The Spinoff Book Out Loud: Madeleine Chapman on her chip life The Spinoff Book Out Loud

    • Comedy Interviews

In late March 2019, Madeleine Chapman spied her Everest, and she climbed it. "All 123 chip flavours in New Zealand ranked from best to worst" was one of The Spinoff's most viewed, and certainly most controversial posts of the year.

The response was so overwhelming that it needed its own response from the author. Here Spinoff editor Toby Manhire introduces Madeleine Chapman, who reads that post, which appears in The Spinoff Book alongside dozens of other entertaining, edifying and just plain eccentric pieces of writing, with the best of The Spinoff's first five years and a host of new material, as well as sumptuous new illustrations by Toby Morris.
