  • Banter & Accents

    This is my go to show. Where else can you find two hosts putting on incredible in their badness foreign accents and giggling at their perfectly silly jokes and observations.

    I just love the host interaction, and then the actual content is expertly produced, researched, and told.

    It really is a 10/10 show.

    Fantastic podcast, I have listened to almost all of them and really enjoyed the stories and also the banter.

    However, I must say that I thought the last one about April was poorly written. She was always on the verge of tears or unable to breath and it seemed extremely contrived and over feminised.
