Mel Giedroyc & Sue Perkins Reunite For Audible Podcast ‘Mel & Sue Should Know By Now’

EXCLUSIVE: Comedy duo Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins are reuniting as presenters for the first time in nine years with Audible podcast Mel & Sue Should Know by Now.

Well known in the UK for their long-term comic partnership and presenting stints on Light Lunch, The Great British Bake Off and BBC’s Comic Relief, the real life best friends are back for a show that aims to “tackle the things they really should know by now”. 

In each episode “they will take turns to explain something that they still don’t know (but absolutely, as adults, should). Things that would be too embarrassing to ask anyone to explain – except a best friend. As they struggle to fill in each other’s self-confessed blind spots, they share hilarious anecdotes and surprising revelations about their lives, history and friendship.

“From the science of bread-making (seriously, what is yeast?) to the mysteries of kink (overwhelmingly mysterious to Mel, anyway) and the unspoken rules of packing holiday underwear (is there a golden ratio?), no topic is off-limits.”

Mel Giedroyc said: “Thirty-seven years of friendship and the old girl can still make me literally wheeze my lungs up with laughter. I have not had so much fun in ages!” 

Sue Perkins added: “I was crying with hysteria and eating crisps throughout. To be honest, I’m still not over the Guinea Pig story…”
