So happy the Gargle is back! Alice is phenomenal and the guests are always great. More Alison Spittle please 😊
I am so happy that this show is back. I am even more happy that the show promises to keep things light and that politics will creep in. It’s impossible to keep them separated. As it should be as ignoring politics is not an option these days.
I digress. I write this to promote something I love and enjoy.
Love this show, always amazing so I’m thrilled to have another little ray of sunshine in my life
Shame last episode. You've got to love a podcast where the man on the Clapham omnibus is a highlight!!
Even if it was only the funny little intro segments from Alice every week, I’d still subscribe.
