S3 E1 – Olive Oil Mafia & Getting Lobsters High?!
Upgrade to Unlock
Podcasts are only available to Digital Club and Book Club members
We get season three of Feast Your Ears off to a brilliant start with a talk about drugs, the Mafia, theme songs to life and FAVE superheroes. You may be asking yourself where the topic of food comes into any of this. Well it does. Precariously…but it still does. Next season could always be better I guess.
Best Soundbite: “Watch out for 2020’s new Marvel film, Popeye: The Sailer Man” – Michael Huttlestone

S12 E2 -Does Food Taste Better When It’s Cooked By Someone Else?

How can we download these podcasts? Really frustrating needing internet to listen
I have a feeling the reason Barry isn’t there is because a baby may have been born!!!
Not quite yet!
Yayyyy! I missed the podcast 🙂
I live in Maine so I knew that was the truth. It was a big deal when it happened, it was all over the news and people were talking about it.
Love that you are back – also love the video being back. As a non native speaker…. Feast your ears sounds a lot like Easter ears … So I somehow picture you all with a ridiculous set of Playboy Bunny ears…. Can’t be worse than the “swag” though …. 😉
Watching Ben trying to describe the effects of getting high is one of the highlights of my year. I think I speak for a lot of people when I ask: Who in the effing world is Banana Man?
Only the greatest English childhood hero of the ’80s, that and Danger Mouse!!

Hahahaa!
Loved the episode!
Thanks for answering my superhero question and for bringing the video back, it is a joy to watch! 😊
Thanks for submitting the question – let me know if you have any more good ones for the next few epsiodes!
Nice to see you doing podcasts..
My theme song… ‘Fat’ by Weird Al.
lobsters are crustaceans and they have gills! These podcasts have made me realise how much useless information I know.
Ground Force, Banana Man and Super Ted, all favs when I was younger! Classic! Loved this episode, especially the call from Barry! lol
Grilled question for next podcast:
Have there been any food aversions that you’ve overcome since being a part of sorted food?
Ground Force, wow, absolutely iconic. Although I agree – not quite right for Jamie. Might be better as a theme for whenever the “normals” is generally dithering about. Fab as always 🙂
OH!!! Jamie’s theme song should totally be the theme to Veggie Tales. Just like, switch out the veg terminology for meat or something.
Very enjoyable – thanks, guys!
