Playing Devil's Avocado episodes

  • S2. Ep 26. The one about taste buds and dead pop stars

    This week, Claire and Lisa discuss young people taking on Trump on TikTok and the amazing podcast Wind of Change. They also follow a fad, for the first time in ages, and it's ear-seeding. What's that? Tune in to find out. Also on this week's episode, they discuss slow cookers and why they're so great, the gadget that has Lisa all gaga in the garden, how your taste buds change so you don't like certain foods all of a sudden, Gwyneth's new candle (watch out, it's kinda rude!) and how we're all going to suffer when we go back to work and have to get less sleep. And finally, they ask, if you could bring back a dead pop star for one last concert, who would it be?
