  • Tom Williams ruins it

    Sensational podcast, AC Jimbo still the best and a great range of guests. Immediately switch off when Williams talks as he inflects the last syllable of every sentence and it is breathtakingly annoying. Poor football knowledge and is not as funny as he thinks he is, amazing he keeps getting asked back. A 5 star podcast but Williams is a 0 star addition.
