2. Josh Jones and Jen Brister

Your Mum

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 Josh Jones and Jen Brister, whose mothers sure knew how to stand up for themselves (and everyone else in the neighbourhood). We learn about Josh’s mum’s tactical use of a leather jacket, and find out what made Jen’s mum go viral. Both mums teach us the power of self-acceptance, the use of garlic, and having a sit down curry on Christmas day. Producer: Sasha Bobak Assistant Producer: Eve Delaney Executive Producer: Pete Strauss Production Co-ordinator: Asha Osborne-Grinter A BBC Studios Production for Radio 4.
