  • Some errors driving me mad

    Gastric band surgery and gastric bypass surgery are totally different things! Google them… gastric bypass is much more significant.

  • What a team!

    I did wonder when I first started listening - how was this going to work - the proper English lady with the craggy Aussie journo. But by golly it worked. Thanks for keeping us up to date with the episodes. A class act!

    Short episodes full of ads, cheesy and over-dramatized. Way better others out there

  • Great show

    Loved the show and the presenters! I don’t know what I’ll do with my life without the daily updates. The coverage was great, unbiased and succinct. I really enjoyed thus case it was fascinating but I like all the Uk ones too. The low reviews are undeserved.
