My new go to podcast. Love it. Two naturally very very witty people, like modern day Monty Python finding chaos in the everyday local news.
I love this podcast so much ! Amy and Ian are so funny, and have such insightful yet disturbing perspectives on the world. As a displaced northerner it really burns my crumpet in the best way. This podcast really makes my week !
If you only listen to one news podcast this might be the best and most informative. Full of the most important news stories from The North Amy and Ian delve deep with thorough research and unique insights.
Reet good
After listening to the bonus patreon ep for the first time ever with Alex Horne I now know what a waste of time and money it is. Sorry but I’m happy to continue listening to and skipping ads if this is the level of content I’m missing.

This light-hearted and humorous podcast explores the quirks and eccentricities of Northern life as two comedians, Amy Gledhill and Ian Smith, share amusing stories and news from their hometowns. The hosts engage in banter over a variety of topics, including local traditions, food, and odd news stories, often featuring absurd twists and cultural references that shed light on the Northeastern perspective. The combination of comedic stories, personal anecdotes, and humorous debates makes for an entertaining listen that appeals to both Northerners and those unfamiliar with the culture.
