I absolutely LOVE listening to you both, you are wonderful good solid human beings and it really comes across. Perhaps you don’t have the time to dedicate to this anymore, the episodes are now very short and inconsistent
it’s such a shame as I could listen all day long to these….
I really miss the authentic purchases and product trials though, food, restaurants, films…. Seems much more mental health advice / support heavy these days, also great but would prefer a bit of everything.
No sorry losing its appeal .When it first started this was an interesting listen recommendations music fashion etc .Now the presenters are becoming really annoying and a bit self obsessed . Won’t bother anymore .

All good wishes to you both great to hear you’re back and laughing .
