Want to know more about how Mumsnet came about and some of the dramas along the way? Here's a podcast I did...

[JustineMumsnet]

Just in case anyone's interested I did this Secret Leaders podcast about Mumsnet's journey - how we started and some of the ups and downs along the way. It's quite long (38 minutes) so no judgement if you don’t make it all the way to the end! player.fm/series/secret-leaders/justine-roberts-creating-mumsnet-and-saving-parents-lives

@TanteRose

Just listened! It was really good

Thank you Tante. Yes at my age any little trick to increase acuity is to be wholeheartedly embraced .

I just listened. Very engaging, & really interesting - thanks to both you & interviewer bloke Disappointed though that you didn't mention babies being strapped to rockets. Is there still a risk SWMNBN could come after you?

(being much much older than Justine & needing even more help with acuity...)

I really enjoyed it, really interesting and also it reminded me how long I’ve been round

I enjoyed it too and I had a chuckle at some of the things I'd forgotten. It's good to hear that you're still one of us Justine.

Did you think I'd joined the Moonies ?

Really enjoyed that.

What strikes me is that when I started using MN in 2004 I would never have admitted it. Now I would and sometimes do. I kind of miss the days when it was a secret club. But it had to grow or die and I'm glad it grew
