talk about her award-winning podcast, Griefcast, and why she decided to stop making it after seven years. We discuss helping a friend through grief - is it ever too late to offer support? What's the best way to handle tricky times like Mother's Day? And why is death sometimes so bloody funny? Cariad shares what it was like to have a baby four days into the first lockdown, and why she's moved into writing children's books. We talk about her fantastic picture book, Where Did She Go?, and festive adventure Lydia Marmalade and the Christmas Wish. They're both out now. There's also some chat about Austentatious, the Jane Austen improv show Cariad appears in. And Helen tells us a thing about audiobooks that blows our minds. As always we finish with Scummy Mummy Confessions - this time involving an unrelaxing bath, a feral child, and Ellie's husband's worst birthday ever. For more from Cariad visit
