  • Where Choice of Co-host Matters!

    Love it when he’s paired with Barnsey or Suzi. Tolerate it when he’s paired with Roisin or Kerry. HATE HATE HATE it when he’s paired with Lindsey Santoro. God those episodes are a painful listen.

  • Great podcast

    Look forward to listening every Sat. Have been a fan of Jon for years and the guests are great. If I’m being picky sometimes I wish Jon would cough and clear his throat 😂
