  • A difficult listen

    It could be great but oh it’s a difficult listen. They constantly talk over the guests.

    The most frustrating thing is they ask questions and then presume they know the answer and answer them before the guest has had a chance. I listened to the Vanessa one and she repeatedly had to say no that’s not right

    Let the guests speak and tell us more about the food

    The Angela Hartnett podcast is a more enjoyable listen

  • Stirring it up great - but please review your sponsors

    I love this podcast, fabulous hosts, have been listening since the beginning and aspire to the messages it puts out. However, please review the sponsors promoted and ensure these are in line with the morals of the show. I believe there have been ads for uber eats which treats it's workers shamefully and exacerbates poverty and inequality in favour of massive profits. Thank you x
