  • Hooray, you’re back!

    Missed you guys during your break, but loving the new format. It feels like the show has had a real “glow up” and it’s great! What a bloody brilliant selection of guests for the new series, I am excited to hear them all. But the “hosts” episodes with John, Miles and Amy chatting and laughing away are always my favourite. Keep up the good work.
