- Living in hope
This used to be a weekly ‘must listen’ for me but Naga has increasingly become unbearably overbearing so the show has become all about her. I hope that when she moves on at end of year that this will become the delightful podcast that it has been in the past. Scott and Hayley are knowledgeable, erudite reviewers but frequently shouted down by the opinionated host.

United Kingdom9 days ago - Could be good
Hayley and Scott provide thoughtful and insightful reviews of current tv shows which inform what we should be watching and what we should definitely avoid. Unfortunately, the show is ruined by a host (Naga) who seems to have very little interest in tv and spends most of the show complaining she is simply too busy or too tired to watch anything. Her complete disinterest in the subject matter has become increasingly evident as in recent months the show has been hosted by guests who display far mo... more
Apple Podcasts3Lozza 29United Kingdom19 days ago - New host please
This show is sooooo much better when Nagat’s not there. Scott and Haley actually get to speak and we get to hear about the shows rather than her constant self obsessed blathering. And poor Scott doesn’t get forced to read out that godforsaken email address. The perfect host would be Caroline Frost who hosts the radio times podcast - kind, knowledgeable, funny and knows how to have an interesting, engaging and warm discussion…get her on!

Apple Podcasts5Pod cast fan soooozeyUnited Kingdom5 months ago - Naga is unbearable
Why does Naga feel the need to insert herself into this so much? I wish she’d leave the reviews to Hayley and Scott, it would flow so much better. She adds nothing other than to bulldoze everything based on her often ill informed opinion. I want to listen to the experts not naga bullying everyone as if hers is the only opinion that matters.
Side note, the more I listen the more unbearable Naga becomes.
She is utterly obnoxious.
