  • Love it but….

    A great pod that is my regular listening. There is SO much to identify with :-) (please lose the ‘guest’ MHDs though as no one cares, especially as the ‘guests’ are so obscure and just irrelevant and downright irritating. Plus the listeners’ MHDs are MILES better and really funny. Also ‘Happy Hunting Ground’ has to be the worst quiz out there :-( )

  • Listen, Fair Play

    What a podcast this is by the way. Have listened religiously for years now, the cliches-isms now form part of my daily lexicon. The Keys and Gray corner theme etched into my memory forevermore. The sight of a new pod makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. To Adam, Dave and Charlie, thank you.
