United Kingdoma month ago - Brilliant Comedy Podcast That Sometimes Mentions Sport
This is a comedy podcast pretending to be a sports podcast. Two comedians and another bloke making one another (and the listener) laugh.

United States2 months ago - I used to be annoyed
Yes it has adverts. Yes you can be annoyed at certain hosts. But it is still a great podcast. I used to subscribe to terrible Patreon (though not the chaps fault) but still listen to the ad version. You get over 2 hours of content (best bits are when they ramble in the intro) so don’t be dismayed. Still an excellent show and can be very funny. Don’t hate, just accept ads are a fact of life and enjoy the content. No one does anything for free!

Officially more advert then content. Pointless!
Apple Podcasts1D-sgraceUnited Kingdom3 months ago - Too many ads / Patreon too expensive
I used to love the show and have subscribed to the Patreon at times, but it is on the expensive side, despite the extra content. Would love to have the option of no-frills option which is just an ad free version of the standard weekly show.
Fair play they have to put ads in the non Patreon shows, but there are so many it really disrupts the flow of the episode, and breaking down a standard episode into 3 shows a week is a tough listen.
