  • Great entertainment

    Absolutely love this show. I listen while in the garden and it makes me chuckle. Great selection of topics and there is often a gardening tip or trick sneaked in for good measure.

    I’m enjoying James and Joes chats and very thankful that they’ve taken a “not like the other garden podcasts” route.

  • Deep Dives good, James & Joe not

    I really enjoy the deep dives hosted by Jane Perrone. Interesting topics and great guests. I learn a lot. The James and Joe Show is a painful listen even though I like them on other shows. Can’t put my finger on why but they can be a bit patronising and snarky and it just doesn’t work for me. Don’t really get the point of it either.
