    Been listening for a while as they popped up on Twitter but I thought I owed Fenton a review for all the pleasure they’ve given me. It’s a fantastic show that opens up the guests lives like no other I’ve listened too. No doubt Fenton is a huge part of this, that and attracting a cornucopia of honest folk. I’ve never left one not having learnt something new about the guest but also things relevant to my own life, childhood, parents, parenting and work experiences of every kind. Highly recommend. ... more

  • Please

    Fewer stand-up comedians.

    I get that they may be easy-pickings, but they can be a little dull, generally.
