Summary

Our guest this time round is Guardian columnist Suzanne, who tells us all about how to be a good mother, what makes a feminist, and the best way to raise teenagers without going bonkers. This episode was recorded in a yurt at Camp Bestival, just after Suzanne delivered a talk on feminism - so there's lots of chat about why we still need it, and some advice on dealing with sexists. Plus we discuss Kate Moss, mum friends, shoes, what it's like to have children in three different decades, and why Suzanne would always pick a packet of Monster Munch over pureed carrots. Here's Suzanne's article on How to Be a Good Mother, if you'd like to have a read, and here's the one about Kate Moss and Easyjet. She's on Twitter @suzanne_moore.Come and see us LIVE - we're performing our GREATEST HITS show at the Amersham Arms, New Cross on Saturday 19 September, at 7.30pm.
