  • Fantastic show!

    Absolutely love the show. Missing Neighbours SO MUCH, so having Tak & Matty here once a week is such a joy- and that’s not to mention the guests! All our favourites, with wonderful behind-the-scenes stories from the show, but also it’s been really amazing to hear about their work pre- and post-Neighbours. Let’s hope the show returns in some form or another eventually, but in the meantime, Tak & Matty are doing such a fan service here- huge thanks to you both and to each & every one of your fabul... more

    When something is part of your life for 40 years and in my opinion, wrongly taken away, it leaves a big void.

    These guys have really provided a platform, that by seeing all the faces, (watch on YouTube) you feel the Neighbours story continues. So once after week we get to see thre... more

    A week is along time waiting for this fantastic podcast to come along. Matty & Tak are funny, down to earth and great interviewers. As a fan of Neighbours since it first started and then in the last 10yrs I love that you are keeping the show & its actors in the spotlight. Great work guys.
