Disappointing

It was a good listen, originally, but it’s been borderline awful for too long lately. Subscribing allows you access to even more mediocre content. It’s a shame.

Sometimes funny, sometimes interesting always charming

Kathy Burke is a legend - the exchanges with her guests are so funny and revealing and smart - fantastic show!

Ed Gamble

The Ed Gamble episode is brilliant. But who’s going to tell James Acaster the news? He’s convinced himself Ed will live forever, and really won’t take take this well.

Serious fun on a serious subject

This pod is everything you want it to be. Silly, engaging, hilarious, a true gem among comedy podcasts.
