I discovered this podcast through Sinead’s YouTube channel and I’m already on episode 6 and I’m absolutely loving it! The hosts complement each other so perfectly, and their dynamic makes it such a joy to listen to. I can’t wait to catch up on all the episodes 😊
I absolutely love this podcast. It is the most genuine, I love the banter between two friends. I don’t drink but I like hearing about all the different cocktails and have learnt a lot about different spirits. The only negative is this show is that it has inflated my want to read list of books
Absolutely love this show even though I don’t drink 🤣 I wish I had found it in covid it would have kept me sane working in care. I still haven’t caught up to the latest ones but I’m hot on its heels. Hosts are real no put on nonsense, and clearly enjoy what they do which makes it more enjoyable one not to be missed give it a go, it won’t poison you just maybe your mind 🤣love you guys xx
