I only follow a handful of podcasts but after 3 episodes I’ve made sure this is one of them…although they are defo swingers me thinks.
Saw this advertised on a bill board, what a great chemistry between you all, love the banter and laughter, and keep talking Leigh, it’s good to talk😎
Love this fantastic four! Jill is my favourite! Also Emma is my favourite and Jade is my favourite. Leigh is ok I guess. No actually he’s also my favourite! This podcast is such an easy listen and a great watch on YouTube! I can’t wait for more. These guys should do more things together! Leigh has great hats too!
They say they ain’t swingers, but they’re saying it too much for it to not be true!
Love it
Such a nice easy listen. Like being in the room with friends. Can’t wait for more eps x
