  • So sad it’s over

    I’ve honestly loved listening to this podcast - it’s genuinely made me laugh out loud more times than I can count. It’s brutal, offensive, and it won’t be to everyone’s taste - but I’ve learned a hell of a lot from it; the world we live in and the history of this country. Sure, I may not agree with everything they say, but it’s good to have assumptions and opinions challenged - and I’ve loved it. Frankie, Susie and Chris have a brilliant dynamic and their observations are just so well discussed... more

  • This is all I want from a podcast

    Dark humour, Scottish, political. Some football chat. Perfect for people who want intelligent company with none of the annoying corporeal bits.

    I’ve been listening to podcasts to save my sanity while getting ready for work and commuting for 10yrs. Is that a qualification? Not really but I am picky and highly judgemental, which should be?

    I love this show, been listening since the start and it’s a psychological highlight of my week - I don’t need your pity. I just need you to listen to it and... more
