Then things get properly existential. If Sam and Pete were locked in a roo... more

Just listened to episode 62 and Pete sang a line from a country song which gave me some flutters in my south region. Anytime Pete wants to sign i’ll listen. Anyway love the Pod, im off for a lie down…

I’m really glad they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve because they honestly do a great job of making people s... more
This was my first listen after hearing Pete and Sam on Alan Carr’s podcast. I’m so glad I gave it a go because it’s really entertained me. Looking forward to listening to more.
