We're BACK!This week on the show, Tom is joined by broadcaster, drummer, weather presenter and all-round national treasure, Owain Wyn Evans.With no Amazon account to speak of, we're diving into Owain's eBay history instead - and WHAT a journey it turns out to be.From vintage stage lighting that once toured with rock royalty, to a £300 Britney Spears microphone purchased after a few drinks, Owain reveals the gloriously nerdy purchases that have followed him throughout his life.Along the way we discover how drumming helped him survive a difficult school life, the extraordinary story behind becoming "The Drumming Weatherman", raising millions for Children in Need with his Drumathon, and why a glitter ball on a winch is apparently an absolutely essential household item.There's also vintage furniture, weather presenter fashion tips, life in Wales, life on national radio, and a purchase so utterly ridiculous that it could only bring this episode to a close...An adult costume. A VERY adult costume.WHAT a guest he is - funny, warm and surprisingly revealing about all sorts.
