    One of the best podcasts ever. That’s a fact. Funny and mouth watering. These negative reviews are hillarious and written by robots who only eat gruel.

  • How many adverts can you cram in?

    Listener for 2 years but time to call it. Too many adverts, you either need to find a balance or make them creative like Adam Buxton.

  • James is correct

    It is embarrassing. A food based podcast, where people describe their dream menu via only spoken word? I tolerate that. Same podcast on YouTube? You know YouTube, right? The platform famous for video? Take your time… 🥸
