This week on Toasted, Tom and Beth dive back into the wonderfully eccentric purchase history of broadcaster, drummer and vintage enthusiast Owain Wyn Evans.

Among the topics up for discussion:

✨ The disco ball on a winch (possibly the greatest item ever featured on the podcast)

🪩 Why second-hand shopping might be better than buying new

📺 The strangest complaints TV presenters receive

🐈 Giant Maine Coon cats

🔧 Tiny purchases that solve enormous problems

🚶‍♂️ Why some people need to be “aired out” after work

🎭 The surprisingly serious artistic legacy of Mr Blobby

📻 Noel Edmonds, live television genius, and controlled chaos

Plus listener emails, pointless household objects, and an unexpectedly deep conversation about the psychology of Amazon purchases.  

📧 We’d love to hear from you!

What’s the smallest, cheapest thing you’ve ever bought that brought you the most joy? Or what’s the weirdest complaint you’ve ever heard?

We're BACK!

This week on the show, Tom is joined by broadcaster, drummer, weather presenter and all-round national treasure, Owain Wyn Evans.

With no Amazon account to speak of, we're diving into Owain's eBay history instead - and WHAT a journey it turns out to be.

From vintage stage lighting that once toured with rock royalty, to a £300 Britney Spears microphone purchased after a few drinks, Owain reveals the gloriously nerdy purchases that have followed him throughout his life.

Along the way we discover how drumming helped him survive a difficult school life, the extraordinary story behind becoming "The Drumming Weatherman", raising millions for Children in Need with his Drumathon, and why a glitter ball on a winch is apparently an absolutely essential household item.

There's also vintage furniture, weather presenter fashion tips, life in Wales, life on national radio, and a purchase so utterly ridiculous that it could only bring this episode to a close...

An adult costume. A VERY adult costume.

WHAT a guest he is - funny, warm and surprisingly revealing about all sorts. As ever we're heading into the things we buy and coming out with ALL SORTS.

🎭 Multiple balaclavas bought for sketch characters… all played by Abi herself

🐈 Why her cat is potentially a bigger star than she is

PLUS: dating anxiety, disastrous ACL injuries from wrestling comedians, wedding cake pressure, cat litter adverts, and one of the greatest New Year’s Eve party ideas we’ve ever heard.

00:05:40 — The cake version of her teacher

00:12:00 — The full Fifty Shades confession

TOASTERS ASSEMBLE!

Hello and welcome back to series eleven would you believe

🎙️ This week we kick off with a pop star's shopping history. That's right, it's the glorious Nicky Byrne from off of Westlife and Eurovision and just generally being an ace human being. We discover the TRUTH about the famous Westlife stools… and that's just the start.

We go from velvet rehearsal stools and Eurovision nerves to secret Westlife reunions and the big choices you have to make when you're sorting your bins out.

A deep dive into a superstar's shopping history with some glorious side chat about one of the biggest boybands of all time.

Nicky talks about:

• How Westlife really got their name

• The moment the boys secretly reunited after years apart

• Why the “standing up from stools” thing accidentally became iconic

• Representing Ireland at Eurovision

• The pressure of fame, touring, and life in a boy band

• Why he painted his front wall before the Westlife reunion meeting

Don't forget to give us a follow on your nearest social media platform. We need your love out there on those terrible places. We're on all the usuals.

See you soon for a Toasted episode, and the brilliant Abi Clarke who is along next time.

Hi Toasters!

Welcome back!

This week we're diving into the Amazon purchase history of comedian, Instagrammer, and podcast host Holly Morris.

Together we'll voyage into some seriously eclectic online shopping habits, from cosplay costumes and portable projectors to silicon toilet brushes and inflatable fat suits.

We chat impulsive job changes, how home is truly where the heart is, we talk ADHD and autism, and make sure we stop off for a serious tangent on toilet paper and maths.

What a show! And it's all yours to enjoy!
