    I love Sam and Pete and been a day one fan of them both. I just feel Pippa being on the pod irritates me a bit I don’t know why as she seems really nice but I don’t need to listen to her. I feel like it’s trying to create Imo vibes from Luanna but isn’t sitting quite right. Please can we go back to the original days
