From elite flavour combos to slightly unhinged chocolate inventions, they sort the must-buys from the absolute monstrosities (and settle a very heated debate about raisins along the way). But just as things are feeling wholesome… a listener email completely derails the eggcelent chat. Think: a 20-hour coach journey, a locked toilet, and a truly unforgettable snowy field incident that leaves both of them completely traumatised. Safe to say… this one is not for the faint-hearted, but it’ll crack you up ;) Follow Shouldn’t Laugh But on all social platforms: @shouldntlaughpod Laura - @thatlaurasmyth Carmen - @carmenshouldntlaugh Listen to Main Episodes every Tuesday, and Watch Main Episodes every Thursday on Global Player and YouTube.
