  • Frustrating

    A frustrating listen for any hardworking, law-abiding citizens. Getting all sorts of education in prison that I had to pay a hefty sum for! Seems they weren’t wrong about prison being a holiday camp.

  • I love this!

    I listened to the episode with Chris Atkins and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to listen to a truly authentic podcast with two ‘real’ people speaking unscripted and from the heart. Keep up the good work!
