  • Not terrible

    Definitely feels homemade but hosts are earnest and it fills a need. Audio quality needs attention. You have to put volume to highest setting to hear the conversation but then you get eardrums destroyed by the ads. Really hoping things improve because there’s room for a pod like this in the mainstream

  • A nice surprise

    I’m not a huge listener of podcasts but I’m really glad I decided to click in the link of one of the reels that popped up in my IG feed. Who knew that a mix of a northerner rugby player and a Home Counties guy could be so funny. I think that it somehow normalises gays and removes the weirdness that some of the members of the community still face in everyday life. Carry on the good work!
