  • Do not listen to this in public!!

    I laugh so much with this podcast!!! If you have a stupid sense of humour like me & can cope with the occasional f bomb (nothing generally worse than that) you will love this podcast. Discovered the show watching the reels on Facebook & have not looked back since.
