  • Such comforting listening

    I’ve just discovered this podcast (after listening to Margaret C-S on the Taskmaster podcast) and I’m loving going through the back catalogue. Margaret is witty and charming and such great company. Jess Fostekew talking about her crush on Gandalph made me snort tea! Katherine Parkinson crushing on Fred Flintstone?! Amazing. LOVE it. Thank you, MCS. Please keep them coming 🙏🏻
