  • Love the show

    First off, I never leave reviews: I LOVE the show, have from day one…there’s always something truly fascinating to be gleaned … even when Suzy isn’t there to balance out the boys. However I have a sound complaint - I find it really difficult to hear Frankie’s bass/baritone voice compared with his co-hosts… sorry (before you wonder: yes I am neurodivergent) … but it’s bothering me for ages now and I’ve held onto the discomfort too long… otherwise: class!..also thanks for the non ad ridden content... more

  • Scots Rock!!!

    **update**

    Didn’t know what to expect with the D&D, Helm of Balathor? But I actually followed it and used my imagination so I enjoyed it. If I had friends I would likely get them to give D&D a try. Nice work.

    Loved Frankie since the first time they tried to cancel him, Susie since I saw her standup, and Chris since I realised that was his name… vast territory covered randomly is exactly my kinda chat… feels like you’re in a cafe listening to the Scots on the next table contemplating global anni... more
