| 10/19/20 | Series One Finale | Connie, Steve and Chris come together – in person, this time, for the first time in six months – to hear Steve’s top five tips from the Pass It On books, pick out their favourite moments from series one, and release some previously unheard footage from the recording of the first episode. We’ve so loved having you join us! If you’ve enjoyed this odd little podcast, remember you can still buy the books it’s based on, packed with thousands of ingenious, fascinating and occasionally bonkers tips from housewives in Scotland in the 1950s and beyond.

| 7/17/20 | Meat & Fish | It’s the penultimate episode of Pass It On, but there’s no end of weird and wonderful tips from the 50s to discuss. Why, for example, would you need to know the best technique to post a chicken? | 28m 22s | ||||||
| 5/29/20 | Baking Pt. 2 | It’s the second part to Steve’s baking tips extravaganza, but he’s left with egg on his face (rather than in the bowl), and Connie and Chris spend far too long thinking about eating condensed milk straight from the can. We’ve extended the discount code – which gives you 20% off the Pass It On books at dcthomsonshop.co.uk just by entering ‘darning’ at checkout – to 30 June 2020. You can help us make a case for a second series by buying the books and telling your friends to listen to season one of this podcast; book sales and downloads of the podcast help us prove that our kind, interesting little experiment is loved and wanted – and isn’t that all anybody wants? | 28m 03s | ||||||
| 5/11/20 | Baking Pt. 1 | Steve comes over all Mary Berry in this episode, as he shares tips from Sunday Post readers all about baking. And we discover Connie’s horror of cinnamon. We’re nearly at the end of our first year of publishing these podcasts, and when we hit our 52nd episode, we’ll be mothballing it for a little while – we think the fifties housewives would approve!

| 5/1/20 | Keeping the kids occupied | Steve shares tips from the 50s on keeping kids occupied – and to Connie and Chris’s delight, they’re brilliant! We’re nearly at the end of our first year of publishing these podcasts, and when we hit our last episode in Spring of 2020, we’ll be mothballing it for a little while – we think the fifties housewives would approve!

| 4/15/20 | Knitting 2.0 | With lots of folks taking up knitting and other crafts at home, Steve thought it was time we took another stab – not literally – at knitting tips from the Pass It On books. We’re nearly at the end of our first year of publishing these podcasts, and when we hit our last episode towards the end of May 2020, we’ll be mothballing it for a little while – we think the fifties housewives would approve!

| 4/6/20 | Cleaning tips | Once again recording from our respective – and respectable – homes, we thought we’d dig into some cleaning tips from the 50s, since we’re all frantically swabbing every available surface.

| 3/27/20 | We’re still here! | The last time Connie, Steve and Chris were together, we promised you that the next episode would be filled with sewing tips. But then again, the last time we were all together, the world was in a very different place. And now so are we, literally; this episode was recorded from Connie, Steve and Chris’s respective homes, and while we do get to some sewing tips, first, we took the chance to chat and catch up with each other.

| 3/19/20 | Helpful tips for working from home, with Glenn Fleishman | In this unusual episode for these unusual times, Chris is joined from Seattle by Glenn Fleishman, whose response to the current disruption has been to write and release a free book to help anyone who finds themselves working from home for the first time. Glenn shares the tips he’s learned over years of home working, as well as the expertise from his network of friends and colleagues; we’re sharing them here in case they‘re useful to you or your friends and family.

| 2/5/20 | The Future Pt. 3 | It’s the last of the three-parter on The Sunday Post’s 1960 vision of the future, but what did the gang spend most of their time talking about? The pools. If you know what the pools are, you’ll share Steve’s bemusement and frustration, and if you don’t, well, just press play!

| 1/22/20 | The Future Pt. 1 | In the first copy of The Sunday Post published in 1960, its journalists wrote about what they thought the next decade would bring. It’s fertile ground for intergenerational japes and discovery from Connie, Steve and Chris, but we’re not sure we could have predicted that it would have been the catalyst for finding out how recently Connie discovered where Fife was – hint: we can see it from the room we recorded in.

| 1/15/20 | Painting and decorating Pt. 2 | In this episode, Steve presents Connie and Chris with another list of – he says – sure-fire painting and decorating tips from the readers of The Sunday Post in the 1950s.

Plus, Steve reveals his favourite thing about paint, and if that’s not going to get you excitedly listening, we’re out of ideas.

| 12/11/19 | Clean Mama special episode | We’re thrilled to welcome Becky – the person behind the cleaning phenomenon that is Clean Mama – to the podcast for this very special episode, not least because Becky actually knows what she’s talking about! Connie, Steve and Chris put some of the Pass It On cleaning tips to Becky for her verdict, and discover to their delight that she’s doing exactly the same kind of inventive work in the US, with a simple store cupboard of ingredients, that the Pass It On housewives were doing in Scotland in the 1950s!

| 12/3/19 | Nylons | The gang are talking nylons in today’s episode – stockings that make a certain type of man blush, and which were such a feature of American GIs’ time in the UK.
