I started listening after this podcast was mentioned in The Radio Times. It's quickly become a firm favourite and I look forward to new episodes. Keep Gazing, guys!
Hilarious and informative with a wonderfully organic chemistry!
As a US listener, I learn a lot while enjoying the views and the banter. The hosts have savvy opinions about a wide array of films, TV shows, music, and other artifacts. But I will fight them both over Love Actually.
Very funny and great chemistry between these two. Real nostalgic trip, real laugh out loud, and culturally educational. Definitely worth a listen!!
What a find this was! Great analysis done by really humorous hosts coming from totally different angles. I learn something new each episode and look forward to my weekly visit to PG Towers!
