Found this by accident through random Facebook reels that had me in stitches and had to go searching! Love listening guys you are good medicine each week
Thanks for the giggles and keep up the banter
You’re the silver shiney pokemon cards of podcasts 😁
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
What a wonderful podcast I actually met jack at the coronation street experience that I went to and have been listening to the pod for a while jack said to me that he would try and get Sarah Louise out in the show as I was named after the character
Have listened to this since the beginning. You can tell the three of them have a great relationship…even though Colson gets his leg pulled relentlessly!! A bit of everything - film reviews; Corrie chat and lots more…I genuinely burst out laughing at times. Thoroughly recommend if you want some light-hearted escape from the daily drudge. Ben is brilliant HaHa! (But so are Colson and Jack!)
So good, just listen and smile. It really is a tonic.
