Maura Higgins Doesn’t Need a Man & Claire’s Accessories is Closing

Laura and Carmen are obsessed with Maura Higgins declaring she doesn’t need a man - sparking a conversation about single life, social pressure and why being on your own is infinitely better than being in the wrong relationship.Also, the pair dive into the strange horror of getting older but somehow feeling 11 again, from mysterious BO and sweaty school-chair shame to the emotional rollercoaster of realising Claire’s Accessories might actually be disappearing from the high street.Meanwhile, Laura opens up about her daughter Bonnie growing up too fast after a traumatising shopping trip into the world of Bershka, Stradivarius and suspiciously grown-up tween fashion.Plus, there’s bank holiday chat, a passionate defence of caravan holidays, and the important question of why Rachel Reeves seems to love a caravan break while everyone else panics she’s about to make them more expensive.Follow Shouldn’t Laugh But on all social platforms: @shouldntlaughpodLaura - @thatlaurasmythCarmen - @carmenshouldntlaughShouldn’t Laugh But… is a Global ProductionListen every Tuesday & Friday or watch us on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts
