    I don’t know what podcast some of these reviewers have been listening to but it wasn’t this one.

    The presenters are great, know what they’re talking about, and you can feel them becoming closer friends as the podcast progresses. And I hadn’t even noticed the swearing, maybe there should be more?

  • Tea from the sea.

    Love this show! I just got literal goosebumps when I learnt about tea from the sea vs. chai by land. Goosebumps. From a fact. I got goosebumps from a fact. If you’re so weird you get goosebumps from facts then you will love this show too!
