Girls Overheard
Hosted by Girls Overheard
Three Scottish friends and mothers chat about daily life, celebrity gossip, and viral internet trends.
A weekly catch-up between three friends that blends personal stories about motherhood and life in Glasgow with reactions to UK pop culture, from Love Island to viral TikToks. The conversation is unfiltered and relatable, often touching on topics like grocery shopping, nostalgic snacks, and the absurdities of online trends. [lKZMHKLRjvo] It's a lighthearted, conversational show that feels like listening in on a private group chat.
“The podcast's strength is the authentic chemistry between the three Scottish hosts, whose shared history and humor ground the show. It stands out for its blend of mundane, everyday relatability (like comparing grocery stores) with distinctly UK-centric pop culture commentary, all delivered with a Glasgow accent and perspective. [lKZMHKLRjvo]”
Who hosts this show
Girls Overheard features Glasgow-based hosts Ash Reid, Eilidh Wells, and Lauren Fairbairn. The trio, who have seven children between them, started the podcast to create a space that felt like having a coffee and a chat with friends, aiming to combat the loneliness some parents feel. Ash Reid, also known as "Mama Reid," was a parenting and lifestyle blogger and YouTuber before the podcast, having left a career as a business analyst to focus on social media full-time. The podcast evolved from their previous show, "The Good Motherhood."
