Ruthie - Me And My Dad

In the annual contest between Santa and Jesus, Ruth votes for Santa. Also this week, father and daughter discuss Raheemgate, and Ruth offers little hope for the death of racism, Ruth reveals what 'boils her blood,' namely two-nation Britain, and unpaid internships, and opts for the Legally Blonde route for women to get their voices heard. She also asks why we aren't rioting in the streets like the French?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the second episode of the new series of Ruthie Me and My Dad, father and daughter discuss Japanese Zombie ships, the hash browns in Subway ('It's potato, in't it," says Ruth), and Holly Willoughby's performance on I'm A Celebrity, while Dad has an interesting and totally unsupported theory about the rats used in the bushtucker trials. Less seriously, the legalising of prostitution, drugs, and censorship also come under the microscope. Musically, it's Fiona Apple with a Beatles cover versus young Londoners Babeheaven.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In episode 1 of the second season of Ruthie Me and My Dad, father and daughter discuss the shocking return of blackface, education, library closures, and parents who can't parent because they're too occupied with their smartphones. Also, we ask if Seinfeld still holds up after 20 years, and if shamed comic Louis CK should be allowed to return, during which discussion Ruthie accidentally kills off Kevin Spacey. Musically, Dad plays The Byrds and daughter counters with Childish Gambino.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this week's episode, Ruth, newly 18, says she's now looking forward to voting and drinking alcohol legally, but not too much of it, because her generation are the new puritans. Father and daughter are mystified by the runaway success of YouTuber Zoella, while Ruth reveals the latest favourite of her group of friends; Mukbangs, footage of people eating. Ruth is not in favour of misogyny being taken off the list of hate crimes, and surprisingly is also against Jodie Whittaker as Dr Who, and remakes of old films like Ghostbusters with female leads. She also asks if classic books like Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita would have a chance of being published these days. Musically, it's Andy Gibb versus Rina Sawayama.If you enjoy 'Ruthie - Me & My Dad', then we'd be pathetically grateful if you could leave a review on iTunes here; https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/ruthie-me-and-my-dad/id1350367213?mt=2 If you REALLY like us, be sure to subscribe and never miss an episode, and tell your friends.Y

In the latest episode of the father and daughter podcast, Ruthie says she's 'not feeling it,' but she's not too tired to suggest a new weekly feature called simply 'Dad's Wrong.' This week, Brazilian butt lifts, stem cell research, Sunday night TV, air conditioning as a feminist issue, and what constitutes a sandwich come under the microscope. "More Morgan Freeman, less Piers Morgan," is the latest advice on talking to teenagers, not entirely wholeheartedly endorsed by Ruthie and father, and musically it's a battle between Cardi B and Steely Dan. If you enjoy 'Ruthie - Me & My Dad', then we'd be pathetically grateful if you could leave a review on iTunes here; https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/ruthie-me-and-my-dad/id1350367213?mt=2 If you REALLY like us, be sure to subscribe and never miss an episode, and tell your friends.You can get in touch with the show via email here; martinandruthpodcast@gmail.comMartin’s on Twitter at @martinkelner, or if you prefer Facebook he’s here; https://www.

As comedian Louis CK returns to the stage we ask if it's OK in the age of MeToo to enjoy not just his comedy, but some of the fine films produced by Harvey Weinstein, and the work of Woody Allen and Kevin Spacey. We salute Kim Kardashian for catching up on the Serial podcast four years after the rest of the world, sum up Australia in a sentence, look back on fine music and four days of squalor at Leeds Fest, father and daughter disagree strongly on La La Land and Dirty Dancing, and as Martin racks his memory for an amusing anecdote about rejection, Ruth says, "Perhaps you're just not that amusing..."  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The latest father-and-daughter conversation covers fat shaming, and Britain's harmful food obsession. On the question of the French government's ban on a Gap advert featuring girls in hijabs, Ruth asks the key question, "Who shops at Gap any more?" Also, Love Island winners and losers, where are they now? False memory syndrome, we've all got it, and Made In Chelsea - "brilliant but ridiculous" is Ruth's verdict. Musically, it's Aretha Franklin versus J Hus, and having dissed Fawlty Towers last week, Ruth turns her attention to Monty Python: "What are they doing? Why are they all running around and stuff?"   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, Ruthie's festival diet; crisps, pot noodles, and crackers, the enduring appeal of the sitcom Friends - about which father and daughter disagree - and a blast at Fawlty Towers, a fascinating conspiracy theory about DNA testing, the continuing anti-semitism debate, why we all hanker to be born in a different era, and musically, the ska of Dandy Livingstone versus the indy boy band The Front Bottoms (it's their name!).   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
