Castaway Buffet

Amy Jones of @andthenwhatpod and The Pool shares her desert island culinary choices with us, briefly, before we get deep into some sexy literary nerdism.

If you're not a Harry Potter fan, you may want to skip large chunks of this episode.

Dug Mackie shares his chosen desert island kitchen utensils. Blythe Pepino guest hosts and does a questionable impression of Kirsty Young. Plus, all you need to know about egg timing.

In Episode 5, recorded in Tokyo, we are joined by Hong Kong based Actor and Musician Anders Nelsson.

He ridicules our humble podcast but generously gives us the scoop on Bruce Lee's death, as well as a wealth of other filthy gossip.

Who knew MSG could give you erections?

Definitely NOT an episode for children.

Desert Island Whisks episode 3 features Emily Barker discussing the seven utensils she would bring to a desert island with her.

Featuring an extra dollop of coffee nerdism and a factually flawed lecture on the Balinese Gamelan by Anna Jacob BMus (Hons).

Episode FOUR features Mr Dug Mackie, exhibition designer extraordinaire and all around great guy.

WARNING: This episode features some talk about the benefits of sticking garlic in various orifices.

Special thanks to Blythe Pepino for her triumphant debut as 'guest host' and to Cormac Brady for producing this episode's exquisite outro music.

The second episode of our spin-off series: Desert Island Whisks. Blythe Pepino chooses the seven kitchen utensils she would take with her to a desert island.

I know. Thrilling, right?

Our third episode, and the first of 2018, features the award-winning songwriter and epic coffee nerd; Emily Barker.

With the Aussies outnumbering the poms for the first (and hopefully the last) time, we explore fields of lavender, coffee nerdism, the difference between horse polo and water polo, Waitrose guilt (it's real) and wanky boutique dark chocolate.

BON APPETIT.

The first episode of our spin-off series: Desert Island Whisks.

Which 7 kitchen utensils would you bring to your desert island?

Yup. You heard.

Enjoy.

Episode two features the musical wonder that is Blythe Pepino, formerly of the band Vaults and currently of the band Mesadorm (and the voice of the UNFORGETTABLE 2016 John Lewis Christmas ad).

Join Anna, Kate and Blythe on a journey through monkey milking, the challenges of IBS, pig milking, neanderthal brows, monkey/human cross-breeding, nut milking and YES, the idea of making bread using one's own vaginal yeast. We apologise for the yeast chat and for the sound of the washing machine in the background. We are still learning.

ENJOY.

So what's this podcast all about then?
