SnackChat

After a long and boring three months spent indoors eating stale crisps and sitting through thousands of Zoom meetings, SnackChat – The Spudcast is back. This well-seasoned episode has a special guest in the form of Sandwich Prophet, Max Halley, proprietor of Max’s Sandwich Shop in Finsbury Park. Max actually knows things about food and drink and kindly spoke to us earlier in May about crispy stuff in sarnies, natural wine and custard. Russell and Joe have also defrosted some cryogenically frozen chit-chat with topics including the inventor of the ‘choice-ice on a stick’, pornography-haircuts and Dutch potato crisps! Mega thanks to intro star Sebastian Needle @sebastian.needle Max’s Sandwich Shop @lunchlunchluncheon And Fat Larry’s Band, Zoom link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMo6Ju8SJ8o

SnackChat returns for another locked-down episode, this week commemorating VE Day with some crisps, booze and discussion of everything from airborne Chicken McNuggets to Dame Vera Lynn. Please snack at a safe distance and stay alert!

The Spudcast is back after an extended quarantine! An even more random episode than usual; Russell and Joe attempt their first remote recording, crunching over life in lockdown, what to watch on the telly, a brief listen to some rival crisp-related content, and a first taste of Walker's new 'failing high street restaurants' range... Mr Tayto also makes an appearance. Of course, please snack at a safe distance.

Och aye, it's Burns Night! Therefore we've ventured north o'er the border to sample a few Scottish bags (and some snacks) in honour of Mr. Burns; not the miserly Nuclear power-plant owner from Springfield but rather Robert Burns, the Bard of Ayrshire, the Ploughman Poet, the Dick of Dumfries, the Ironmonger of Bru... We also discuss a few other things including Kevin Spacey, haggis and Billy Connolly.

Starch the herald angels sing, Jesus Christ it’s Crispmas again. And what do we have stashed under our tree? This year we were fortunate enough to be asked by London rag the Evening Standard to review the best in festive snacks. Here's a link to the article: www.standard.co.uk/shopping/esbest…s-a4312941.html As always, please eat (and drink) responsibly. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

Woo-ooo-oooh! Light up your snack o'lanterns and settle in for a special All Hallows' Eve episode of the World's Crunchiest Spudcast® filled with tricks and treats. Unable to find many savoury snacks fitting the theme, your hosts Joe and Russ tiptoe into the terrifying world of Halloween sweets and cakes. They also foolishly try eating real-life creepy crawlies for the first (and hopefully last) time ever.

This episode sees Russell, Joe and erstwhile correspondent Abha take on sweet and salty delicacies from South Korea. Due to trade sanctions North Korean snacks were not available but there's still an inclusion of what you might enjoy if you made it across the DMZ (de-militarised zone). Other areas of discussion include Wagon Wheels, sweetcorn-flavoured crisps, South Korean Cheetos and Kim Jong-un's haircut. As always, please snack responsibly. Special thanks to Clara for eating material, Doy for the introduction and Monique for her participation.

In the jungle, the tangy jungle, are tasty crisps and snacks In the jungle, the crispy jungle the lion eats Nik Naks Episode 15 is roaring with flavour and sees Russell and Joe joined once more by the Sittingbourne globetrotter, Charlie and another Sittingbourne native, Leigh. Charlie has been to South Africa and brings with him a cornucopia of crisps and snacks to devour. There's also some wine-drinking, an extract from the Viz, music by Billy Ocean and lots of other random bollocks. Please eat responsibly.

This cut and shut episode tastes a random variety pack of shapes and flavours from Germany, Oman, Malaysia and Leicester. Please eat responsibly.

Channel 5's recent (well, quite recent) series of 'Britain's Favourite' covered the mysterious and eccentric world of crisps. They claimed to conduct a poll, many people thought the results were total bollocks. Join Russell and Joe as they watch said TV show with underwhelming consequences.

Oriental Excess by SnackChat

SnackChat episode 11 delves into the so-called 'healthy crisps' market. Featuring Pop Chips, Hippeas, Walkers Sun Bites and Snack-a-Jacks, this show asks whether crisps with less calories and steaming your vagina are all just a load of bollocks. Also features a guest appearance from meditation guru, Dave Spatz. As always, please eat responsibly.

Some leftovers we forgot to serve on Boxing Day due to other commitments. This second part of our mammoth Crispmas feast features the much anticipated eggnog tasting; some punishingly bad xmas-song-puns from the host of our Crispmas snacks, Russell; and at least several other bagfuls of nonsensical chat. Please eat responsibly.

Join Russell, Joe and special guest, Abha the Elf as they over-indulge in over 40 packets of festive-themed crisps and snacks. Big thanks to Sam Huddleston for additional jingles, and to Mr J Christ for technical assistance.

Smith's Potato Crisps Ltd. was formed by Frank Smith in Cricklewood, London in Smith's garage in the 1920s. Smith's Crisps went on to produce snacks like Bacon Fries, Scampi Fries and Chipsticks. Say no more.

“We the people (of SnackChat) hold these truths to be self-evident, that American chips are inferior in every way to British crisps…” But maybe we’re wrong? Good job Russell has just been on holiday to the U.S. of A and returned brandishing a suitcase stuffed with snacks. Join him and Joe as they munch their way through Uncle Sam’s pantry, chewing the fat, shooting the breeze and nearly biting the dust courtesy of some mega-hot tortilla chips. Also featuring the Spudcast’s first cookery lesson, as Russell goes behind bars to find out how a prison burrito is made.

In this episode Russell and Joe chomp over snacks of the Emerald Isle. Joined by special guest Mark Agnew (a man who claims to have lived and eaten crisps in Dublin) there's a taste-test of Ireland's best cheese & onion, why maize snacks are so addictive, David Bowie's favourite crisps and lots of other deadly banter...

Episode 6 of SnackChat the spudcast is an Indian special. Featuring tastings of classics like Bombay mix and mini poppadoms, there's also a mention of a '90s favourite, Philleas Fogg. We also meditate on the merits of newcomer to the world-snack-scene, Howdah. Other tasty topics include snakes, school teachers and what Russell had for his lunch. As always, please eat responsibly.

After a month overseas SnackChat is back and crunchier than ever. Episode 5 is a Brexit holiday special, an all-inclusive discussion of snacks from across the European Union... Lounge back with a frosty beverage and tuck in.

High drama this week as the discussion tackles German-supermarket-chain Lidl's own brand versions of classic crisps. There's also a segment on the iconic Pringles from the USA, and the usual psychobabble (including some Masterchef-related chat). Please eat responsibly.

Episode 3 of SnackChat the Spudcast® features: World Cup and football chat • Crisp News • Wankers crisps featuring Tyrell’s and Savoursmiths • And ‘Supermarket Sweep’ - an outside broadcast from Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Angel Food and Wine in Islington, north London. Please enjoy responsibly

More snack-related nonsense featuring a discussion of veg and fruit crisps, Twiglets, crisp news, and a cheesy crisps blind tasting. Snacktastic.

This first episode features Savoursmiths 'artisan' crisps; a bacon-flavour test; a discussion of the Walker's 70th anniversary Flavours of the Decades range; and a chat about the iconic Space Raiders. *WARNING* – This podcast contains excessive crisp munching (and swear words)
