I started listening at the beginning of the year, but I’ve now gone back and started again from 2019, when they moved to the BBC. I’m currently on the episodes from 2021, and it’s fascinating hearing them talk about life five years ago and realising how much has changed since then.

Two longtime UK comedians host a warm, freewheeling chat built on rapid banter, self-deprecation, and a shared affection for culture, travel, and everyday absurdities. Episodes mix personal stories, fantasy segments, audience games, and occasional guest spots—from endurance athletes and musicians to writers—delivering a lively, improvisational vibe with a strong sense of community around Welsh identity, pop culture riffs, and live-show anecdotes.
