Known for off-kilter anecdotes and unfiltered stand-up, friends HARRIET DYER (LIVE AT THE APOLLO, 8 OUT OF 10 CATS DOES COUNTDOWN), LINDSEY SANTORO (LIVE AT THE APOLLO, R4) and AMY MASON (R1, 25+ million views TikTok), launch new podcast SOCIAL MOTHS, exploring the struggle to socialise in 2026. 


Truly relatable, genuine, and utterly distinctive, Harriet, Lindsey and Amy face their own uphill battles to get out of house. From lone parenting to bipolar disorder, ADHD to phone addiction, SOCIAL MOTHS touches on the reasons so many of us spend way too much time at home alone.Launching 1st Feb 2026

Harriet Dyer says: ‘I love these women and it’s a joy to spend time with them both’ Lindsey Santoro says: ‘Honestly we are having an absolute hoot. And getting out the house’ Amy Mason says ‘I’m delighted to making something with two of the funniest women in the world. Listeners are in for a treat’. 

Each episode contains listener dilemmas gathered via socials and email, and updates on their own attempts to socialise. There are also challenges they set themselves weekly – whether go for coffee with an old friend, or finally face out GPs receptionist and book that smear test. As the podcast progresses, they make real progress, and face setbacks, that are always funny and sometimes pretty moving. 


You can follow the trio’s podcast adventures here. Episodes air weekly on all platforms – including YouTube – and launch 1st Feb.
