  • Faded Glory

    There has been one new episode this year. I write this 07/08/26.

    A tragic decline to one of the best podcasts I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to.

    But it’s clear Bob no longer has the time or energy and Andy is forced to make compilations or re-runs of Athletico Parsnips episodes to scarcely pad out the £2.79 monthly subscription fee.

    You did phenomenally well over ten years, but unless there is a breath of life left in you then let it pass.

  • Put it to bed boys

    Like others have said, this was the finest piece of comedy around but it’s pretty obvious now that Bob doesn’t have the time to contribute like he did. Andy and Bob complement each other perfectly. It seems like Andy has been persevering with the podcast for a while with the little content that there is available. Re runs and compilations of previous shows are just taking the piss a bit of you’ve already heard everything and are also paying for it. Sad to say I’m unsubscribing. Do it or don’t do... more
