  • Sweet peeps

    All my podcasts are so intense/heavy/detailed... and then there is this one. Hosts are really sweet and relaxed. It’s not the point they were going for but that’s why I like them. Rambling old mates in a pod. They are always lighthearted, generous in their outlook and funny (well jess is). So I guess I’d say the opposite of say Kyle Sandilands. Recommend!

  • Great place to hear a report on an interesting topic while two friends politely listen without interrupting with dogshit riffs.

  • Hilarious!

    The waffling and bad jokes are the podcast. The facts are the secondary story line.

  • I really wanted to like this pod, but for every one minute of story telling they go off on a tangent of about 4 minutes of bad jokes. I tried listening to an episode with a topic I'm very interested in, and I told myself 20 min in that I would listen to this one episode and unsubscribe and be done with it. I couldn't get through even the first hour of a nearly 3 hour episode. Seriously, if they only left in the main story and good jokes, the episode probably would've been under an hour.
