Noel Fielding
Season 4 Episode 2
As Noel’s stint as the new host of Bake Off starts this week, what better time than to revisit one of our most popular episodes.
This week Josie and Robin are joined by writer, performer and comedian Noel Fielding. There’s talk of Richard Braughtigan, Flann O’Brien and everyone’s favourite pop-up books. Also lots of stuff we had to bleep out so we didn’t get sued…
