  • Love / Hate

    This is one of my fave podcasts! Of course everyone has less positive elements to their character, but to be a generally revered icon & have those flaws exposed & explored is irresistibly good listening. I relished the undoing of John Lennon & Ghandi, but when it came to my own hero, Prince, I was devastated by his alleged behaviour. Perhaps we should only listen to eps that take down icons we already believe to be too sanctimonious…

  • Russell brings the comedy but need expert guests

    This podcast would be amazing if they had expert guests. Russell is very funny but the comedic guests give it a too many cooks in the kitchen vibe with ‘i’m the funniest’ being the overall theme. Bring on some experts please, might learn something that’s not on google.

  • Too many not cute sound effects

    This is intensely difficult to listen to with all of the nonsense. Trying so hard, it isn’t funny.

  • Hit and miss

    Whether I like it depends entirely on the guests. This week’s offering is unlistenable with Darren Harriott spouting absolute rubbish, had to abandon it. The other guests sounded like they could happily have done the same but were contractually bound to listen to his drivel. Thankfully I could switch off…
