8. Katherine Ryan and Daniel Foxx

Available for over a year

Laura Smyth speaks to celebrity guests to find out about the mothers who made them. This week Laura is joined by comedians Katherine Ryan and Daniel Foxx, whose big-personality mums gave them the priceless gift of audacity. We hear about Katherine’s mum driving like she stole it, explore the fine line between duty and drama, and ask what your nativity role says about you. Laura and her guests discuss first-born daughter theory, gay son theory, diets and the changing pressures placed on women, and wonder whether oversharing might actually be a family tradition.
