  • It’s always a good Thursday listening to Conspiracy-man, Placebo-man, and Vagina-lady

    Good info, good laughs, sad that they betrayed all of skepticism by killing QED. Would recommend.

  • Top left wing for me

    It’s a very good show and presenters are awesome but I find some of the defence of things like immigration over the last year or so bothers me, so stopped listening.

    If you’re a left wing person you’ll obviously love it
