    I have never heard of this woman before. Apparently she had a career in music. And now she’s acting. Still never heard of her. And that’s fine! But if you’re a host of a podcast? Why don’t you make it more about the guests?

    You sound like such an upcoming Londoner! But there are bright moments. Specifically when you let your mother have the word.

  • Exceptional

    This is an utter joy. You are both so lovely and talented at cooking at and interviewing. The dynamic between Jessie and Lennie is sublime; it’s witty and warming, funny and frenetic. No matter who the guest is they manage to make EVERYONE feel so welcome and relaxed, these super-celebs really open up to the pair. I’m late to this pod (despite having been aware of it) and I feel so lucky to have so many years of wonderful interviews to get through. Thank you Jess and Lennie - please don’t stop d... more

  • Just let people talk

    This could be an awesome podcasts. The guests are a bunch of 5 star celebrities/musicians, the conversations are interesting and I love Jessie BUT it gets on my nerves that the hosts won’t let guests finish one sentence. Everyone is talking over everyone, it makes my head hurt.

  • Flop

    Wow - I listened to this when it first came out and found the chat refreshing. Then stopped for a while and was recently drawn by new guests including Suki Waterhouse. The poor woman could barely string a full sentence and when she did was scoffed at for not giving perfectly curated food answers.

    The format seems to follow: a lack of in depth research, constant interruption, tone deaf commentary and not to mention occasional mean girl vibe seeping through - maybe it’s time to retire the pod. ... more
