    Please can you stop the gambling adverts. I’ll stop listening. I’m just one person. But I can’t be the only one who is repulsed. Gambling ruins lives. Be better Joe.

  • Utterly pointless

    Updated review - persevered but it’s like losing the will to live - Sean is a narcissist who loves himself, Laura is the constant giggling fool and the pod just goes from bad to worse

  • Huge improvement

    Since Ava has taken over and begun leading the podcast with Sean and Laura, the quality of the content has increased a lot and I find myself looking forward to episodes. I really like this new direction. Topics are more focused and it seems better produced.
