Sweet Talk is a fortnightly podcast that explores the sweeter side of life!
Every two weeks gingerbread architect, Emily Garland (Maid of Gingerbread), and food historian, Tasha Marks (AVM Curiosities), discuss a different sweet product in depth - the first season covers biscuits, cereal, chocolate bars, sweets, cakes and ice cream!
There will be facts, stats, chat, misty eyed memories, historical facts and plenty of puns! Have they bitten off more than they can chew? Only time will tell - so, if you like nice puns and iced buns then this is the place for you.

EPISODE OVERVIEW
Episode 1 | BISCUITS
In our first episode Emily and Tasha are musing on all things biscuit based, exploring the history of these important yet oft overlooked heroes. We’ll be delivering some remarkable biscuit facts and settling some fierce debates around custard creams, Jaffa cakes and wafers.

Episode 2 | CEREAL
Tasha and Emily are back and this week they're entering the shadowy world of cereal - debating the relative strength of cereal Os, defending porridge's right to be classified as a cereal and discussing the frankly horrifying world of 80's cereals. The big question is will we ever get over the way Tasha eats cereal? only time will tell, but I imagine not…

Episode 3 | CHOCOLATE
It’s episode 3, which means we are now officially halfway through the first series! This week we are taking a delightful deep dive into chocolate (imagine that). So, of course, Tasha and Emily plan a European road trip, disagree strongly about favourite chocolate bars and nearly come to fisticuffs over that seminal debate… is a flake just a naked twirl? ?

Episode 5 | CAKE
It's our penultimate episode of the first series, and this week Tasha and Emily are all about that CAKE. Now some people might expect a lengthy and thoughtful discussion about Jaffa cakes and their place in the cultural imagination of baked goods but NO! Nary a mention of them passes the illustrious lips of our stalwart presenters. What, pray tell, can they find to discuss instead? Download the episode now to find out!

Episode 6 | ICE CREAM
I scream, you scream, Emily and Tasha scream for ice cream! It's the final episode of season one, so we are curling up on the sofa with a tub of ice cream and eating all of our feelings. Emily and Tasha are waffling on about their weird ice cream related careers, sharing Em's mum's forays into homemade ice cream (#jealous) and confessing their favourite flavours- it will surprise no-one that neither are normal....
