  • More please!

    I listened avidly to all of the podcasts in the "1st" series, having been promised that there would a second series. Nearly two years on.... and nothing. Even though Alix has said on another podcast that it was going to be soon, but that was ages ago! Could we have a second series? I think this podcast should be complusory listening to all teenagers!

  • Why has this amazing podcast been shelved since 2016?

    I’ve been binge listening to this while crocheting Christmas presents. I’ve heard the lot and I want more! Why is this not an ongoing podcast? It should be. It’s brilliant!
