WE'RE BACK! It's Kipper's 15th birthday and to celebrate Mum and Stacey are talking all about BIRTHDAYS.  Mum tells us about some of the worst birthday presents you can buy - including talking toilet paper and happy screwdrivers.  Stacey reveals some strange birthday customs from around the world and wonders how some animals celebrate their birthday.  Mum recalls the time she became a mobile hairdresser, and talks about some very unorthodox ways of wrapping presents.  Stacey's unrelated news involves a kitten on a rampage.  Kipper and his cousin Spike are on the line; and Carla and Zoe from Number One Rerun drive by to say "HELLO". Jingles and music are by Stacey and Owen Frost.    Find us on Twitter on @RoughGiraffePod, and Instagram @RoughGiraffePodcast.  Email us at [email protected]   Rough Giraffe is a co-founder and proud member of Brit Pod Scene.  This is a network highlighting independent British podcasts. www.britpodscene.com. Come join the discussion on Facebook.

Here's part two of the 2 Year Anniversary Spectacular!    In this episode we hear from Carla (again) and Zoe from Number One Rerun.  They have a tricky Guess Who Isn't Coming To Dinner, which Zoe is NOT on board with.     Sean and Eric from In Poor Taste Podcast bring their podcats along to ask Kipper an important question about food.  And they ask the question on everybody's lips - WHERE IS BELLE THE LOVELY DOG?   Emma, Michelle, and Jo (Mouse and Weens) pop by to say hello.  We find out why Mum moved to Spain in the process.  And a shout out goes to @Gunnware on Instagram.   Giles from The Filmmaker's Podcast has ANOTHER Guess Who Isn't Coming To Dinner, and decides to rewrite the much loved theme tune.  Unfortunately, he may not understand the rules.   The Would You Rather questions were taken from the book by Clint Hammerstrike.  Find it here https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1549535730/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i9   If you want more content and bonus features, subscribe on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/RoughGiraffe.  This week we have extra bits from this episode, as well as outtakes.   Jingles and music are by Stacey and Owen Frost.    Find us on Twitter on @RoughGiraffePod, Instagram @RoughGiraffePodcast, and Facebook (search for Rough Giraffe).  Email us at [email protected]   Rough Giraffe is a co-founder and proud member of Brit Pod Scene.  This is a network and podcast highlighting independent British podcasts. www.britpodscene.com. Come join the discussion on Facebook.

Happy Birthday To Us!  We're celebrating our 2 year anniversary and lots of our favourite podcasters have popped by to say hello! Mum, Stacey and Kipper are all together in Spain. IT means things are just a little crazier than usual.   Find out if Mum would prefer to squeeze spots full of cheese or slugs.  And would she want a tiny head or a giant one?  Depends what type of hat you want wear.   The first guests are Harlo and Colly of Theme Park Films Podcast, and they're joined by their Cabana Boy, Will, of Hey Down In Front Podcast. Next to say howdy is the lovely Chris from the More Gooder Than Podcast.  He has a message for Mum in Spanish, and he really has some nice things to say.  Mum gets a little distracted by his voice though. Dave and Sophie of the podcast, Not For The Dinner Table, have a Guess Who Isn't Coming To Dinner.  Can Mum guess who the dead person they're describing is?  What sort of bubble bath does that dead person use?  And why does David hate Will Young? Next to drive by are Lisa and Sam of I Shake My Head With Lisa and Sam.  They have questions for Kipper and Mum.  Why do cats eat grass?  Only Kipper has the answer. Flying in for a quick hello is Suzy of The Casual Birder Podcast.  But where is she calling from?  And how did she get that bird to sing so well for the recording? The guys from Interrupted Tales have found a photo of Kipper in space with Richard Nixon.  Who knew Kipper was a real astronaut?  Why has Mum joined Grindr? And what happens when Mum finds out Stacey has been working for Rob and Alan on Parasitecology without telling her? Look out for Part Two next week!   The Would You Rather questions were taken from the book by Clint Hammerstrike.  Find it here https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1549535730/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i9   If you want more content and bonus features, subscribe on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/RoughGiraffe.  This week we have extra bits from this episode, as well as outtakes.   Jingles and music are by Stacey and Owen Frost.    Find us on Twitter on @RoughGiraffePod, Instagram @RoughGiraffePodcast, and Facebook (search for Rough Giraffe).  Email us at [email protected]   Rough Giraffe is a co-founder and proud member of Brit Pod Scene.  This is a network and podcast highlighting independent British podcasts. www.britpodscene.com. Come join the discussion on Facebook.

You don't have to be MAD to work here...but it helps!  In this episode Mum and Stacey explore the history of psychology and psychiatry, including myths and misunderstandings.  Mum talks about hysteria and the rather stimulating treatments used to cure women of this wildly over-diagnosed ailment.  Mum also tells us about the goddess Mania, who was rather partial to a bit of rabies.  Stacey is caught up in the phenomenon of mass hysteria; and is lost in the world of hypnosis. Stacey also describes the process of the lobotomy, not one for the faint hearted.  We have a Guess Who Isn't Coming To Dinner that will get you in a right spin!   Thank you to Bridget for asking Kipper a question.  Why do cat's suddenly turn on you when you fuss them?  Find out from the Wonky Podcat himself.   Jingles and music are by Stacey and Owen Frost.     Support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/RoughGiraffe   Find us on Twitter on @RoughGiraffePod, Instagram @RoughGiraffePodcast, and Facebook (search for Rough Giraffe).  Email us at [email protected]   Rough Giraffe is a co-founder and proud member of Brit Pod Scene.  This is a network and podcast highlighting independent British podcasts. www.britpodscene.com. Come join the discussion on Facebook.

Here is a re-release of our very first episode.  Mum has re-edited it to take out some of the bits that were very of the time (how things can change in just 2 years).  See how far we've come!
