2. Jess Fostekew and Bobby Mair

Jess tells us about getting busted in her secondary school ‘orgy’, her mum’s strong opinions on condoms and why her mum firmly believes her grandson is Mozart. Bobby shares some of his adopted mum’s wildest fibs and outrageous ploys, before telling the unbelievable account of how he discovered his birth mother and what happened when she passed away.

In this series, Laura Smyth sits down with some incredible guests to find out about their mums and explore the many faces of ‘motherhood’. Join her for a nostalgic, shameless, cathartic ride that asks what (if anything) our folks have taught us.
