Is there such a thing as a "maths brain"? How do you help a child who's struggling with numbers? And why should you never tell a kid they're clever? Here to answer all these questions is the legendary Bobby Seagull!


He tells us how he gave up a career in the city to become a teacher, and ended up going viral after an appearance on University Challenge. We discuss Bobby's dating life, and how he explained it to his mum using a PowerPoint presentation. Ellie attempts a Keir Starmer impression, Helen reveals how she embarrassed herself in front of a hot young man, and we invent a new catchphrase for Britain. Plus: a maths rap and a quiz!


Bobby's books, The Life-Changing Magic of Numbers and The Monkman and Seagull Quiz Book, are out now. Follow Bobby on social media for more Seagull magic or visit bobbyseagull.com.
