S2 Ep 4Jess Fostekew

E

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. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Apr 15, 202045 min

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.

S1 Ep 31Tom Price

E

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.

Dec 9, 201955 min

S1 Ep 30Rick Edwards

E

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.

Dec 2, 201954 min

S1 Ep 29Carl Donnelly

E

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.

Nov 25, 201954 min

S1 Ep 28Kate Lawler

E

Kate is most famous these days for being the star of Virgin Radio Drive Time and the Maybe Baby podcast.

She also bought Alison Hammond a hot tub. Extraordinary scenes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nov 18, 201944 min

S1 Ep 27James Redmond

E

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.

Nov 11, 201946 min

Oct 28, 201939 min

S1 Ep 24The Scummy Mummies

Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn are a podcasting comedy duo who go by the name of The Scummy Mummies. They're rude, funny and uncompromising in their belief that the answer to all live comedy is to just buy a prop on Amazon. This is a highly enlightening ride into the heart of what makes a great team work. The answer, it turns out, is velvet, inflatables and a meditation cushion. And much, much more. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oct 21, 201948 min

S1 Ep 23Wendy Wason

E

S1 Ep 22Harriet Scott

E

Fresh from waking the nation up on Magic, Harriet Scott woke Tom and Sam up with a stunning Amazon History.

There's also the most definitive proof that self help books work. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oct 6, 201941 min

S1 Ep 21Matt Green

E

Matt Green is a great stand-up comic by night, sure, but what does he do during the day? Well, judging by this, he spends most of his time buying books about books by Martin Amis, falling in love with bins, and buying an actual table tennis bat even though he's a fully grown adult. To be fair you should never judge a comedian by their episode of My Mate Bought a Toaster, although if you do then Matt is clearly funny, interesting, and distressingly into David Gray and Dido. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sep 30, 201937 min

S1 Ep 20Mark Dolan

E

Episode 20! How on earth have we got here?? This week Tom and Sam find themselves in the company of one of the tallest men in the show off business. A comedian, presenter, and wearer of silk pants, Mark lets us see his Amazon history and it isn't long before some of the big topics come up: sleep masks, milk frothers and possibly the worst Mick Jagger impression of all time. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sep 23, 201951 min

S1 Ep 19Bec Hill

Sep 16, 201943 min

S1 Ep 18Joel Dommett

E

The effortlessly hilarious Joel Dommett drops in for some Amazon revelations.
