  • Preferred the old format

    Enjoyed the old format that ran when the tv show was off air. This new style just isn’t drawing me in. Same people but now I’m just getting bored when I listen - their wit can’t have changed so it must be how they’re being told to present.

  • Just not funny

    Love the TV show but this is a disappointing listen seemingly trading off the show’s name. Slow paced and just not funny. Unsubscribed. Page 94 The Private Eye podcast is a much more informed & entertaining take on the news.

  • Light and entertaining

    Started listening when I couldn’t take any more political news for the day... It was exactly what I needed. Made me chuckle several times.
