Welcome to TV Mum, a weekly podcast starring Brendon Green and his Mum, Dianne. Every week Brendon will try and get Dianne to remember the details of a TV show she’s recently watched. The resulting discussion is a journey through Dianne’s shaky memory and never ends up where you’d expect.

This week on TV Mum Brendon is very enthusiastic about Mr Robot, the critically acclaimed drama about hackers and cyber security. His mission: convince a very technologically illiterate Dianne to watch a show about computers. Can Brendon do it? Have a listen below, or download here on iTunes, or here on Stitcher:
