Talking Rubbish - The Recycling Podcast · 105. The free food app rescuing millions of meals, with Tessa Clarke from Olio · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

And quite often it's, does anyone need these courgettes, comes up on my sort of neighbourhood WhatsApp group.

But can you just explain to me, because...

What exactly does the app do and sort of how does it work?

Presumably you log in and have a profile and that kind of stuff?

Oh, yes.

We talked about cups and all sorts of waste, not just food waste, but obviously food waste on those sets.

Yeah, and I suppose I'm interested in the pounds and pence, given how expensive my average food bill is these days when I'm going to the supermarket.

It's store by store basis.

Yeah, it's one of those things where actually trying to realize that all of these messages, sustainable messages, you know, we live in a bubble.

And certainly James and I, when we're on the mission, so to speak, to try and get the podcast out to people.
