  • Good connection

    Sam and Pete have a good dynamic, makes a good podcast, but like other commenters I agree not necessary to have added Pippa in, her laughter and the extra comments by Pippa aren’t needed (sorry Pippa and Josh but better to stay as Sam and Pete)

  • There’s one downside

    There’s only one downside for me and that is they don’t put one out daily. It’s my daily comfort and feel good moment. Even if I don’t always agree with what they say. 🥰
