Our Editor's Take

On the podcast Three Bean Salad, each episode is a surprise. The listeners decided what topic the hosts would discuss. But Mike Wozniak, Henry Paker, and Benjamin Partridge don't get the chance to do any research. The UK-based hosts receive the subject at the beginning of the installment. Then, they proceed to make up a conversation and analysis about anything from hats to goblins. As the three are comedians, they manage to make any topic entertaining. Thanks to their impeccable improvisation skills, the hosts create amusing banters. Usually, the discussions veer from the main focus, but they still offer good fun.

The hosts of Three Bean Salad have decades of comedy experience between them. Wozniak has appeared on many UK sitcoms, sketch shows, and panel shows. Those include Walliams & Friend, Josh, Taskmaster, Drunk History, Man Down, and others. Paker is a comedy writer for shows like Mock the Week, Comic Relief, Would I Lie To You, and many others. As a stand-up comedian, he has appeared at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe since 2008. Paker also received the Comedian of the Year award from the Leicester Mercury. Partridge is a prolific comedy writer as well. He's contributed his work to TV, radio, and live shows. Some of his most notable projects include Here Be Dragons, Ankle Tag, Newsjack, and The Now Show.

The topics in Three Bean Salad are sometimes wild, weird, and even mundane. While one episode talks about submarines, another explores the color purple. There are also installments examining condiments, flags, and castles. Wozniak, Paker, and Partridge begin each discussion with their personal knowledge. But not too long after, they find themselves debating completely different matters. For instance, one episode starts talking about pagans. Then, it somehow continues into chats about jet skis, golf, and the moment the universe began. Another episode debates immortality, tuna salad, and clown eggs.

New Three Bean Salad episodes debut weekly.
