Podcast appearances and mentions of Justine Roberts

Justine Roberts is the founder and CEO of Mumsnet, the UK's largest online network for parents—and a surprising powerhouse in British political life. Since its launch in 2000, Mumsnet has grown from a niche forum into a digital force capable of shaping public debate, influencing party manifestos, and unnerving prime ministers. Politicians from across the spectrum have courted its users, recognising the site's unique reach into the hearts—and voting intentions—of middle Britain. Often underestimated, always influential, Justine Roberts has carved out a space where motherhood meets activism—and where difficult questions are the norm.

Hi everyone, and welcome! In this podcast, we're joined by Justine Roberts.This recording follows a recent session she had with Steve, where they ran out of time before fully resolving a particular memory. In the days that followed, Justine took time to sit with the unresolved part, creating space to explore the barriers that still needed to be confronted. In that moment, Jesus met her with a beautiful word and picture—one that continues to work its way through her heart and mind.This is so important because we don't want people to become dependent on us to facilitate every encounter with Jesus. Instead, we want to equip them to face the dark places where only the Lord can bring His transformational, experiential truth.CrossCounsel WebsiteCrossCounsel on Facebook

Justine Roberts is not happy. Earlier this year she discovered that tech giant OpenAI has been scraping Mumsnet—the successful website of which she is CEO—for content. AI machines, like ChatGPT, train their Large Language Models (LLMs) in this way. Justine and her team have recently launched the first British legal action against OpenAI.Meanwhile, Google is fighting to overhaul UK copyright law to allow it to freely mine content for commercial gain, without compensating other publishers.Justine explains to Alan and Lionel what she hopes to achieve in her court case—one that could be just one of the first of many of its kind—and why she is so angered by what she views as an existential threat to anybody publishing content online.To watch this interview and much more, head over to YouTube and search for ‘Prospect Magazine'.

Send us an email: podcast@pensionbee.com    Having children can be one of the most wonderful and rewarding things you'll ever do, and it's impossible to put a price on all the joy that kids can bring you. However, there's no denying the impact that bringing up a family can have on your finances. Having a child can be a huge financial commitment. According to The Times, it'll take an average of nearly £203,000 to raise a child from birth to the age of 18. And it won't necessarily stop there, you might find yourself spending on your kids from before they're born until well into their adult lives. Add to that, the effects on your income that taking parental leave may bring - you might not know where to begin!  To talk through all the costs involved with having children and whether raising a family's currently affordable are our guests: CEO of Mumsnet; Justine Roberts CBE Financial Journalist and Senior Digital Editor at MoneyWeek; Kalpana Fitzpatrick PensionBee's CTO; Jonathan Lister Parsons.   Episode Breakdown:  02:12 Can you predict how much a baby will cost?  07:48 Statutory Maternity Pay 09:42 The problem with parental leave  11:56 Statutory Adoption Pay and Leave  12:46 The cost of childcare 14:58 Tax-Free Childcare Allowance 15:37 Child Benefit 20:37 Costs as your kids grow up 24:38 Paying for higher education. *We mention maternity pay in this episode and just wanted to be absolutely clear with the figures: Statutory Maternity Pay's paid up to 39 weeks You get 90% of your average weekly earnings for the first six weeks You get the lower of £172.48 or 90% of your average weekly earnings for the following 33 weeks.  *We also accidentally overstated the amount of Shared Parental Leave that you may be entitled to. We said you'd get a year, but it's actually up to 50 weeks of leave between parents.  *We state that the UK has the highest childcare costs in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Though this has been true as recently as 2022, the UK currently ranks third. However, this number's ever changing.    Further reading: For more help getting financially prepared for raising a family, check out these resources from PensionBee.

As the government announces plans for summer school and tutoring to help children catch up on their learning we hear from parents who think it’s more important to just let them go out to play with their friends. Recent polling suggests that mums in the “Red Wall” seats of the Midlands and North of England – areas which traditionally voted Labour but have switched allegiance to back the Conservatives – are against cutting short summer holidays after such a difficult year. We hear from the mums and from Deborah Mattinson from the political consultancy Britain Thinks and from Justine Roberts at Mumsnet. Throughout the course of the history of Greek mythology there have been many Greek goddesses. These goddesses tend to have exaggerated personalities and are often plagued with personal flaws and negative emotions , but do we know everything we need to know about these mythological women and what if anything can we learn from them today? Writer and classicist Natalie Haynes along with historian Bettany Hughes are talking about Greek Goddesses as part of this year’s WOW - Women of the World Festival running online from today until the 21st of March. Just last week Cara Delevigne posted a photo of her new darker brown hair on Instagram saying 'Blondes have more fun but brunettes ....' So are you like Cara embracing your darker locks? Is the nondescript colour often described as 'mouse' making a comeback bought on by lockdown three? To discuss the latest hair trends is the writer and broadcaster Sali Hughes.

