I generally like this podcast, have listened for years, since Costello first started it.
Has unrivalled guests and access to all the big fights.

Used to be better when it had more structure. I love buncey but he interrupts people too much these days and it’s hard to listen to. The recent episode “interviewing” a clearly battered Carl Froch was a particular low point. Hope it gets back to previous glories!
