  • Listened since the beginning

    I’ve listened since the beginning. This podcast really helped me through my youngest son’s early years, sleepless nights and generally being able to laugh through the most challenging times. Love Josh and rob

  • Secret House Tapes

    Welcome back to Devon Josh!

    Have loved listening to the Secret House Tapes. We moved from Essex to Devon 2 and 1/2 years ago and your experience brought back the memories of the logistics of moving across the country. Great show guys, been listening from the start, even when we were living in a caravan between houses for 3 months. Favourite episode is still Rob putting the trampoline up for Christmas. 😂

  • Fantastic podcast

    I can’t even remember how long I’ve been listening but this is one of my absolute faves. Rob and Josh bring their authentic selves with so much warmth and humour. Elizabeth Day this week was a brilliant guest. p.s. Rob so glad you added a date at the Churchill Theatre - yes we’d come and see you in town but also like to support local places - see you on 9th Jan! X
