    Connie, Steve and Chris come together – in person, this time, for the first time in six months – to hear Steve’s top five tips from the Pass It On books, pick out their favourite moments from series one, and release some previously unheard footage from the recording of the first episode.

    We’ve so loved having you join us! If you’ve enjoyed this odd little podcast, remember you can still buy the books it’s based on, packed with thousands of ingenious, fascinating and occasionally bonkers tips from housewives in Scotland in the 1950s and beyond.

    It’s the penultimate episode of Pass It On, but there’s no end of weird and wonderful tips from the 50s to discuss. Why, for example, would you need to know the best technique to post a chicken?

  • Baking Pt. 2

    It’s the second part to Steve’s baking tips extravaganza, but he’s left with egg on his face (rather than in the bowl), and Connie and Chris spend far too long thinking about eating condensed milk straight from the can.
