Elis has Barrel of Eggs’ed it. Or more accurately, Isy has. The new car has met its match in the form of inner-London car park tight corners. But for a show that holds content on the highest pedestal possible, this can only be seen as a good thing. more

I love this it is such an amazing podcast and when I am bored or need to go to sleep or if I need to do something I put this on and it is so great I love this
I love the show, such a joy to listen to.
I know I’m late to the party - no one is sadder about that than me - but just as I thought I’d reached my limit with podcasts, I found these mad eggs 🥚 love ♥️
Due to the unique way BBC is funded I’m giving you 1 star for BBC balance, so no one gets fired.
Love you guys, long time listener. You rock!!!
