Hello Toasters!Welcome back to another episode of Toasted - the in between week where we have a look through the previous interview and reflect on some of the high (vis) points and lows (rat pasta).As usual there's some ridiculous products mentioned and recommended, and we've stuck some affiliate links here if you fancy a look.Don't forget to give us a follow on the old socials, and we'll see you next time for some Ian Moore!Team Toast xSpin scrubber: https://amzn.to/4d5D0LkFrench posh squash: https://amzn.to/3UHA15ATHE T-shirt folder: https://amzn.to/4iU3frOSupoon: https://amzn.to/4r1a8cZMethod tropical coconut Fabric conditioner: https://amzn.to/4r3YM7ZRAT PASTA - https://amzn.to/4ypab4J

Oh hey ToastersWelcome to another episode of Amazon History Diving! This week we have huge news: Jamelia has bought a LOT of things on Amazon. Like, a LOT.295 orders in a single year, in fact. Spoiler alert there.Behind the stationery, fabric conditioner, photography equipment, rat poison, high-vis clothing and inexplicable metal detector, though, is the story of an extraordinary few years and an extraordinarily cool woman.This week, during a brilliantly candid rummage through another Amazon history, Jamelia (WHO IS A FAN OF THE SHOW) takes us from homeschooling and the terrifying intrusion of the tabloid press, through lockdown and an ever-changing collection of new hobbies, to the breakdown of her marriage while pregnant with her fourth daughter and the beginning of a completely new life in Dubai. Drama-rama, frankly.Along the way we discover why writing her own songs was one of the best decisions Jamelia ever made, why she once dressed like a construction worker simply because she had hired a skip, why her attempt to make all her baby's clothes resulted in precisely ZERO garments, and why one of her daughters has recently required a metal detector.It's funny, surprisingly moving and gloriously chaotic. Because of COURSE it is because it's My Mate Bought a Toaster!Welcome to the many, many, MANY Amazon eras of Jamelia.Don't forget to give us a big fat follow on all the socials please:📺 YouTube🎵 TikTok📸 Instagram📘 FacebookSee you next time!Team toast x

Tom and Beth are back for another serving of TOASTED—the My Mate Bought a Toaster aftershow.This week, we return to Kelechi Okafor’s extraordinary shopping history to investigate the products that raised even more questions.We read reviews of anti-sitting spikes, discover the alarming world of foot-numbing cream and discuss whether tarot cards predict the future—or simply give people the rare pleasure of feeling properly seen.There are also five listener emails, two utterly ridiculous signs and several contributions from the dogs, who apparently believed they had been booked as regular guests.Links to some of the products discussed are here look:DO NOT SIT HERE SIGNANTI SITTING HERE SPIKESNUMBING CREAMTOASTED: more purchases, more stories and considerably more background barking.

Kelechi Okafor once moved to Atlanta because she believed she and Ciara should be friends.There was no meeting arranged. No address. Not really even a plan. She just… went to Atlanta.Which gives you some idea of the energy of this week’s My Mate Bought a Toaster, especially with that being THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE SHOW.Strap in.Via Kelechi's online shopping history, Tom discovers an extraordinary trail through acting, personal training, pole dancing, homemade wigs, hot yoga, tarot, Muay Thai and a frankly alarming approach to protecting the radiator covers in her studio. Alarming and also completely ineffective.There’s also the small matter of turning 40 and inventing geriatric twerking, why you should be VERY careful about the words “in perpetuity” in a contract, the joys of window-shopping death and why Kelechi is simply too sexy to give away the rights to her voice and likeness forever.One online shopping history. One life story. It's another My Mate Bought a Toaster!Also go and check out our friends at Great Oak Farm. They're ecologists and writers who specialise in the most BEAUTIFUL kids' books. Here's a link look. It's only a few quid and there's Apple Pay so it's done in seconds!See you next week for more Toasted!

This week on My Mate Bought A Toaster, Tom rifles through the online shopping history of bestselling author and The Traitors star Harriet Tyce… and uncovers everything from cutting-edge MP3 players to Baby Mozart DVDs, dinner party cookbooks, rowing gloves, weighted blankets and even the book she accidentally bought… that she wrote herself.Along the way Harriet opens up about life as a criminal barrister, the crippling nerves she battled in court, the moment she realised she wanted to become a novelist, why Blood Orange changed everything, and what really happened behind the scenes on The Traitors.There are stories about illegal MP3 downloads, disastrous dinner parties, parenting fads we all fell for, lockdown puzzles, marathon misery, moonwalking in a Wonderbra, and why she still can’t quite believe her entire life has been preserved in Amazon order history since 2001.

Hello Toasters and welcome back!This week on the show we're finding some home truths about the comedian, actor, writer and Fast Show LEGEND Charlie Higson.What starts with a gardening book quickly leads to a crumbling 14th-century Italian ruin, a brief flirtation with writing anonymous pornography, an obsession with James Bond, and a passionate defence of properly synchronised TV sound which frankly needs to form the basis of a new political party. Along the way Charlie reveals:• How he accidentally became the Young James Bond author• Why Ian Fleming’s family made him remove a dog from Bond’s life• The truth about restoring a house in southern Italy• Why writing fight scenes is harder than writing sex scenes• His love of westerns, Bernard Cornwell and Michael Connelly• The Fast Show live tour, audience participation, and the strangest thing to happen at an Only Fools and Horses performance• Why every writer should spend more time in the bathThere’s also discussion of failed greenhouses, cowboy school projects, pub quizzes, ergonomic keyboards, zombie apocalypses and one particularly memorable book called Stacey’s Gang Bang Wedding.A genuinely fascinating conversation with one of Britain’s most successful comedy writers and bestselling authors.📧 Email the show : [email protected]📺 YouTube 🎵 TikTok  📸 Instagram 📘 FacebookSubscribe, follow, leave a review, and tell a friend who still knows all the words to “Suit You Sir”.
