    Gave it a good go, but the forced banter was really unenjoyable. Could do without the constant anecdotes from the presenters.

    Live listening to Laura and Iain. Live the stories but live listening to them more. Their everyday conversations, their accents. Wasn’t a fan of Iain from Love Island, but podcast Iain is brilliant!
