IAN MOORE: TOASTED!
Summary
In this episode of *Toasted*, Tom and Beth discuss their recent interview with writer Ian Moore, focusing on his disastrous camper van purchase and his cantankerous Airbnb hosting experiences. The conversation shifts to Beth’s intense house-cleaning spree, which she admits is a displacement activity while taking a break from writing her book. They also share listener stories about failed musical talents, disastrous impulse buys like a second-hand treadmill, and the universal struggle of trying to look French while abroad.
