  • Asking the questions we all want to know!

    Thanks for starting the pod, Nicky! I loved the episode with Jo and appreciated that you’re asking and have permission to ask the deeper questions and going beyond the surface level stuff.

    I’m waiting for a Kavana episode now that he’s released his book which is taking off, or an episode with Jon from SClub since Celebs Go Dating.

  • Good show - stop advising

    I enjoy the guests and Nicky is a nice man but please stop advising people to get in a room and talk it out. Poor intelligent Tony Mortimer is dealing with an angry man who ran himself over after eating a potato and you’re trying to get them around a camp fire singing Kum By Ya. Then Ben Adams you’re telling to reach out to grieving families. So inappropriate. That combined with thinking everyone was a Westlife fan (yeah of course 5ive & E17 loved you!)& crowbarring your name into everyone’s ult... more

    Nicky is a great interviewer and clearly has a good relationship with his guests. He always asks the guest who their ultimate boy band would be and pressures them to include him which is so cringe. Just have the self confidence

    to let the guests pick their actual band. Be humble bro.

Michael Conlan - What he’s really fighting for

Alex Brooker - How The Last Leg turned his biggest fear into his superpower
