I wish I could give this show five stars over and over! Brilliant podcast - Katie & Rob are a perfect mix of smart, informed and hilarious. Uber enjoyable, laugh out loud constantly and come away having learnt a lot - a dream
Love the content and especially the tone. Katie’s fantastic, and the easy banter is funny and entertaining without ever being self satisfied or too much.
A real gem of a podcast, easily top 10 in either category above. The regular presenters Katie and Robert are fantastic and really bounce off eachother, can’t recommend highly enough!