Justine Roberts is an inspiring example of a woman entrepreneur. She started Mumsnet – the UKs most popular website for parents - after becoming the mother of twins. We spoke ahead of covid. It’s ironic, eerie, whatever you want to call it. We talked about the difficulties of working remotely with kids at home, and the burden of childcare on women’s careers. Little did we know all of this would become exponentially true in just a few weeks with the lockdowns. Empathy, understanding – these are key ingredients to a sustainable workforce. Covid 19 is yet another reminder we need to protect women’s positions in the workplace by enabling their career longevity and growth. Companies like Mumsnet and Roleshare - the jobshare matching site bringing part-time workers together for full-time roles - help to do that.

The U.K. Government has reinforced some coronavirus restrictions in parts of northern England. The surprise move comes just a month after the Prime Minister urged businesses to bring workers back to offices. In this special episode we explore the impact of the virus and lockdown on British families. Mumsnet founder and CEO Justine Roberts joins Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker along with Joeli Brearley, founder and CEO of the charity Pregnant Then Screwed and Professor Rainbow Murray of Queen Mary University, to discuss the impact of the pandemic on women and why the Johnson government has failed to make childcare a top priority.

This week on She Started It, I’m joined in the studio by Justine Roberts CBE, Founder of Mumsnet and Gransnet.

Loved by many and the cause of many heated discussions, Justine has created a place for open and frank conversations for a wide sector of the public. As a wife and mother of four, including twins, Justine has had the exact experience of how hard it is to be a working mum. Recognized for her impact on the economy and ultimately being awarded a CBE in 2017, the Oxford-educated ex-journalist takes time from her busy schedule to discuss all things Mumsnet and Gransnet.

Justine Roberts, co-founder of Mumsnet, on the need for more women investors, maintaining a good culture at work and the benefits of scaling slowly.

Starting a site like Mumsnet is no mean feat, which is why I loved chatting to founder Justine Roberts on this episode of the podcast about how she did it, from her back bedroom, with four young children to look after. Justine talks about how the Mumsnet forums are run and how they moderate the discussions (interestingly, she says the world isn't a fair place when I ask her how she ensures the conversations happening are fair).We also discuss the Mumsnet campaign to get better post-natal care and Justine explains why we need better care and what Mumsnet users think that should look like.

Why are there so many Chinese maths and music prodigies? Because Chinese mothers believe schoolwork and music practice come first, that an A-minus is a bad grade, that sleepovers, TV and computer games should never be allowed and that the only activity their children should be permitted to do are ones in which they can eventually win a medal - and that medal must be gold.These methods certainly seem to get results but do they make for the rounded individuals Western parents are striving to bring up? Isn't it better that our children should be happy rather than burnt-out brain boxes?

In this in-depth interview, she reveals how a disastrous family holiday led to her founding a platform which now has 10 million users and 120 million monthly visits; why a funding round scuppered by the dot-com crash gave them the chance to grow ‘something real’ - a genuine grassroots community, built from the ground up; reveals the shocking severity of troll attacks, including the sending of an armed SWAT team to her house; tackles critics claiming that Mumsnet forums are ‘nasty’; and suggests that Trump would be an ideal webchat guest - in spite of community objections.

Yesterday, the BBC DG Lord Hall was asked what the BBC was doing to improve programmes for black audiences - he said he wasn't satisfied the BBC appeals enough. Steve asks Pat Younge, the BBC's most senior black executive, how big a problem there is for black viewers. Journalist Bim Adewunmi and Simone Pennant of The TV Collective, a former TV producer, discuss whether the main channels need to change.A recent ruling in the European Court of Human Rights has given cause for concern to publishers of online comments. It suggests that publishers have editorial control over comments and should prevent clearly unlawful ones from appearing. The current practice is to take down comments once notified of a complaint, though the extent to which complaints are investigated first differs from one publisher to another. Law consultant David Banks looks at the laws and Justine Roberts, founder of Mumsnet, considers the implications.And Chris Tarrant is to retire from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, 15 years after its launch. ITV confirms that it has no plans to make further special programmes, beyond those already in the pipeline. David Liddiment, who commissioned the show for ITV, looks back at the launch and why its initial success was far from guaranteed. Producer: Simon Tillotson Editor: Fiona Couper.

Mumsnet founder Justine Roberts champions the life of the legendary football manager Bill Shankly, who in the 1960s took Liverpool from the second division to become one of the world's greatest sides. Famous for his quip that "football is not a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that", Shankly lived and breathed football; but in his later years he felt that the Liverpool managers had frozen him out of the side he had nurtured, and betrayed him. Shankly came from humble beginnings. After school he worked down the local coal mine until the pit was closed. He never became rich and lived in a modest semi-detached house where Liverpool fans were always welcome. His life was a far cry from that of today's top managers, but through his canny playing of the transfer market, did he anticipate their methods? Matthew Parris chairs the discussion, with the aid of Shankly biographer Stephen Kelly. Producer: Jolyon Jenkins

Britain's biggest selling daily newspaper, The Sun, has announced it will start charging for its website later this year. It's the latest paper to announce it's to put content behind a pay wall - the Telegraph made its plans known yesterday afternoon. Presenter Steve Hewlett discusses how The Sun is hoping to make money, what it's likely to be offering, and whether competitors like Mail Online could ever follow suit.As separate types of media - print, broadcast, online - increasingly merge together, questions are being asked about how to regulate content.
