  • 1st podcast I have felt moved to rate!

    I have listened from day one ~ I enjoy the (seemingly!) unstructured conversations between all 3 of you. Also love there are no ads tho I know that won’t last. I relish the mix of serious and non-serious as it reflects life. And the easy chit-chat between old friends x
