  • A view from the attic

    Like Rapunzel but with less hair, Andy has been stuck in his attic since the beginning of the covid pandemic hosting this brilliant podcast.

    Finding myself off work at various points during this time, the kbbreview podcast has always been my go to podcast for my morning walk.

    A fantastic mix of humour, seriousness and insightful information surrounding the kbb industry from every angle with some dodgy feel good music & movie choices thrown in.

    This definitely is a five star podcast. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️... more
