- Thanks huns
This podcast single handedly got me through a genuinely petrifying bout of food poisoning in Rome. I was there on my tod and losing my tiny mind, and having this on felt like having two funny mates also hanging out in bed with me for 15 hours straight. Can’t thank you enough for the lols

Every week is just a pick apart of female artists. Every aspect of their music and behaviour scrutinised. They never do the same with male artists and I expected so much better, especially from Annie
Apple Podcasts1ocean1325United Kingdoma month ago - Two of the best.
I can’t get enough of these two, they make me laugh so much and relate on so many levels, the Taylor swift swimsuits!!!! The craic is always too good, I’m refreshing the app all week to see if there’s a new one! Thanks for all the fun and joy you bring. Keep being yourselves ❤️

Annie and Nick are fantastic. Come across so genuinely. A real treat to listen to. Keep them coming!!
Apple Podcasts5deuchleyUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Best episode ever!
Best episode ever topped off with Ian making an appearance at the end. Annie & Nick seem to be the most normal genuine people, despite their long careers in the entertainment industry. I laugh every week, sometimes cry and have found so much new music through the podcasts. Pure diamonds! Love from a 58 year old Irish grandmother (living in uk 38 years who has no business listening). PS: Can’t wait for Ian’s 50th! Xxx
