Downhill since Ivan departed. No contrast of opinions, total bubble.
Apple Podcasts1Bee BradyIrelanda month ago - Love the show
Liked it when Ivan was with Matt. But since he left, it’s every bit as good and the insight from the various guests is a welcome change from negativity and bluster. Could you re-record the opening music? After 6 seconds it goes silent for a moment and I can’t understand why this hasn’t been fixed! Otherwise, my sub is due for renewal and I’m going to take out another year.
Apple Podcasts4ClonrfIrelanda month ago It's just not as good without Ivan.
Podcast Addict22 months agozidane3000- PTP America
I look forward to this podcast every single week it’s my favourite listen. Matt and Marion are great crack together. Their chemistry is effortless, with plenty of witty banter that makes each episode feel like you’re part of the conversation rather than just a listener on the outside. Marion has in-depth insights every week and her story telling ability is the best ! Thank you Matt and Marion
