| The Best of Season 8 | 18 Jul 2024 | 01:05:53 | |
What better way to celebrate hot weather, expensive travel, annoying tourists, relentless children and lost sunglasses than by dropping a little cheeky Best of Series 8 on your feed. It's to cheer you up and help you on your merry sunburnt way. Here you'll find some of the highlights of what's been going on this series where once again we've ploughed through people's purchases in order to find their true life stories waiting in between the receipts. We've got big buys (why did Katherine Ryan get SO much vinegar?) and we've got tiny buys such as Stephen Merchant's charming gift of a little toy plane for his fully grown, adult, parents. There's just something about looking across an entire span of someone's Amazon Purchase History that brings out their life's highest points - such as Marcus Brigstocke flying through the air on a tv show knowing he was about to catastrophically break his leg. But we often find life's most terrifying and lowest moments too - a simple weighing scales bought by Emmanuel Sonubi was, it turns out, the first thing he bought after he very nearly died of a massive heart attack. It's a rollercoaster ride, this shopping snooping business. Thanks again for listening and see you a bit later on in the year! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Stephen Merchant | 03 Jul 2024 | 00:51:09 | |

Hello again and welcome back for another blitz through someone's private purchase history. It's snooping, sure, but it's also an autobiography so it's FINE to nose, ok? This week the comedian Aurie Styla drops by to tell us about the worst uni corridor mates, the best way to play computer games and the discussion you've all been waiting for: can you really see in 8k?

See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Vikki Stone | 08 Jul 2020 | 00:49:23 | |
The main lesson from our chat with Vikki Stone is simply, just be very careful if your other half comes home with a cat. Especially when it's a cat from a take away. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Shappi Khorsandi | 01 Jul 2020 | 00:55:53 | |

| Nish Kumar | 17 Apr 2024 | 00:38:34 | |
Nish Kumar! A romp through vinyl, books and .... well that's it because he hasn't got an Amazon account. Amazingly though we still manage to cover off plenty of topics including REM, REM, REM and how he's a DC Gideon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

Would you like to know what Jess Fostekew has been buying on Amazon for the last 20 years or so? Sure you would! A shopping listory that tells the story of a brilliant stand-up, sure (her show Hench is ACE), but also a pile of conversational gold ranging from the agony of an epilator that leaves your your legs looking like two Peparamis to the ecstasy of infuriating a relative with a toy trumpet. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Alex Horne | 08 Apr 2020 | 00:39:16 | |

| Tom Price | 09 Dec 2019 | 00:55:48 | |
Oh God. We agreed to do a Christmas special, and so here's the first one. And it's Sam interviewing Tom about his purchase history. This episode features the worst trip to Chicago ever, a long discussion about boiling taps, and a history book that has taken longer to read than the actual period of history it covers. What a sizzler. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Rick Edwards | 02 Dec 2019 | 00:54:26 | |
It's Rick Edwards everyone! Off of telly and radio and that. In this episode we'll find out if moths really are Emo butterflies, if a cat feeding robot works, and also discuss what makes the best living gravestone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Carl Donnelly | 25 Nov 2019 | 00:54:17 | |
Before we made this podcast with Carl, we would have just called him "The Comedian Carl Donnelly". By the end of this listen, you'll understand why he must from now on be known as "The Engraver, Baker, Communist, Soul Man Carl Donelly". And that's just for starters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Kate Lawler | 18 Nov 2019 | 00:44:03 | |
Kate is most famous these days for being the star of Virgin Radio Drive Time and the Maybe Baby podcast. However, now we've made this podcast with her, we'll always know her as a woman who left a large chunk of her soul in Amsterdam, who has aggressive nipples, and who absolutely loves a flexi party. She also bought Alison Hammond a hot tub. Extraordinary scenes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| James Redmond | 11 Nov 2019 | 00:46:58 | |
You may know him from Casualty or Hollyoaks or The Full Monty, but after listening to this you'll know James Redmond as a man who spends impossible amounts on protein balls, who plasters his walls in vinyl, and who is never going to be close friends with Richard Ashcroft. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Frog Stone | 04 Nov 2019 | 00:52:18 | |

| The Scummy Mummies | 21 Oct 2019 | 00:48:55 | |
Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn are a podcasting comedy duo who go by the name of The Scummy Mummies. They're rude, funny and uncompromising in their belief that the answer to all live comedy is to just buy a prop on Amazon. This is a highly enlightening ride into the heart of what makes a great team work. The answer, it turns out, is velvet, inflatables and a meditation cushion. And much, much more. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Wendy Wason | 14 Oct 2019 | 00:38:22 | |

There's also the most definitive proof that self help books work. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
