My Mate Bought A Toaster

This week on My Mate Bought A Toaster, Tom rifles through the online shopping history of bestselling author and The Traitors star Harriet Tyce… and uncovers everything from cutting-edge MP3 players to Baby Mozart DVDs, dinner party cookbooks, rowing gloves, weighted blankets and even the book she accidentally bought… that she wrote herself.Along the way Harriet opens up about life as a criminal barrister, the crippling nerves she battled in court, the moment she realised she wanted to become a novelist, why Blood Orange changed everything, and what really happened behind the scenes on The Traitors.There are stories about illegal MP3 downloads, disastrous dinner parties, parenting fads we all fell for, lockdown puzzles, marathon misery, moonwalking in a Wonderbra, and why she still can’t quite believe her entire life has been preserved in Amazon order history since 2001. It's quite literally ALL HERE UNDER ONE PODCAST ROOF GUYS!As ever we root around and find laughs, truths and a spot of the surprisingly moving… and occasionally things do get quite forensic.Products we dig into include (roughly in order):2001 – Intel Pocket Concert MP3 Player2002 – Toshiba DVD Player2002 – The Matrix DVD2002 – The Lord of the Rings DVD2002 – Gladiator DVD2002 – Monsters, Inc. DVD2003 – Entertaining cookbook by Victoria Blashford-Snell2004 – Baby Beethoven / Baby Van Gogh / Baby Mozart DVDs2004 – Children’s vegetarian recipe books2004 – Finger food book for babies & toddlers2004 – Brain games for babies2004 – Black & Decker drill2007 – Nigel Slater’s The Kitchen Diaries / Express-style recipe books2007 – The Fussy Eaters’ Recipe Book2007 – Preserved (home preserving cookbook)2007 – Christopher Hitchens’ God Is Not Great2009 – The French Laundry Cookbook2014 – I Hate Literary Agents (guide to getting published)2019/2020 – Saving Missy by Beth Morrey2020 – Pink rowing gloves2020 – Thames Path walking guide2020 – 11kg weighted blanket2020 – Harriet’s own novel, Blood Orange2020 – Jigsaw puzzles (lockdown purchases)Recent years – Poetry collectionsGot a question or a story from your own online shopping history?📧 Email us: tom@toasterpod.comFollow us for clips and behind-the-scenes:🎥 YouTube: @mymateboughtatoaster📸 Instagram: @toasterpod🎵 TikTok: @toasterpod📘 Facebook: @toasterpod Hosted on Acast.
