I can’t quite pin down why I find these 3 so incredibly comforting. They’ve got me through all manner of stuff. Seems implausible, but completely true. Thank you all ❤️
What a funny show. I love the interactions between everyone and best of all apolitical.
I love them and I take it back, I no longer mind them doing so many pods. They are my boyfriends, I listen to them in bed every night. ❤️🌸 Ps if you don’t find John funny and sympathetic then really, do yourself a favour and avoid the podcast. The eccentricity and self indulgence is the whole point. To the complainers I just say: this is not for you.
