  • What a question!

    This one question single-handedly proved how incredibly witty Claire Hooper is.

    “If you are so wise to our human nature, amplifying coincidences, disregarding insignificance, if you don’t truly believe in magic despite looking for it… How have you found true love?”

    W O W. 👏🤯

    Update; finally catching up on episodes and I genuinely thought Amy Ruffle couldn’t get any more adorable, but she did. 🤩

  • Brilliant.

    Love the interview style, love the content and the way it’s conducted. This isn’t a compliment sandwich, but please fix the audio levels. It’s far to quiet on the playback. Keep up the great content, and even though it’s super hard to hear, it’s still a 5 star show for me

  • Great concept!

    This quickly became a new favorite of mine. Comedians sharing past misdeeds with a delightful host, what’s not to like?
