Number 1: JAMELIA: Fame, Family, Divorceâ¦ and a Metal Detector?
Oh hey Toasters Welcome to another episode of Amazon History Diving! This week we have huge news: Jamelia has bought a LOT of things on Amazon. Like, a LOT. 295 orders in a single year, in fact. Spoiler alert there. Behind the stationery, fabric conditioner, photography equipment, rat poison, high-vis clothing and inexplicable metal detector, though, is the story of an extraordinary few years and an extraordinarily cool woman. This week, during a brilliantly candid rummage through another Amazon history, Jamelia (WHO IS A FAN OF THE SHOW) takes us from homeschooling and the terrifying intrusion of the tabloid press, through lockdown and an ever-changing collection of new hobbies, to the breakdown of her marriage while pregnant with her fourth daughter and the beginning of a completely new life in Dubai. Drama-rama, frankly. Along the way we discover why writing her own songs was one of the best decisions Jamelia ever made, why she once dressed like a construction worker simply because she had hired a skip, why her attempt to make all her baby's clothes resulted in precisely ZERO garments, and why one of her daughters has recently required a metal detector. It's funny, surprisingly moving and gloriously chaotic. Because of COURSE it is because it's My Mate Bought a Toaster! Welcome to the many, many, MANY Amazon eras of Jamelia. Don't forget to give us a big fat follow on all the socials please: ðº YouTube ðµ TikTok ð¸ Instagram ð Facebook See you next time! Team toast x

Number 2: TOASTED: Kelechi Okafor and THOSE spikes
Tom and Beth are back for another serving of TOASTEDâthe My Mate Bought a Toaster aftershow. This week, we return to Kelechi Okaforâs extraordinary shopping history to investigate the products that raised even more questions. We read reviews of anti-sitting spikes, discover the alarming world of foot-numbing cream and discuss whether tarot cards predict the futureâor simply give people the rare pleasure of feeling properly seen. There are also five listener emails, two utterly ridiculous signs and several contributions from the dogs, who apparently believed they had been booked as regular guests. Links to some of the products discussed are here look: DO NOT SIT HERE SIGN ANTI SITTING HERE SPIKES NUMBING CREAM TOASTED: more purchases, more stories and considerably more background barking.

Number 3: Kelechi Okafor: Geriatric Twerking, Finding Ciara & Window-Shopping Death
Kelechi Okafor once moved to Atlanta because she believed she and Ciara should be friends. There was no meeting arranged. No address. Not really even a plan. She justâ¦ went to Atlanta. Which gives you some idea of the energy of this weekâs My Mate Bought a Toaster, especially with that being THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE SHOW. Strap in. Via Kelechi's online shopping history, Tom discovers an extraordinary trail through acting, personal training, pole dancing, homemade wigs, hot yoga, tarot, Muay Thai and a frankly alarming approach to protecting the radiator covers in her studio. Alarming and also completely ineffective. Thereâs also the small matter of turning 40 and inventing geriatric twerking, why you should be VERY careful about the words âin perpetuityâ in a contract, the joys of window-shopping death and why Kelechi is simply too sexy to give away the rights to her voice and likeness forever. One online shopping history. One life story. It's another My Mate Bought a Toaster! Also go and check out our friends at Great Oak Farm. They're ecologists and writers who specialise in the most BEAUTIFUL kids' books. Here's a link look. It's only a few quid and there's Apple Pay so it's done in seconds! See you next week for more Toasted!
