Love the show and the dynamics between Esther and Giles. While so many other shows are bland and overly sensitive, Giles does not censor his opinions and courageously battles consensus views.

One criticism: Esther really should be mentioned in the show’s title.

Dreadful man.
Very much enjoy the dynamic of this podcast and the fact Giles will say what some might be thinking even if it isn’t what is deemed to be to be socially acceptable these days. I try not to listen to a lot of current news, it’s so depressing and can make me anxious, but Giles and Esther present it in such a way that I am drawn into listening.
Giles is so sexy. I DO have an a level in bj’s fyi.
