Fork's Sake

Life without smell with Ben Barrington

Andrew's got post-show blues

Christchurch is a surprising food hub

Suzanne's dog is an instagram star

Suzanne returned to the medium psychic

A VIP experience with Split Enz

Do you know what a galette is?

It's been over six weeks since Suzanne Paul and Andrew Papas have sat at the Fork's Sake dinner table together and split a bottle of wine, so there's a lot to catch up about. 

Andrew's been on tour in Wellington and Christchurch in the stage show & Juliet. While Christchurch wasn't always as open to some of the show's themes, he's discovered the city's an under appreciated food hub. But now he's stoked to be home with his family. 

Meanwhile, Suzanne's dog Matty has become an instagram star and is too important for her! Plus she returned to her favourite 'medium psychic' to see if she can get back in contact with her late mum, had a VIP experience at the Auckland Split Enz show at Spark Arena, and has made an incredble discovery: galettes!

Chapters:

00:00 Andrew's got post-show blues
08:10 Christchurch is a surprising food hub
12:50 Suzanne's dog is an instagram star
14:05 Suzanne returned to the medium psychic
20:30 A VIP experience with Split Enz
26:45 Do you know what a galette is?

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