- More Bob Mills Please
Not nearly enough Bob Mills on here these days. Martin Bayfield also doesn’t get enough appearances. Was better with Colin Murray for sure.

Apple Podcasts2Mr SnicksUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Had enough now I guess?
It’s nearly a week since the new episode has come out and I’ve still not listened to it. A show I’ve had as must listen to ever since Colin’s original run has fallen by the wayside. I like Rick on other shows but for some reason he rubs me the wrong way on this. Somehow he makes the show seem even more random and chaotic and I, personally, just don’t like it anymore. Maybe it’s the fact it isn’t live anymore that’s ruined it, it certainly makes a difference!
