  • 2 episodes a week is too much

    Episodes way too long and way too often. I skip the interviews because it’s just too much.

    Paul, please do not interrupt Chloe while she is talking her time is just as valuable as yours.

    Lots of netball content but the obsession with mentioning American sports is off putting.

  • Please sort out the sound

    A lot of interesting content by almost unlistenable with the quality and variance of sound between the two presenters. Chloe’s is ok but Paul sounds is so poor , sound alike he’s in a large echoing space.
