Owain Wyn Evans Bought WHAT for 65p?!

About this episode

Tom Price interviews Owain Wyn Evans about his unique online shopping history and personal experiences.

We're BACK! This week on the show, Tom is joined by broadcaster, drummer, weather presenter and all-round national treasure, Owain Wyn Evans. With no Amazon account to speak of, we're diving into Owain's eBay history instead - and WHAT a journey it turns out to be. From vintage stage lighting that once toured with rock royalty, to a £300 Britney Spears microphone purchased after a few drinks, Owain reveals the gloriously nerdy purchases that have followed him throughout his life. Along the way we discover how drumming helped him survive a difficult school life, the extraordinary story behind becoming "The Drumming Weatherman", raising millions for Children in Need with his Drumathon, and why a glitter ball on a winch is apparently an absolutely essential household item. There's also vintage furniture, weather presenter fashion tips, life in Wales, life on national radio, and a purchase so utterly ridiculous that it could only bring this episode to a close... An adult costume. A VERY adult costume. WHAT a guest he is - funny, warm and surprisingly revealing about all sorts. As ever we're heading into the things we buy and coming out with ALL SORTS. --- 🌐 Website  📺…
