  • Useless

    Clearly no idea what they're talking about ... they gave poor review for Clarkson's Farm, the most popular show on Amazon Prime!

  • Awful Hosts

    I've just listened to part of an episode and had to switch off. I didn't find the hosts likeable at all. If you're going to talk about a show, fair enough if you want to criticise the episodes you've watched, but do your research first and remember there could be fans of the show who've tuned in to your podcast specifically to hear about it.

  • Dreadful

    Stop with the fake laughing. I counted 60+ times the presenter said ‘you know’, ‘kind of’, ‘sort of’, and she needs to blow her nose as her sound is guttural and unpleasant. And stop showing off, ‘I’m going to The BAFTA’s”. It’s not clever, or cool, or kind.
