  • I enjoy it a lot!

    This is a relaxed and lighthearted topical review put together by a group of people who seem to genuinely enjoy each other’s company. In such a dark and gloomy space this is welcome relief for me.

  • Smashing

    I absolutely love this podcast. The presenters are hilarious, really well informed and extremely likeable and they have an impressive knowledge of things that must have been in popular culture before they were born. I listen to a lot of very serious political podcasts and this is a welcome relief and something to look forward to every week.

  • 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.
