  • Entertaining with one caveat…

    Great to have on in the background, and as a quiz host it’s always nice to learn some new things!

    One note - if you have misophonia around eating noises you might want to avoid. I’ve only listened to a couple and had to switch a couple others off because of chomping and chewing close to the microphone, which instantly makes me want to stick forks in my ears.

    Otherwise, enjoy!

  • Top Tier

    A great find and super enjoyable podcast with a fun concept. I find myself getting involved with the quiz on my drives home. I agree with some feedback from another review that the sound could do with a little work.. almost needs the hustle and bustle of a pub around them for some authenticity.

  • A perfectly acceptable comedy podcast

    The sound quality could do with some improving. But its a good format and includes some half-decent bantering to provide background chatter to the mundanities of life
