    Love the show. However, the randomly inserted ads make it unlistenable on this platform.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love the show! I’m not even sure how much control they have over at placements…

    that being said, I would love to not hear another mattress advertisement at maximum eardrum destroying volume. I feel like I listen to podcasts at a normal comfortable and should not writhe in pain and agony at the sound of a mattress advertisement. When I say it’s loud, I mean LOUD. Think sonic boom from a blast leveling a pristine forest loud.

    Again, I love the show. I also love my hearing.

  • Best news/comedy YouTube channel out there. It's like if John Oliver was on speed/LSD/whatever isn't his usual pint of bitter and packet of crisps. Podcast is less funny, more about keeping up to date with the last few days' political happenings, and I basically agree with pretty much everything they say so I find it quite... em.... reassuring I guess. The world owes a debt of thanks to Warmbo (the creator of and brains behind the show)
