  • Very funny

    Love the podcast, very entertaining, but please be more descriptive for listeners. Feels like we’re missing out and lot of stuff lost as we’re not able to see what’s visually going on. I love listening before bed but sometimes I don’t know what’s going on because they’ve obviously forgotten about people who are listening and not watching 😢

  • Tennis, anyone?

    I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as hard as when I watched Rob, Romesh and Andy. Is there any way to watch Andy Centre Stage in the US? Thank you for making me laugh and feel better.

Are you getting BAD ADVICE from an over zealous PRODUCER!? Who desperately wants to go VIRAL! You’re in your forties mate.. stop SHOUTING!
