As soon as a new series comes out, I download, listen and then wonder why I have to wait for episode 2. Come on guys, don't keep your fans waiting!
As someone who was 15 years old during the series, I can say that this podcast really captures the sheer ridiculousness of much that happened in a memorable summer. Thanks
Cricket is stupid and the ashes it’s idiot king. Dan and Alex are great at identifying just how brilliantly over the top the narratives that dominate the discourse around the ashes, and the moments that drive them. I just wish there was more.
Brilliant concept, executed perfectly. Zero ridiculous points, but five conventional stars.
It’s the best podcast in the world. Never mind anybody else. I can’t spake.
