  • Dobell is such a patronising prick

    Dobell is constantly interrupting, undermining, and patronising Mel. It’s gross. Honestly don’t know why she puts up with it.

  • Sound quality

    I’m a big fan of George but the sound on this is consistently dreadful. A bit of decent tech would make this an essential listen but at the moment it’s too much hard work
