Greg Epstein—The Transformation 57:47

1+ y ago57:47

57:47

Sasha Sagan talks with humanist rabbi GREG EPSTEIN about an ancient tradition they both participate in each year, with themes and messages they find both inspiring and abhorrent.

53:37

Sasha Sagan talks to author and linguist AMANDA MONTELL about our strange habit of communicating with patterns of vibrations emanating from our faces. We’ll also hear from linguist DR.

Katie Lowes and Adam Shapiro—The Rock 51:53

1+ y ago51:53

51:53

Sasha Sagan sits down with actors KATIE LOWES and ADAM SHAPIRO to explore a common custom that seems rooted in antiquity but is younger than Cher.

45:32

Sasha Sagan talks to constitutional attorney ANDREW SEIDEL and professor of criminology DR. MEREDITH ROSSNER about an area of life that we don't usually think of as being full of ritual. But it's saturated with it—for better and worse.By Sasha Sagan/OnlySky Media

41:45

Why do we do things the way we do them?

Welcome to Strange Customs with Sasha Sagan 2:09

1+ y ago2:09

2:09

Why do we do things the way we do them? We take on customs from our ancestors, act them out, then teach them to the next generation, often without thinking. But when we take a step back, they can seem bizarre, arbitrary...and sometimes, profoundly beautiful. Join Sasha Sagan, author of "For Small Creatures Such as We," as she talks to smart, funny,…

Episode 20 - Sub Cult 46:22

5y ago46:22

46:22

And so we reach the end of another sandwich odyssey. From po’boys to cubans, we’ve come a long way from that dodgy Subway pilot episode so it would be rude not to end the season with another blockbuster ‘wich. That’s right, its time we talked about Sub Cult. We’ve been eyeing up these award winning subs for a while and, with their first brick and m…

Episode 19 - The Rib Man 43:40

5y ago43:40

43:40

For the penultimate episode of Season 2 we went in search of the mythical ‘Rib Man’. Known to frequent Brick Lane Market for a select few hours on Sunday afternoons, the Rib Man has become an elusive but legendary figure on the London food scene; a street food Sasquatch if you will. Eager to get our hands on his famed rib meat sandwich (with signat…

Episode 18 - Bodega Rita's 41:45

5+ y ago41:45

41:45

We’re reaching the end of Season 2, so its only reasonable we start throwing out the big hitters from London’s sandwich scene. This time, we snuck down to Bodega Rita’s in Coal Drops Yard, London’s latest Instagram ready shopping district (there are far too many fountains here), to take on their popular Friday Sandwich Meal Deal. Inspired by New Yo…

Episode 17 - Max's Sandwich Shop 38:21

5+ y ago38:21

38:21

It's the big one, a real heavyweight B2S title contender. For episode 17 we finally got our act together and ventured down to Finsbury Park to visit Max's critically acclaimed sandwich institution. Known for his quirky, ballsy and inventive recipes, Max is seen as a sandwich pioneer, the Steve Jobs of sandwich creation if you will, so we've been it…

Episode 16 - Dip & Flip 30:55

30:55

Episode 16 - Dip & FlipFor our 16th instalment, we took on Dip & Flip’s acclaimed gravy soaked roast meat sandwich in arguably the messiest episode to date. These guys have been taking South West London by storm with their no holds barred approach to the ‘French Dip’ - a roast beef baguette served alongside a gluttonous pot of dipping gravy. We don…

Episode 15 - Plaquemine Lock 37:55

5+ y ago37:55

37:55

Episode 15 sees us head North (to Islington) only to go South… Deep South to a Louisiana inspired gastro-pub. Plaquemine Lock sits quaintly by the Regents Canal and has been serving up authentic Louisiana inspired cajun food for a good few years now. It was recently awarded a Michelin Bib (me neither) and is one of the few places in London where yo…

Episode 14 - The Wigmore 38:28

5+ y ago38:28

38:28

With Deeney’s setting the toastie bar high last season, it's fair to say our next contender to the toastie thrown has a lot of work to do. However, this isn’t a normal toastie, this is an XXL stovetop 3 cheese wonder, hand crafted by chefs at one of London’s most prestigious hotels. When B2S headed to the Wigmore, a posh pub decked in emerald green…

Episode 13 - Monty’s Deli 33:03

5+ y ago33:03

33:03

Our second salt beef voyage (see ep 5 for the first) took us to Monty’s Deli in Hoxton, a place so good its been likened to the iconic New York pastrami institution Katz’s Deli. This place has been dishing out critically acclaimed mixed meat Reubens for years now so its only fair we finally chalked it off our list. You’ll be pleased to know Sam did…

