What better way to celebrate hot weather, expensive travel, annoying tourists, relentless children and lost sunglasses than by dropping a little cheeky Best of Series 8 on your feed. It's to cheer you up and help you on your merry sunburnt way. Here you'll find some of the highlights of what's been going on this series where once again we've ploughed through people's purchases in order to find their true life stories waiting in between the receipts. We've got big buys (why did Katherine Ryan get SO much vinegar?) and we've got tiny buys such as Stephen Merchant's charming gift of a little toy plane for his fully grown, adult, parents. There's just something about looking across an entire span of someone's Amazon Purchase History that brings out their life's highest points - such as Marcus Brigstocke flying through the air on a tv show knowing he was about to catastrophically break his leg. But we often find life's most terrifying and lowest moments too - a simple weighing scales bought by Emmanuel Sonubi was, it turns out, the first thing he bought after he very nearly died of a massive heart attack.It's a rollercoaster ride, this shopping snooping business. Thanks again for listening and see you a bit later on in the year!

Here we are then - the end of series 8! And what a way to climax with Stephen Merchant. Perfect sentence, that. Enjoy another romp through a purchase history which takes in toilet brushes, tiny planes and huge TV shows.

Look everyone it's the brilliant Katie Norris! Funny, feline friendly and frank - it's another glorious fact finding memoir involving a lot of products bought on Amazon. Highlights this week include a cage, a map and a wand. And much, much more. Katie is doing Edinburgh this year so if you're up there make sure you check out her show. She's ace. Go see her before she's obscenely famous!

It's Dr Ranj look! And he's only gone and allowed us to have a nose through his Amazon purchase history. Prepare for a story of medicine vs art, hair vs grooming and why Shane Richie vs Dick? There is much you'll love in this episode, which will shortly be up on our YouTube so subscribe while you're there. It's miraculously free. And thanks again to the glorious wonder that is Dr Ranj Singh. A man of medicine and musical theatre. What a combo. You can go and see him live in & Juliet now.

This week it’s the turn of superstar radio DJ Kat Shoob to let her co-host, and host of this podcast, Tom Price into her Amazon account. Prepare yourself for stories of unread books, crystals and a seriously neglected telescope. Also - and this is a first - an actual Spice Girl pops up at the end. It’s very exciting.
