  • Relive year 9 every week!

    I have been listening to these three since time immemorial.

    Their ability to spin a yarn at an amazing grade 9 level is right where I need it!

    Telling tales of Grande Adventures, Stolen Treasures, and murder most foul!

    I have been overcome with palpitations several times while listening to their golden tonsils echoing in my ears.

    I implore you to listen, and feel yourself become entranced by the ambrosia of sound that is the DO GO ON Podcast.

  • Best way to listen.

    Have been a listener since the early days of the podcast.

    Great podcast when listened to this way. Skip the first 3 to 4 minutes and then, when they’ve finished the topic for the episode and say “now it is time for everyone’s favourite section of the podcast”, hit pause and go listen to something else.

    Would be 5 stars if it was edited like that.
