    The worst. Am a fan of NLTPP - from the intro to the theme song and in and on. Not a fan. I gave it a year and a half - but truly awful.

    Get some actual music #1

    But really I don’t think there’s much hope. Can’t hear any more

  • Highly entertaining

    Paula and Adam are quick witted and Bonnie Burns is unintentionally HILARIOUS. Couldn’t have scripted her funnier. Running gags never get stale. Great show formatting. Unlike anything else.

    Adam’s audio is so poor it makes the episode almost unlistenable. Second show in a row!

    But I LOVE Paula!
