It's been another busy week in the UK dominated by the Coronation of King Charles III, but as ever for Katie Johnson it's been loose and disorderly.

In episode three of series two Katie meets a lady who was in Westminster Abbey on the big day, then got lost. Award winning chef Daren Bale reveals his favourite recipe and recounts a visit to the barbers. Last but not least, Sandy Docherty from The Great British Bake Off series of 2015 reveals her sisters last words... That's a typical seven days in the world of Shackbaggerly.

Episode 4 is released on Friday 19 May. Click to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

This week Katie Johnson is joined by three chefs talking about Indian cuisine, Vegan cookery and Baking. As ever in a loose disorderly manner, which is why Katie also learns about Royal security, Golf, DNA and the strength of ginger too.

Katie's guests this week are Jane Beedle a Great British Bake Off finalist in 2016 and winner of the GBBO Christmas Special in 2018. Rhian Cafful founder of Veg Life based in Malvern, Worcestershire and Rayeesa Asghar-Sandys a former Metropolitan Police officer who left the city for the countryside of Herefordshire and created Spiced by Rayeesa.

Welcome to season two of Shackbaggerly. Host Katie Johnson brings you guests, recipes, old cookbooks and lifes odd stories in a loose disorderly way. That's the meaning of Shackbaggerly.

This week Great British Bake Off contestant Val Stones and Chef Steve Lyons talk about food, bionic body parts, zink, cheese and R stickers.

 Hello, Katie here.

Sadly Howard has decided to step away from Shackbaggerly, and because I wouldn’t want to do what we do with anyone else, I’m afraid that’s it for our little podcast. A huge thank you to you for listening over the past two years. For your kindness and support. Joining in with your messages, be it old recipes, stories, or photographs of Moose and Nuns! Have absolutely loved our time together, and it’s been an absolute privilege to be part of your week.

If by any chance Shackbaggerly returns, be it in a slightly different format, you will be the first to know. I will keep both Facebook and Instagram pages open, as there will always be our 100 happy episodes available to enjoy.

So that’s it - thank you for listening and see you next time. Katie x

We've made it!  Welcome to the 100th edition of Shackbaggerly. To celebrate this milestone Howard and Katie are joined by the 2021 winner of The Great British Bake Off Giuseppe Dell'Anno. Katie is honoured to be in the company of two* previous winners of the show.

Giuseppe reveals why football confuses him. His hometown doesn't have a hospital. At school he was a boring, sad little child, and, oh yes, he does talk about his time on the Bake Off. 

There's also time for Wendy's moose photo, Apple Dumplings, Comedian Harry Hill, Whitney Houston and Howard wishing his oven was hotter. All will make sense once you listen to episode 100 of Shackbaggerly. 

* A dream of Howard fuelled on stage on many occasions by Katie.

Howard and Katie are loose and disorderly once more this week as Howard discovers fridge magnets for the elderly. Katie delves into Rita Greer's 1985 cookbook 'Recipes For Healthier Living' Can you help with any information about Waukesha Cheese?

This week Howard Middleton and Katie Johnson concentrate on recipes and food... for most of the time! There's Shrimp Wriggle, Monkey Bread, Plucking Bread, Nuns' Breast's and Saint's Breast's. There's also time for Dear Reader, a game Howard is playing on his smart phone. Katie goes mad with a steam cleaner and not forgetting another June Moment. It can only be Shackbaggerly in a loose disorderly manner.

Katie and Howard return with the first Shackbaggerly of 2023. It seems that having an enforced week off has given them renewed vigour, at least measured by the number of topics covered this week. Deep breath.

Doctors receptionists.

Food delivery no shows.

Bespoke breakfast orders.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.

The Peanuts Cookbook from the 1970s.

Body parts of nuns.

Fanny Craddock.

Oh Shackbaggerly wouldn't be complete without another June story.
