Who's a good little piggy? You are! But also, Percy is. Today's topic is Percy Pigs, the beloved Marks & Spencer gummy candy that has captured the nation's hearts, and now that I say that it sounds kind of stupid, huh? We brought in our friend Mattie Lubchansky, host of the podcasts No Gods No Mayors and Temporal Culture War, to talk about her relationship with the UK and the time she touched the Rosetta Stone, plus we discuss Percy Pigs and their very strange weird counterparts, rip-offs, and German (?!) origins. Also, we meet the Chief Mouser of Downing Street, and we decide what we'd call other animal-shaped sweeties. Pre-order Mattie's new book, Simplicity, which comes out July 29!
