  • Love Lauren, Hate Kirsty

    I love the podcast. I recommend the episodes with Lauren. The other host isn’t as good. I really enjoy the Ian Wright episode. Lauren is so descriptive, she doesn’t rush. Kirsty isn’t my preference

  • Not the same

    Have listened to this show for about 15 years but significantly reduced my listens since Lauren L took over, I think her style has improved a lot and some guests she does well with but sadly not the same and there are other really good interviewing shows where you learn more and it’s a more interesting listen. But every so often a good listen with a good guest
