When Pip Russell and Gemma Higley aren't busy finishing a Drama degree or working in a secondary school Autism department, they enjoy a good chinwag catching up on their weeks and recounting the weird and wonderful stories of two girls in their early twenties. And what better way to check in with each other than through creative word games, thoroughly judging other people's unpopular opinions and lots more. Each week their quirky friendship will show that as a pairing, they are one slice short of a loaf.

    Please Louise

    In this week's edition of One Slice Short of a Loaf, Pip and Gem introduce new alter egos in the form of 'MC Halloumi' and 'Pippa the Rappa' in their latest Slicemaster challenge. With a special lactose-themed task, Pip and Gem are challenged like never before! 3 word-week proves to be somewhat one-sided due to a twist of events and "Things that should be a thing" gives way to discussions over Body odour detectors and Pothole eradicators!

    Double digits Bloopers Special

    In honour of the first double digits episode of One Slice Short of a Loaf and to celebrate 10 weeks of podcasting, Gem and Pip reflect back on some of the more chaotic, wild and bonkers moments never before heard on the podcast! Discussions from this week include scams, 1960s children's television, how to properly greet your teachers and what the woman from 'Tom and Jerry' would buy from the supermarket. Included are first failed attempts at segments, fumbled words, battles with the elements and extra content that was too long to feature in previous episodes but most importantly, a whole lot of giggling.

    Russell Sprout

    In this week's Episode 9 of One Slice Short of a Loaf, Gem and Pip get philosophical as they discuss matters such as original thoughts, are there only 36 stories and are parsnips just carrots in yellow clothing? Other topics included in their regular segments include the art of flat-packing, Line of Duty, High School Musical, brown drinks and Finding Nemo. With unpopular opinions from grandparents and housemates, and a special telepathy-themed Wordplay, Episode 9 throws up more unconventional food habits and reveals just how 'Berkshire' the girls are.  Make sure to like and subscribe and share and follow @onesliceshortofaloaf on instagram
