Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 1.2k ratings
  • RSK XFM Remastered

    As another reviewer points out there is a lot of repetition, and frankly the episodes where Karl is absent feel laboured. If Karl's lines are not scripted as Ricky insists, then Karl is trying to come across as less enlightened than he is, as he makes some sharp come backs at times.

  • Getting repetitive 🙁

    Starting to struggle with this podcast if I’m honest. It seems that each new episode is to a certain extent just repeating the same best bits of the show on a weekly basis. This was a great podcast and surely there are more best bits than the ones being repeated?
