This week on Shackbaggerly food, for once, is at the forefront of Katie Johnson and Howard Middleton's conversation. From fish and chips to Cypriot Meze it's all here along with jet lag and doorbells. Howard and Katie also have a time for a geography lesson as another country joins the listener list.

Katie and Howard are back next Friday at 9am UK time. 

If you're a regular listener you'll know Shackbaggerly means in a loose disorderly manner. This week for Howard Middleton and Katie Johnson is no exception. For example: Howard doesn't seem to know what a hand dryer is. Katie's visit to the hairdresser takes an unexpected turn. Food and old recipes do get a mention with Beef Wellington, at a cost, Fanny Craddock behind the scenes gossip and Howard's mum knows what day it is by labelling yoghurt.

Welcome to episode 54 of Shackbaggerly. As ever Howard and Katie begin with every intention of talking about food and old recipe books, but as usual, it's not too long before they go off piste! This week, for example, the saga of the bar stool, Katie's pond extension and Howard's mum consumer testing of toilet roll. It could only be Shackbaggerly.

This week Howard and his mum do a spot of people watching in the A&E department. Katie wonders why people can be so noisey in the cinema. Old recipes do make the final edit with 'Split Peas' and 'The Web Footed Cookbook' As ever Shackbaggerly rarely disappoints!

Episode 54 will be available next Friday 11th March from 9am UK time.

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday Shack...bagger...ly, Happy birthday to you.

One year on Katie and Howard are still going...   ...on!

This week: Cake, cake and more cake. Is Howard carbon nautral? Katie's online shopping substitutions. Where is the most unusual place to fall asleep? Oh yes and old recipes do get a mention too. Once again Katie Johnson and Howard Middleton provide proof this podcast is the definition of Shackbaggerly. 

Howard Middleton featured on the BBC TV programme The Great British Bake Off. Katie Johnson is a former BBC Radio Presenter and Producer. The Shackbaggerly podcast was created during the UK lockdowns in 2021. It's Katie and Howard's love of old recipes and cookbooks which is the basis of the programme but in their true 'loose and disorderly manner' shines through.

As ever with Shackbaggerly Katie Johnson and Howard Middleton go off on one. They start chatting about a cookery demonstration and end up talking T-Shirts. Stormy weather is predicted in the UK this week so Howard and Katie talk about Dudley a town in the UK... if you can follow their thoughts and can keep up, this week's episode is for you.

Also does Katie keep a record of what's been featured in the last twelve months of Shackbaggerly? The Webbed Foot Cookbook and Dolly Varden Cake also get a mention along with the NFL Superbowl! Finally where should you put the toilet roll holder?

Once again only on Shackbaggerly.

Whoop whoop we've reached 50! Who would have thought a podcast about things in a loose disorderly manner could reach its half century?

This week Howard Middleton (The Great British Bake Off) and Katie Johnson (Wot's Cooking) chat about Greys Anatomy, Chicago Fire, Superbowl 56, Coronation Chicken and Finland. Whilst, some how, sounding like they know what they're talking about!

We'd love to hear from you. To get in touch email podcast@the shackbaggerly.co.uk

Pictures and other bits 'n' bobs are available via our Facebook and Instagram feeds.

Back next Friday from 9 o'clock UK time for episode 51. What will Katie and Howard talk about... at this point they don't even know! 

Welcome to episode 49 of Shackbaggerly. In a packed edition this week Katie Johnson and Howard Middleton chat about...

Deep breath: The Great British Menu, a moose, a walnut tree, a trampoline, Dutch Ovens, Pears Soap, first aid, onion rings, Ice Airport Alaska and life models. We may have missed something out so we may have to listen again just in case!

Join Howard and Katie next Friday when they celebrate Shackbaggerly's half century. Now do you know anyone who could bake a cake? 

To say hello to Katie and Howard you can email [email protected]

Join Howard Middleton (Great British Bake Off - Season Four) and Katie Johnson (Often Vulgar) for another trip down memory lane in this week's Shackbaggerly Podcast.

Is Howard a look-a-like for Michael Gove or Rosemary Shrager? Katie's still struggling with moles in the garden, but help could be on the way, and when did 'Gas Regulo' fall from use and become simply 'Mark'?

As usually Katie and Howard uphold the meaning of Shackbaggerly, in a loose and disorderly manner, and June, Harvey, Glyn and a few recipes all get a mention. We still don't know how they do it all in under 30 minutes!

We've started to publish previous episodes on Youtube. It will take us a while to get up to date, at the moment the first three programmes are available. We'll add somemore over the next few weeks. Perhaps in a few months Katie and Howard will present a live full colour, stereo sound Shackbaggerly...

Episode Forty Nine will be online from next Friday 9am UK time.
