Easy listening on a walk which is exactly what I’m looking for - some of the episodes really make me chuckle!
Love all four of the presenters but fav has to be Emerald ;) who creates the most creative games!
I try to listen to multiple streams of things, but this lot have their heads in the clouds and their nose up the arse of the free dessert club.
Sounds like a chat in a 6th form common room rather than a podcast. Everyone talking over each other and laughing all the time. Seems like a competition about who can say the cleverest thing. Not for me.
As a senior there are times when you need to hear young people just riffing. The lightning wit of this team is fantastic. Love this podcast
A very amusing companion to the TV series
