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.

She's a comedy sensation, a cosmic empath and a healer... the fabulous Myra Dubois is our guest on this episode of Stay Hydrated!

On this episode of Stay Hydrated, Chris, Lizzie and Myra dive into everything from wedding music preferences (string quartets = Titanic vibes) to the art of hotel breakfast buffets.

Myra also opens up about her unique relationship with show business (she's literally married to it), her theory about being a vessel for ancient extraterrestrial energy and her upcoming UK and Ireland tour where she's switching things up to focus on herself for once.

Plus, Myra demonstrates her legendary crowd work philosophy, hands out "betterment badges," and shares some questionable northern wisdom from her late grandmother involving weasels and jam.

Catch Myra on her brand-new "Cosmic Empath" tour across the UK and Ireland this Autumn - it's going to be out of this world (literally)!

We're thrilled to be joined to be joined by comedian, TV favourite, and all-round good time gal - it’s Stephen Bailey!

On this episode of Stay Hydrated, Chris, Lizzie and Stephen get into it all: from underage park drinking and the glory days of WKD, to his house renovation nightmares and why builders never live up to their gay porn reputations.

They also talk about growing up with Lindsay Lohan as a style icon, their obsession with S Club 7 and Charmed, and the joys (and grumpiness) of approaching forty.

Stephen opens up about life on tour, balancing dirty jokes with mature material, and what it really feels like to finally embrace his inner "bitter old bitch".

Catch Stephen on his brand-new tour Tart, coming to theatres across the UK this year!
