TOASTERS ASSEMBLE!
Hello and welcome back to series eleven would you believe
šļø This week we kick off with a pop star's shopping history. That's right, it's the glorious Nicky Byrne from off of Westlife and Eurovision and just generally being an ace human being. We discover the TRUTH about the famous Westlife stools⦠and that's just the start.
We go from velvet rehearsal stools and Eurovision nerves to secret Westlife reunions and the big choices you have to make when you're sorting your bins out. A deep dive into a superstar's shopping history with some glorious side chat about one of the biggest boybands of all time.
Nicky talks about: ⢠How Westlife really got their name ⢠The moment the boys secretly reunited after years apart ⢠Why the āstanding up from stoolsā thing accidentally became iconic ⢠Representing Ireland at Eurovision ⢠The pressure of fame, touring, and life in a boy band ⢠Why he painted his front wall before the Westlife reunion meeting
Don't forget to give us a follow on your nearest social media platform. We need your love out there on those terrible places. We're on all the usuals.
See you soon for a Toasted episode, and the brilliant Abi Clarke who is along next time.

Hello Toasters and welcome round the porch of one Kevin Eldon, whose post we'll be going through this week in order to nosily find out every last thing about him. It's an honour to catch up with Kev, who is genuinely one of the best comedy actors in the UK. He's also one of the last ones standing, but that's by the by. He's really funny which really helps with interview format. Along the way we'll discuss The Beatles, Buddhism and just how much he loves Shakin' Stevens and most importantly WHY he loves Shakin' Stevens (it's not a Christmas thing, believe it or not). Anyway enjoy the episode and don't forget to find us on all your socials. AND guys we've also got a substack that no-one's reading so maybe drop in there if you fancy? ok cheers all see you next week for Toasted!
TOASTED: Caravans, Crap Musicians & The British Abroad What happens when you discover youāre just⦠not very good at something? This week, Tom and Beth discuss the hobbies we should probably have abandoned years ago, including the brutal question of whether some of us simply have no musical ability whatsoever. Elsewhere, we get into the peculiar British obsession with caravanning, the reality of running an Airbnb, and why white vinegar appears to have become the answer to virtually every domestic problem known to humankind. Plus: what gives you away as British when youāre abroad? Is it the apologising? The queuing? The sunburn? Or simply being unable to order a coffee without somehow making the whole interaction awkward? Another rummage through the stuff we buy, the things we do, and the minor domestic nonsense that somehow takes over our lives. Got a story, recommendation, terrible purchase or something you think Tom and Beth need to discuss? š§ [email protected] Here are some of the items mentioned on the show today: RESISTANCE BANDS ARE AMAZING! PRESS UPS WITHOUT WRIST PAIN! IAN MOORE WRITES AMAZING BOOKS!
