Episode 70: Poetry Special with Hollie McNish

We are 70! And to celebrate, here's a bumper episode with hilarious poet Hollie McNish! We discuss hot topics such as whether motherhood boosts creativity, and sexual tension in Bob the Builder. Hollie tells us about her experience of being a younger mum, and why she thinks party poppers should be available on the NHS. She performs her brilliant poem Embarrassed, which is all about breastfeeding, and we have a little cry. Helen and Ellie do some poetry of their own, and there is some more crying for different reasons. Hollie's book, Nobody Told Me, is out now. Her website is holliepoetry.com and she's on Twitter @holliepoetry.We're on Twitter (@scummymummies), Instagram, and Facebook.
