The wheels are falling off under the strain of All The Things. This week Bec and Jane are jaded, smelly and barely able to form a sentence let alone present a well-structured podcast. This week's Breeder's Digest is an intriguing look into the minds of two mothers on the edge. Join them as they garble their way through:
- A harrowing tale of a child and husband abandoned in a supermarket carpark
- The cute/weird nicknames we give our little humans while they're still in utero
- Bec's attempt to shove an entire* easter egg into her gob
- The secret behind the mystery siren George keeps activating on Bec's phone
