  • Showed so much potential

    Clutching at Straws with 3 vegetarians, could add 1000s of names to that list, seems topics are getting slim. Not worth venturing into the subscription if that’s the best they can do 😔

  • Great podcast!

    I grew up watching Kath and Kim and have been listening to this podcast every night before bed and never get sick of it! I also just heard on one episode that you don’t think you have many mid-age fans (around 20’s). I’m 28 and have been listening to you since I was 24 so there’s a 20-something for you!

    Thank you guys for an awesome podcast!
