  • Pretty good!

    Love this podcast. Wish they’d steer clear of politics because it ruins the escapist vibe. Was particularly disappointed to hear Sandi Toksvig discuss the US election. How the most intelligent woman in the world can support the least intelligent woman in the world (Kamala) is beyond me, and upsetting.
