Kiri tells us about when her mum hid from the police in the Welsh mountains (with her newborn baby), tackled an entire rugby team to save her husband, and picked Kiri up from school with a smelly surprise in the boot of the car. Olga shares what happened to her family with the collapse of the Soviet Union, how her mum's life changed dramatically overnight, and what uniquely Russian punishments were used to keep her in check.

In this series, Laura Smyth sits down with some incredible guests to find out about their mums and explore the many faces of ‘motherhood’. Join her for a nostalgic, shameless, cathartic ride that asks what (if anything) our folks have taught us.
