Essential listening for the leek growing fraternity and traybake fans.
A nonsense podcast full of lovely nonsense. Perfect. 5 stars, no notes.
According to my husband: ‘if you like listening to a bunch of middle aged guys talking why don’t you like listening to me’. Five stars.
Always a great place to visit, with really fun chats and the kind of edits that make you feel like you’re in on the joke.
