About this listen

 Since When…? is a curious, funny, and occasionally existential podcast where Warren Hance overthinks the ordinary. Each episode starts with a small question — Since when did hash browns become part of the full English? — and unravels it into something bigger: class, nostalgia, globalisation, the way culture quietly changes without us noticing.Blending humour, history, and a bit of sociology, Warren digs into everyday British life — food, pubs, slang, suburbia — finding meaning in the mundane and poetry in the pub grub.If you like the wit of Blindboy, the cultural reflections of Louis Theroux, and the chaos of a café at 8 a.m., this one’s for you.

    Since When Did Hash Browns Become Part of the Full English?
    Nov 2 2025

    In the debut episode of Since When…?, I take aim at a cultural mystery that’s been staring at us from every breakfast plate in Britain the humble, joyless hash brown.

    What began as an American diner side has somehow infiltrated the sacred full English breakfast, replacing fried bread, bubble and squeak, and even dignity. Warren dives deep into how it happened tracing its rise from 19th-century New York to 1990s hotel buffets and explores what this beige invasion says about globalisation, class, and the slow homogenisation of British culture.

    Expect humour, history, and a little existential grease.
