  • Great podcast

    I really love this podcast, I have been listening for years.

    The reason for loss of one star is the commentary and laughter from the background. I really don’t like it. I listen to the podcast because I like the three hosts not for someone I don’t know whose opinion I don’t need to hear.

    A lot of podcasts are doing this now and it irritates me on everyone, I’ve had to stop listening to a few of them.

    I will miss this podcast 😢

    I just love these three together, Colsons laugh is so great, the best thing is their movie reviews, they bounce off each other. If you want a good laugh just tune into On the sofa

  • That’s Jamble

    This is one of my regular podcast listens. The boys brighten my dog walk three mornings a week. Their friendship shines through with the laughter and gentle ribbing they give each other. I love some of the features but I agree with Jack and Ben that I could live without Pass the Pod, although I have passed the pod myself. Although I am an audio listener I do enjoy the snack showdown slots on other platforms. One of my favourite recent additions to the show is Dave on the desk. I really enjoy his... more
