Mel and Sue are Back for A Second Season of Their Hit Podcast 

Exploring life's unanswered questions

Following the success of the first series, comedians Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins return with their podcast Mel & Sue: Should Know By Now, tackling life’s biggest (and often silliest) unanswered questions.

Best known as a duo from Light Lunch and The Great British Bake Off, as well as for their individual work - including Giedroyc’s recent appearance on Last One Laughing and Perkins’ role on Just a Minute - the pair bring both comedy and a lifelong friendship to the podcast. 

In the series, they ask each other the questions they feel they should know the answers to, but don’t, from everyday dilemmas to gaps in their general knowledge. 

Episodes range from how often you should really be changing your bedsheets and what all the buttons on your oven actually do, to the art of making a complaint. They also venture into tarot readings and ghosts, as well as the science behind making cheese, all shared with personal anecdotes and humour.
