    What a fantastic podcast. Love Ben, Jack and Colson. Long time watcher of Corrie, even did the Corrie tour in 2023. It’s such a breath of fresh air to hear them chatting normally with the swearing and laughing g and taking the piss out of each other. I’m only up to 2022 but catching up fast. Keep up the good work. P.S I love the way Colson gets his pronunciation wrong, it really makes me laugh, it’s so cute. Love you guys. Love from Oz.XXX

  • Ben is Brilliant

    Your podcast make me laugh out loud no matter where I am or who is around. Started listening about 6 months ago and have gone straight back to the beginning. You can tell there are 3 generations and I think that what makes it work. Colson try’s hard to keep things under control but it doesn’t work when Jack and Ben find something funny. I believe Ben has the best laugh ever. Colson ace, Jack naughty 😉 and Ben is mint. Keep doing what you do best.
