My Mate Bought A Toaster

The main lesson from our chat with Vikki Stone is simply, just be very careful if your other half comes home with a cat. Especially when it's a cat from a take away. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A Divine Comedian with a side line in parenting, dog ownership and disappointing Billy Bragg. This is Shappi at her best. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tom catches up with one of his oldest comedy friends, the marvellous Alexis Dubus. They discuss the big issues: swearing, the 90s, Martin Rossiter off of Gene not being a knob, and how important white gloves are to a Napoleon Costume. Oh, and what we're not here to do to spiders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Never has Suzi Ruffell faced a grilling like this. From letting the Cornish cat from Sheffield out of the bag, to finally revealing the truth about Alan Carr (that's he's really nice). This is another top notch guest bringing their shopping list a-game to the arena. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Margaret Cabourn Smith. A comedian, actor, writer, podcaster. She likes Press gang, face gadgets and is convinced her parents are into sex games. There's other elements to the episode, too, but this is really the highlights in a sentence. Hope you enjoy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Robin Morgan - the man who nearly went to Tooting. Join Tom as he takes a deep dive into a life featuring Dot Cotton Condoms, CJ De Mooi and so very many, many, many bins. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jen Brister joins Tom this week for another look back at the tat. Expect highly revealing books, neighbourly rows and so, so, SO many pairs of Birkenstocks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Comedian and actor Nick Helm is the perfect Toaster guest. Thoughtful, candid, open and honest about some truly terrible purchases. He's a deep thinking funny man loading his basket with classic movies and books. And Spam. And Pamela Anderson. We should have called this episode Spamela Anderson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week I'm joined by the hilarious podcaster, comedian and writer Carrie Quinlan. We discuss the really important things she's bought. Maureen Lipman's books, a stripping exercise book, and the life improving qualities of Kenneth Williams. Oh, and the saddest ever purchase made on February 14th. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Rhys James squirms his way through the self-discovery of an Amazon Purchase Listory. Find out just why a KG of Baclava is the cure for most things, and how you know when you're a grown up. A funny comic, and a very wise man too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Answer me this: what does the modern Mann have to fear in his Amazon purchase history? Nothing, really. Apart from a sex torch. AND MORE. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Time to find out what makes Matt Forde tick. Turns out it's bands. Indie bands, 90s bands, boy bands and now resistance bands. And Christmas. Boy does this one like Christmas. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Would you like to know what Jess Fostekew has been buying on Amazon for the last 20 years or so? Sure you would! A shopping listory that tells the story of a brilliant stand-up, sure (her show Hench is ACE), but also a pile of conversational gold ranging from the agony of an epilator that leaves your your legs looking like two Peparamis to the ecstasy of infuriating a relative with a toy trumpet....

Alex Horne. Writer, Taskmaster, Band leader. And, after this week's episode: sofa-loser, horseback-cricketer and hot-tub owner. You're welcome. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week it's the turn of Dan Thomas to have his life turned over and feel the force of the Toaster spotlight. This is a really funny ep, too - Dan is hilarious, candid - excellently - embarrassed by some of the shit he's bought. He also gives us an ACTUAL food recipe. And perfects the Shatner Shrug. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're BACK! And for the first episode of series TWO we are joined by star of stage, screen and stand-up - the very fabulous Kerry Goldiman! Best known for things like After Life, Derek, Taskmaster and Live At The Apollo. And of course most of all, an ad with Tom about 20 years ago. Kerry's incredible Amazon history includes Kongs that look like rubber colons, Slipknot, and the best thing to shove...

Oh hello! Before season 2 of toaster kicks off, here's a little reminder of why nosing around a comedian's Amazon account is far too much fun. See you soon for more Toasting. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's here! The final full episode of the year! And it's the Baines of all our lives, the one and only Samantha B. With a wide range of shopping confessions and discussion points, including how not to tip, why calligraphy is a great route to truth, and why what music pops in your head when you hear the HBO theme is a clear indicator as to what sort of person you are. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/...

Oh God. We agreed to do a Christmas special, and so here's the first one. And it's Sam interviewing Tom about his purchase history. This episode features the worst trip to Chicago ever, a long discussion about boiling taps, and a history book that has taken longer to read than the actual period of history it covers. What a sizzler. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Rick Edwards everyone! Off of telly and radio and that. In this episode we'll find out if moths really are Emo butterflies, if a cat feeding robot works, and also discuss what makes the best living gravestone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Before we made this podcast with Carl, we would have just called him "The Comedian Carl Donnelly". By the end of this listen, you'll understand why he must from now on be known as "The Engraver, Baker, Communist, Soul Man Carl Donelly". And that's just for starters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kate is most famous these days for being the star of Virgin Radio Drive Time and the Maybe Baby podcast. However, now we've made this podcast with her, we'll always know her as a woman who left a large chunk of her soul in Amsterdam, who has aggressive nipples, and who absolutely loves a flexi party. She also bought Alison Hammond a hot tub. Extraordinary scenes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pri...

You may know him from Casualty or Hollyoaks or The Full Monty, but after listening to this you'll know James Redmond as a man who spends impossible amounts on protein balls, who plasters his walls in vinyl, and who is never going to be close friends with Richard Ashcroft. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The glorious Frog Stone, comedy writer and actor, joins Tom to tell the world her Shopping Listory. Come on a journey of discovery with us, as we aerate wine, meet the Magic Numbers and find out just what a DLS is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A real life Pappy's, trapped in his own Amazon history. We'll discuss what's acceptable in a vegetarian cooked breakfast, what is it like to buy your brother a book about incest for his birthday, and there's a HUGE exclusive on Nigel Farage's wee.
