  • Ep 265 Prue Gold!

    Listened with AirPods in by the pool in Ho Chi Minh City couldn’t help but giggle and smirk. Guests must have thought I’d lost the plot. As a fellow open plan office worker I can’t wait until you get busted again for being loud, made for great content. Keep up the good work! Definitely the best episode yet.

  • This weeks ep

    What a beautiful episode. Ash & April, so open and honest. Matty - an amazing interviewer, so well spoken and thoughtful with your questions. Really kept things flowing. Love listening to you guys, keep up the good work, you’re a great couple (and Aprils seems lovely too).

    5 stars all round! (I did have to google how to leave a review, not winning at being a millennial for sure)
