Nov 13, 2026 45 min

Welcome and thank you for tuning in to Shackbaggerly. We are Katie Johnson and Howard Middleton, who, if you’re a fan of ‘’The Great British Bake Off,’’ you’ll probably remember Howard for his stolen custard! We love to find old recipe books, and the wonderful quirky pages within. It’s not all recipes, as Shackbaggerly does mean ‘anything loose and disorderly,’ so there’s daily happenings from where Howard is based in the Yorkshire city of Sheffield, and Katie near Ludlow, in rural Shropshire, often with a few smiles along the way. If you enjoy Shackbaggerly, and feel the urge to leave a review or share a comment on social media, if it’s spotted it, you will receive a ‘SAG’ (Shackbaggerly Ambassador Gal/Geezer) logo for you to use. Also, exciting news, as Shackbaggerly is now on WhatsApp, so you can leave a voice message or written one on the burner phone 07902 835604. Thank you as always for getting in touch, we love hearing from you on our Facebook and Instagram pages, and there have been some wonderful oldest kitchen items that have been posted. You can also email: podcast@theshackbaggerly.co.uk Until the next time, Katie & Howard x See you again next time, on Friday 27 November #foodpodcast #podcast #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #easylistening #humour #conversation #friends

The latest from Shackbaggerly, and as always, good pals Katie and Howard have been delving into the world of old recipe books, with one from 1957 catching Katie’s eye. Howard discovers a pie he’s never heard of, and is it just Sweden that uses hot vinegar in their Mayonnaise?! The Geoduck from the last episode caused quite a stir on Shackbaggerly’s Instagram and Facebook pages, and we predict this time, it might just be a certain photograph Howard mentions, that will do the same!

Another 2 weeks has gone by in the world of Shackbaggerly, so what have good pals Katie and Howard been up to? Well as usual, there’s always a story to tell! Old recipe books take centre stage, after all, this is a ‘foodie’ type podcast, and this time, it’s a meat fee offering from 1931. Howard has been watching the English Heritage videos again featuring a Cook from the past, and somehow this leads to the vintage comedy series ‘Are you being served?!’ A listener has been in touch with another weird Festival, this one featuring a Geoduck, but it’s not pronounced as you would think. Probably easier if you just listen! Hope you enjoy, and please keep spreading the word.

Here we are then, episode 3 of season 3, and it’s been a warm one in the UK, and as we all know, us Brits are neither designed, or indeed geared up for it. As always, Shackbaggerly lives up to its name with more loose and disorderly conversation from Katie and Howard, and even Madonna gets a mention, but suspect you’ll not be able to guess why! Old recipe books once again take centre stage, with Howard uncovering a new name, all thanks to the Queen’s son, Tom Parker-Bowles, thank you Tom. Howard’s cheek hamster gets named, thanks to the listener, and there are a couple of items that, if you live in Yorkshire, you might want to pick up. As always, Shackbaggerly on Facebook and Instagram is where you can contact Katie & Howard, or if you prefer, their email podcast@theshackbaggerly.co.uk and please remember to subscribe if you haven’t already, so you don’t miss a thing.

Thank you for your lovely messages following Shackbaggerly back on air, and us getting back together again after 2 years. It does feel as if we’ve never been away! As always, the conversation is loose and disorderly, and an insight into the cleaning regime of Howard, and how Katie looks like she should be retiring! A new occasional series is launched, with a name for it too, (including brackets), and we go back to the 1900s when we discuss a new Food Writer to us, Mrs De Salis, who is rather partial to ‘a la mode.’ You can follow and get in touch with Shackbaggerly on Instagram and Facebook, and also email podcast@theshackbaggerly.co.uk We’d also love it if you felt the urge to leave a review, been a while since we had one of those.
