Gotta Go

Briony and Molly Benjamin

Sisters, Molly and Briony Benjamin, try to sit down for a quick catch-up before one of them has Gotta Go. It’s a show for people who are juggling family, work, relationships, and the never-ending to-do list that lives rent-free in your brain. Maybe you’ve got kids at home, maybe they’re older, maybe you’re in that glorious in-between where you can finally drink a hot coffee… but you’re still the one who knows where everything is, when everything is, and why everyone is late. Alongside the laughs, there’s a quiet (but very real) thread running through everything we talk about: how to live a little lighter on the planet without turning your life into a constant guilt trip. We’re looking at practical, everyday choices. The kind that save you money, save you time, and just happen to be better for the environment too. No preaching. No perfection. Just “here’s what we’re trying, here’s what worked, and here’s what made the internet angry.” You’ll also pick up genuinely useful advice; money wins, life-admin systems, and simple habits that make the week feel less expensive and less chaotic. Mostly, you’ll leave entertained and weirdly motivated to do one small helpful thing: renegotiate a bill, cancel a rogue subscription, set up a system that shares the mental load, or make one change that’s good for your household and the climate. Come for the laughs, stay for the occasional rant and know that in not too long, one of us has Gotta Go deal with small children.

    Dingoes, Neglected Pets and Best Friends are Over Hyped

    One of us is a proud chicken mum who now gets up at midnight with a torch. One of us has replaced the family dog with a baby, without consulting the dog. We're sad that the humble birthday cake seems to be a dying art. And we've realised best friends might be overrated. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we've Gotta Go!
