Episode Description

Kelechi Okafor once moved to Atlanta because she believed she and Ciara should be friends.

There was no meeting arranged. No address. Not really even a plan. She just… went to Atlanta.

Which gives you some idea of the energy of this week’s My Mate Bought a Toaster, especially with that being THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE SHOW.

Strap in.

Via Kelechi's online shopping history, Tom discovers an extraordinary trail through acting, personal training, pole dancing, homemade wigs, hot yoga, tarot, Muay Thai and a frankly alarming approach to protecting the radiator covers in her studio. Alarming and also completely ineffective.

There’s also the small matter of turning 40 and inventing geriatric twerking, why you should be VERY careful about the words “in perpetuity” in a contract, the joys of window-shopping death and why Kelechi is simply too sexy to give away the rights to her voice and likeness forever.

One online shopping history. One life story. It's another My Mate Bought a Toaster!

Also go and check out our friends at Great Oak Farm. They're ecologists and writers who specialise in the most BEAUTIFUL kids' books. Here's a link look. It's only a few quid and there's Apple Pay so it's done in seconds!

See you next week for more Toasted!
