  • History not accurate

    Not an accurate history podcast and many R18 themes. Especially from Charlie who is sparse but offensive

  • Family bonding

    Me and my cave-diving dad have been able to rebuild our strained relationship by listening to this podcast together. He doesn’t quite like the pedo jokes but loves the stuff about Kier Starmer. He thinks Fin would be great on Have I Got News For You.

    Every episode is 5/5. I can’t listen in the gym or while exercising because it’s just too funny.

    I’ve listened to every episode and some twice or three times; don’t agree with some of what they say but it’s tongue in cheek and some episodes are excellent.
