Sooshi Mango Podcast

Christmas lunch is such a process!

Hope you're feeling festive! There's nothing quite like a w0g Christmas - it's mainly centred around food but if you're from an ethnic family, you'll know there's so much more to it than that. The whole day is a process, and in today's episode we discuss all the parts of that process from waking up, to the Xmas spread, to the fights our uncles have over card games, to going to bed as full as a stuffed calamari!   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carlo’s stealing and smelling obsession

Carlo admits he is addicted to stealing a certain thing from hotel rooms, but it's not the typical stuff like shampoo and soap - so is this normal or is he a full blown thief?

Also, Andrew admits his disgusting phobia, and we have a brand new producer who is a fellow w0g!   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
