We're still in Edinburgh on Stay Hydrated and on this episode we're joined by podcasters, broadcasters, boundary-breakers and all-round legends — it’s Poppy Jay and Rubina Pabani from Brown Girls Do It Too!

Poppy and Rubina aren't just the "funniest women in Britain" (according to The Times) and the creators of the multi-award winning BBC Sounds podcast Brown Girls Do It Too... they've also created the hilarious and hard-hitting show "Mama Told Me Not To Come" which played in Edinburgh, and is at Soho Theatre Walthamstow from the 9th-13th September 2025!

On this episode of Stay Hydrated, Chris, Lizzie, Poppy and Rubina getting into everything from sex and shame to breaking taboos, the joys of saying the unsayable and why talking about pleasure can be radical. They chat about family expectations, cultural clashes, dating disasters and how comedy helps them process the chaos.

The girls also open up about the whirlwind success of Brown Girls Do It Too, the responsibility of representing British Asian women in the media and the importance of making people laugh and think at the same time.

Expect honesty, hilarity, and maybe a little oversharing... just the way we like it.

We're joined by another icon on this episode of Stay Hydrated! YouTube royalty, podcasting legend, author, comedian, all-round internet icon (and our internet friend/sister/mother)... it's Grace Helbig!

Grace has been posting on YouTube since 2006 where she has over 300M views and 2.6M subscribers. She co-hosts the podcast This Might Get Weird with Mamrie Hart. This episode was recorded in Edinburgh, where Grace performed her sold-out one woman show Let Me Get This Off My Chest.

On this episode of Stay Hydrated, Chris, Lizzie and Grace talk about the golden days of YouTube, the surreal experience of going viral, and why internet fame is both a blessing and a curse. They also talk about the art of oversharing and the strange comfort of embarrassing yourself online for millions of people to see.

This episode also contains conversation about Grace's cancer diagnosis (trigger warning) and the work she is trying to do to de-stigmatise conversations about the big C.

Boo! You weren't expecting us were you! We have a special bonus episode of Stay Hydrated from Edinburgh Fringe and it's just your favourite siblings — Chris and Lizzie! No guest, no filter, just pure Hall family chaos.

They get into everything from Lizzie’s traumatic trip to the dentist to Chris’ theory that he's a “hot guy with bad luck”. They also talk about nights out that end in McDonald’s and why it’s time to bring back the WKD Blue era.

There's chat about the politics of group chats, Eurovision drama, and whether friendship bracelets should be legally binding.

We'll be back next Tuesday with a brand new guest episode. Don't forget to subscribe to never miss an episode!
