  • I’ve listened since the start

    6 years on and the interviewing skills of Rob and Josh are worse than ever. They invite Tom on and talk and squabble over him every time he starts a sentence. come on lads you can do better.

  • Too many ads

    The amount of adverts has gone from a couple per episode to over 10 minute’s worth each time.

  • Too much bickering!

    Still one of my favourite podcasts, but in the last few months it seems as if Josh and Rob have become very fed up with each other, constantly bickering and being short with each other. The proportion of time going on bickering is going up and parenting chat going significantly down! I wonder if they need to take a bit of a break from each other and come back in a few months?

  • Self Promotion A Big Miss

    An episode solely dedicated to Lou’s book really takes your listeners for granted. This Pod is at its best when it’s grounded and relatable and that episode was the total opposite. Really disappointing stuff.

  • Used to be great

    Been a listener since day 1 and used to love this show but the constant talk about where they live in UK, chat about Zones 1 and 2 in London is extremely boring. Almost none of the content now relates to parenting like the old days. I feel this pod has gone rapidly downhill and I can’t listen anymore
