  • Birmingham Six

    The Birmingham Six was very interesting and informative. The perfect showcase for Matt Forde's repertoire of accents : Northern Irish, Lancashire , Brummie and even West country. A treat for the ears.

  • Love it

    This is by far my favourite podcast. The jokes between Matt and Alice and giggling makes me lol, I absolutely love it. They’re serious when they need to be but I haven’t laughed as much listening to them. I’ve subscribed to wondery so I can binge listen, I’m so happy that I have another 40 to catch up 😄
