  • Helps with my TOBS withdrawal

    I found this podcast because I needed more TOBS content. These two are great, I love their banter and rapport. Will listen to the Sanditon episodes next as I love that show too.

  • Charming!

    David and Lisa are a truly charming couple, who also have entertainment backgrounds, so they can give real insight into things like casting and costuming and acting. I came for TOBS, but have listened to many other episodes now and I’ve enjoyed them all.

  • Perfection!

    The way I laughed when David “sang” the intro and Lisa said, “Thank you, Mary. You’ve delighted us long enough,” I knew this was the podcast for me!
