Percy Pigs with Mattie Lubchansky
Who's a good little piggy? You are! But also, Percy is. Today's topic is Percy Pigs, the beloved Marks & Spencer gummy candy that has captured the nation's hearts, and now that I say that it sounds kind of stupid, huh? We brought in our friend Mattie Lubchansky, host of the podcasts No Gods No Mayors and Temporal Culture War, to talk about her relationship with the UK and the time she touched the Rosetta Stone, plus we discuss Percy Pigs and their very strange weird counterparts, rip-offs, and German (?!) origins. Also, we meet the Chief Mouser of Downing Street, and we decide what we'd call other animal-shaped sweeties. Pre-order Mattie's new book, Simplicity, which comes out July 29!Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for a bonus episode each week!

Greggs with Nick Wiger
Wow! Is what our guest Nick Wiger would say about this, because that's one of his things! The host of Doughboys and Get Played joins us to talk about Greggs, Britain's biggest fast food chain (we're pretty sure, anyway, and we don't care if we're wrong). We explore the sausage roll obsession, look at Greggs' very mid-looking other menu items, and talk about their brief attempt to open cafes with an Upscale Greggs Experience. Plus, Subway's seasonal hot cross bun and Libby's Game, which this week is called Try That In A Small Town. Did she come up with the name first and work backwards? She'll never tell...Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for a bonus episode each week!

Mr Blobby with Demi Lardner
Blobby blobby blobby! Is what Mr. Blobby would say about this episode, because it's the only thing he can say. Yep, this episode's topic is Mr. Blobby, with Demi Lardner—comedian, streamer, and the true Third Bird of What's All This Then. Who is Mr. Blobby, why does he look like that, and does his 1993 Christmas Number 1. Hit "Mr Blobby" lowkey go? Find out here! We also have the debut of what many people are calling a "totally plausible podcast segment," British Thought of the Week, which today concerns scandal at the World Conker Championships, and Libby's Game, a Tesco review guessing game we're calling What's This Review Then?

Tesco with Jesse Farrar
It's the first episode! We couldn't think of a better first guest than our friend Jesse Farrar, who co-hosts the podcast Your Kickstarter Sucks and the Go Off Kings on Twitch, and whose two primary areas of expertise are hosting successful media properties and going to the store. We explain what the podcast is and, after reciting some New Podcast Affirmations, we dive into Tesco, Britain's largest supermarket. We talk ideal meal deals, read a review of a pizza with a "worrying smell," and begin the very silly project of ranking everything about Britain.Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for a bonus episode each week!
