- I love this show
It fills a gap left by The High Low (RIP) and whilst it isn’t book focussed, I really enjoy the pop culture discussions. I also enjoyed Charlie’s previous skincare podcast and this has all the elements I enjoyed the most - the chat and conversation. They are a great length too - I hate podcasts that are too long and feel like a chore. Spectacular. Give me 14 of ‘em.
