Studio Snack

In our project finale episode, we go for a walk, starting where we had the idea, wandering through our favourite episodes and looking ahead to the next thing...

Autumn brings us pie. A pie filled with nerdery, a visit full of discovery at our new London favourite, the V&A East Storehouse and fresh out of the creative oven, a look at pie charts...

In our food and fashion episode, we look at iconic designs, fashionable snacks, dressing for dinner and tea, we sashay through some fashion and textiles experiments and we pick the brain of fashion graduate Orla Drury.

And we’re off… with the sporting snacks episode of Studio Snack , featuring cricket teas, Jelly Babies and a half-time creative experiment.

June is a colourful month all about equality. So we celebrate Pride via rainbow bagels, art history, language, a joyful bit of Physics, insights from the co-chair of Pride and Food, and, of course, experimenting with glitter.

In this month’s episode of Studio Snack, we take a tea break... via office snack history, the business case, a poll, a WhatsApp interview with the Zen Project and this month's experiment: a tea break alarm.

April is peak seed-sowing month, and most snacks start with a seed. In this month's episode, we did some nerdery on the oldest snack and learned how popcorn is an exploded seed. We had not one but two WhatsApp interviews discussing the parallels of running a business or a community and planting. 

In our Mother’s Day episode, we chat about movable feasts, family recipes, making by instinct, we ask a food entrepreneur about ingredients from home, and we try cooking with words.

In our February episode we’re feeling the love for Valentines month, via a local heart-shaped sweet, some symbol history, a bouquet of creative experiments and a chat with Leticia Credidio in Barcelona about being taught by the designer who created the iconic ‘I love New York’ logo.

Less is more! In this episode, we delve into the history of new year’s resolutions, chat about the challenges of minimalism, experiment with simplification, we ask an architect – and we introduce our new, year-long experiment.

We make Studio Snack for fun – so in each recording there are bits where we get the giggles, say the right words in the wrong order and where we are, frankly, winging it. Here is our annual compilation of out-takes.

In this month’s episode, we chat about advent calendars of snacks. Or are they? We explore the austere, the odd and the newsworthy, we consult AI and we rethink what an advent calendar could be.

In our Halloween episode of Studio Snack, we have monster feet, stories behind traditions, weird flavour combinations, skeleton snack pictures made from the inside out – and we chat about what we’ve learned for our creative practice.

In our September episode, as creatures stash their food supplies for Winter, we look at inconvenience food, via apocalypse storecupboards, space, preserving and what we can learn from squirrels

This month, many people are in transit and by coincidence, a typo at a workshop invented a new word: buscuit. So in the latest episode of Studio Snack, we explore snacks on the move, via etiquette, sandwich wars, plantable litter and joining up books and bourbon biscuits.

This month, we go from palate to palette on a Studio Snack field trip to the coast. Grab an ice cream and have a listen as we dive into history, play with our food and explore what we can do with a handful of colours.

At last, it’s Summer! So in our June Studio Snack, we celebrate the loveliness of edible flowers – via 17th century salad, breath fresheners, a surprising pair of words, some animation and a colour swatch.

Narcis + birthday = coffee and cake. In this month’s episode we explore the language of snack breaks, find rebellious cake history in Jutland and baffle AI.

In our April episode of Studio Snack, a road trip takes us to fictional snacks, we do some intergenerational nerdery along the way and we create some snack stories of our own.

For our March episode, we've been on the trail of the Easter bunny and found some carrots. Bit too healthy? Don’t switch off yet! We have unexpected nerdery, luminous experiments, design insights – and measuring a run in carrot cake.

In our February episode, we discover that the root of the word company is breaking bread, we delve into business lunch history, do typography with toast, monoprint with Marmite and make an Ampersandwich.

In our first  Studio Snack  of 2024,  Snack resolution , we do Veganuary. We chat about accidentally vegan snacks, Pythagoras and plant-based food made to mimic meat, we try out two recipes and we ask what it all tells us about design.

Making Studio Snack, we always learn something that we can apply in our creative practice. So, for this latest episode, we have put together our take-outs – or best bites… But every episode also brings us some laughter, usually taken out from the final edit, so we bring you the year’s out-takes too. We hope you enjoyed season 2 of Studio Snack – thank you for listening! See you, or rather, you’ll...

This month is all about circular snacks – food celebrating waste. We look at the surprisingly international story of a classic tapas dish, we hear from a chef, we explore new kinds of food enterprise and we use waste as an opportunity to get creative.

This month’s episode started with a question. Does cheese taste better when cut into cubes? That’s sent us on a wheel of research about food and design – with a diversion to a classic 1970s party snack.