Episode 12 - Papi’s Kitchen 29:55

5+ y ago29:55

29:55

Episode 12 sees us size up our first Cuban sandwich at Papi’s Kitchen in Soho. We walk past this stall on Rupert Street almost every day and the smells, coupled with the lengthy queues, piqued our interest. Owned by the charismatic Cleb Mendonca, this place has only been up and running for a matter of months but comfortably outshines the competitio…

Episode 11 - Hawksmoor 36:35

5+ y ago36:35

36:35

That’s right, after unprecedented demand (i.e. Sam’s Mum wondering why we’d stopped publishing), we’re back with a new season of Between 2 Slices. For this run of 10 episodes, we’ve loosened the purse strings a little and splashed out on some seriously gourmet wiches. We begin at Hawksmoor, a steakhouse institution, a ‘special occasion’ kinda place…

Episode 10 - Deeney's 41:03

5+ y ago41:03

41:03

Packed with as much drama as an Eastenders Xmas Special we're giving you the season finale you’ve all been waiting for: a Scottish themed Burns Night Special. From banh mi to Philly cheese, Season 1 has been a wild and tasty ride, but we’ve decided to go out with a bang on Burns Night and review a much revered Haggis toastie from the critically acc…

Episode 9 - The Monocle Café 32:36

5+ y ago32:36

32:36

Not that Philly Cheesesteaks can’t be classy, but for episode 9 we’ve decided to push the pod into more sophisticated territory by taking a visit to the ever so stylish Monocle Cafe. Opened by Monocle in 2013, this place has everything you’d expect from a cafe run by a business lifestyle magazine in well-to-do-Marylebone: minimalistic design, rich …

Episode 8 - Banh Mi Bay 26:46

5+ y ago26:46

26:46

The banh mi baguette has gradually become a ubiquitous presence on the London lunch scene so its only right that we squeeze a banh mi review into Season One of B2S. For episode 8 we wandered down to the appropriately named Banh Mi Bay for some French-Vietnamese fusion in Fitzrovia. From coriander cutting advice to Sam overcoming his fear of pâté, t…

The Between 2 Slices Xmas Special 2018 41:13

41:13

It's Christmas! So what better way to celebrate than by hitting the high street and reviewing 6 of the most celebrated festive creations between 2 slices. For our Xmas special we've altered the formula slightly and ranked 6 sandwiches by taste, value, structure and the potency of cranberry sauce. Expect lengthy stuffing debate, Xmas Trivia and high…

Episode 7 - Camisa & Son 28:12

6y ago28:12

28:12

For our 7th episode, we strolled down to Old Compton Street to visit a Soho institution: the historic Camisa & Son. As one of the oldest and most celebrated Italian delis in London, its fair to say we were looking forward to this one. Did it meet our expectations? Did Sam struggle with basic Italian pronunciation? Will Greg finally compare a sandwi…

Episode 6 - Bodeans 30:27

6y ago30:27

30:27

Another decidedly meaty edition of Between 2 Slices (we will eventually try and do some veggie stuff soz) sees us take on a signature sandwich designed by the BBQ buffs at Bodeans. For this episode we sampled their Soho Special (which is an innuendo in itself) - a creation once heralded as ‘London’s Best Sandwich’ by Capital FM. The meat was smoky,…

Episode 5 - Tongue & Brisket 28:03

6y ago28:03

28:03

Salt beef is trending, salt beef is ‘in’, salt beef is the new black. From bagels to reubens, salt beef is more or less omnipresent in any well respected sandwicherie, so we thought, after 4 episodes, it was only fair to turn our attention to a salt beef specialist. Enter Tongue & Brisket, a salt beef sandwich joint steeped in history; a place wher…

Episode 4 - Passyunk Avenue 25:31

6y ago25:31

25:31

You’d think we’d stop recording by now but no, we are serious about this, there are now 4 episodes of ‘Between 2 Slices’. In this episode we walk a bit further than usual and take a trip to the unpronounceable ‘Passyunk Avenue’; an American “dive bar” beneath the BT tower, famous for its Philly Cheesesteaks. So after googling the questionable ingre…

Episode 3 - Fernandez & Wells 24:38

6y ago24:38

24:38

For our third instalment, we returned to Holborn to check out an acclaimed breakfast sandwich at ‘Fernandez & Wells’ - a fancy London millennial magnet responsible for some of the finest brunch in town. The pudding was black, the eggs were fried, the bread was sour and we definitely turned up way too late and awkwardly missed the breakfast menu.See…
