Peppa Pig
Season 3, Ep. 1
•
The Thots are back baybeeeee!
This week we're tackling the cultural JUGGERNAUT that is Peppa Pig.
We're covering everything from gender politics and communism to accents and health and safety concerns.
We're also welcoming back much-missed the Common Sense Media section!
Love her or hate her, this little piggy controls the entire market and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
Happy new year everyone,
Laura/Meg/Elsie xoxo

01:21:34|We have decided to release a cheeky bonus episode from our Patreon because we were feeling frivolous (and some of you even contributed to it)!We talk Meg’s anger, Elsie's fear of death, Laura's favourite Easter assembly song, and answer a few of your questions.Thank you so much for everyone's contributions for this episode - as always, it allowed us to go on many pointless tangents.4. Horrid Henry
01:38:16||Season 4, Ep. 4Na Na Nee Na Naaaa!!! It's everyone's favourite toxic parenting team and their devil spawn. This week we're talking about Horrid Henry! It's a surprisingly big topic... we cover the touchy subjects of book adaptation, bad parenting, bad teachers, and even shipping. Yes, we said shipping. Enjoy!3. Hi-5
01:46:32||Season 4, Ep. 3Hi, I'm Laura! Hi, I'm Meg! Hi, I'm Elsie! And together, we're talking about HI 5 BABYYYYYY!!! Not to be weird about it but we enjoyed this one so much that we carried on watching it even after we finished making the episode. It took physical restraint to keep your humble editor from adding more clips - so we definitely recommend seeking the show out for yourself! This is a long(er) episode due to us loving the subject material to pieces - we make no apologies.Tangents include Meg's Asda meats, varying tooth-brushing techniques, and an impromptu hymn. Much of the information in this episode was learned from a cast member interview on Carey Stinson's Purple Road podcast which is available on YouTube - give it a listen :) As always, thank you and enjoy the show!2. Funnybones
01:28:19||Season 4, Ep. 2On a dark dark hill there was a dark dark town and in the dark dark town there was a etc etc...It's a xylophone-heavy episode this week as we're talking all things Funnybones!It's about time we discussed Allan and Janet Ahlberg's gorgeous works of children's fiction, and so we experienced some big nostalgic feelings this week.Other topics include the terrible plumbing in our flat, fleshy appendages, and the mechanics of sound.Good idea!CW: As this is a show about skeletons, we will be discussing death, decay, funerals, and bodies.1. Dora the Explorer

Rugrats
01:32:07||Season 3, Ep. 12"My tax deductions are CRYING!"We're rounding off season three with an episode voted for by YOU the listeners! You wanted Rugrats, and we delivered.We have found that it's a lot more difficult to create fun """content""" about a show that's genuinely perfect, but we've certainly given it a go. As the last episode before our Summer break, it has been a delight to watch and discuss - thank you for voting correctly!!!We also hear a little bit from Laura about her MS diagnosis, and she has tried to answer some of your questions.We continue to be overwhelmed by your constant support of the podcast - thank you so much! Over the next few weeks, we'll be around on social media as always to chat all things kids' TV, you can't get rid of us that easily...Thank you so much for listening to series three, and have a beautiful Summer!Our (and some of your) Unpopular Opinions [BONUS EP TEASER]

We also have comments about their hair.To me to you, indeed.
