  • Pinky & The Brain But They’re Rats Not Mice

    Perfect blend of conversation and chaos. Makes me laugh out loud regularly, and has introduced me to some top-tier comics. Heard the Two Pink Dancers bit from Ep 1 and knew I was in for the long haul.

  • Brilliant so far

    One of the best, and funniest new podcasts I’ve heard in years. The Canadian parents bit in the Kate Hammer episodes had me laughing so much in the supermarket that I was getting funny looks. Can’t afford the Patreon (sorry lads) so wanted to support with a review. If you could turn off gambling adverts in the ad serve (?) preferences I’ll send you a tenner in the post as I hate them so much and the industry in general. Much love.
