  • It’s ok but a sausage fest

    Interesting but sometimes feels like a gossipy orange-break at a cricket match; bit of an auld boys’ club. Yawn.

  • Like it, but!

    They have some great guests and I enjoy 60% of the podcast.

    But I have to turn it off due to the unnecessary loud eating noise. When I brought it upto my friends a couple of them said they had to stop listening to it altogether.
