The podcast was launched in 2021 as Three Bean Salad by comedians Benjamin Partridge, Mike Wozniak and Henry Paker.[1] The format of the show, described as a "conversational podcast",[2] has the three comedians "riff on a different theme" each episode that have been sent in by listeners.[3] Topics can vary, and have included biscuits,[4] urban myths, whales, pencils, and time travel.[5]
The podcast is interspersed with jingles created by Partridge, which mark recurring segments, such as listener emails or frequently used topics such as the United States and flightless birds. Many episodes end with a different listener-submitted cover version of the show's theme tune with the regular jingles occasionally replaced by listener cover versions.[6]
The podcast has branched out into occasional live performances, such as at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival,[7] and the London Podcast Festival.[8]
Writing in November 2022, Patricia Nicol in The Sunday Times described it as a "Pythonesque cult comedy show" and called it a "shaft of daft light amid the gloom."[9] India Rakusen in The List in July 2023, described it as "absolute nonsense; it’s utterly ridiculous and wonderful for it."[10] Rufus Hound told Pod Bible Mag in January 2024, that it has him "regularly laughing inappropriately on public transport".[11]
In March 2024, it won in the Best Podcast category at the Chortle Awards.[12][13][14]
