  • Enjoyable insights

    I have only just started listening to this series am already enjoying it.

    I took 1 star off the rating as the audio could ideally be ‘normalised’. Richard’s voice is a lot lower in volume than Jules which means I have to keep adjusting the volume while listening especially when I am in the car or on a train. Otherwise, worth a listen for sure.

  • Could be better

    I could listen to Richard E Grant read the phone book, but I wish this was a little more engaging. Feels a little stilted. Maybe they will find their rhythm.

    Also, the audio mix could be much better - it’s sooo quiet particularly on Richard’s audio! Have to keep turning it up and down.
