"I nearly became a lady of the night" - Suzanne Paul

Shaan Singh and Sam Thomson from Kiwi band Drax Project join Suzanne Paul and Andrew Papas on Fork’s Sake to talk fatherhood, food fails and a near‑fatal drive home after a New Year’s show.

From sipping kombucha (with mixed reactions) to revisiting the band’s gross first flat, the boys reflect on the early days of living, cooking, and surviving together. Shaan opens up about fatherhood and how becoming a dad has reshaped his relationship with food, routine, and life on the road, while Sam reveals just how seriously he takes a supermarket aisle.

Things take a sharp turn when they re‑live a near head‑on crash after a New Year’s show, a moment that forced them to confront just how quickly everything can change.

🍽️ On the menu this episode:
Kombucha opinions (and regrets)
Life, food, and creativity after becoming a parent
The dirtiest flat Drax Project ever lived in
The near‑fatal drive home that shook the band
And… who is truly the worst cook in Drax Project?

🎧 Chapters:
00:00 Season Two Kickoff & Meeting Drax Project
04:00 Kombucha, Touring Life & New Music
09:00 Fatherhood, Food & Growing Up
18:00 Cooking Confessions & Flat From Hell
27:00 Rituals, Food on the Road & Band Life
36:40 The Near‑Crash After New Year’s
44:30 One Last Meal & Final Reflections

There’s a new episode out first thing every Tuesday.
