This month Miranda is joined by the Guardian's business reporter, Jill Treanor and by Karen Mattison, the co-founder of Women Like Us, a company specialising in part-time recruitment, aimed particularly at working mothers.
If you're a mum contemplating a business trip away, would some 'tips' from the US company AXA – among them: recording a bedtime story for your children and leaving "I love you" notes dotted around the house — be a help or just plain offensive? Was Harriet Harman right to say that "to be a mother is to feel guilty"?
Miranda speaks to American author Roger Rosenblatt, whose touching new book Making Toast tells how he and his wife reacted to the death of their adult daughter by moving in with their bereaved son-in-law and their three grandchildren.
Plus movie producer and director Stephen Woolley gives us his Family Playlist. He tells Miranda how his current film, Made in Dagenham, reminds him of the women he grew up with – including the strongest person he ever knew: his foul-mouthed nan.
