Good guests, irritating host who has done no research.
What an amazing podcast! I love that Seann pulls all the right threads to bring out the emotions and back story of the guests. I’ve got such a deeper understanding and respect for comedy after listening to this. Would 100% recommend.
I was put onto this podcast through an Instagram clip served up to me. I luckily remembered it later and climbed into bed to listen to Harry Hill as never before. I’ve now listened to a couple and Seann Walsh is lost to Saturday night TV, because he is the best interviewer and just bloke having a chat since Wogan. It’s that good.
Great questions, full of insight and sensitivity but wrapped up in humour. Equally important- excellent sound quality !
Have always enjoyed Saenn’s comedy, had no idea he was such a natural interviewer. He asks really insightful questions and is genuinely interested in his guests.
