  • Funniest thing I’ve ever listened to

    I am a huge podcast fan but this is absolutely my favourite. It is- quite literally- dangerously funny (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost choked on a drink because of something funny that was said). They have such a unique premise and because of the wide range of topics they cover; there is something for everyone. I highly recommend to anyone needing a good laugh or is interested in four people’s views on a random topic of their choice. Just a warning though, going off topic is inevita... more

  • It’s a Legitimate Like from me

    So glad I found this podcast, quickly turning into one of my favourites. Brilliant mix of hosts, who often fail to take the topics or each other seriously, which only adds to the delightful madness that is LL. Michael’s dubious quizzes at the beginning of each episode & Hugh’s musical recaps are the cherry on top. Highly recommend!

  • Entartaining & Witty

    Doesn't matter the topic, if you know what they are talking about or not: each episode is funny and I guarantee you will enjoy it. Highly recommended
