  • Great, but not as good as it was

    I’ve been listening to this Pod for years and probably listened to 80% of the entire back catalog.

    Unfortunately, things have gone downhill recently and now it feels more like a business than ever (never pushed the producers club as hard) and sadly it feels like the Portkey Vacations podcast network now rather than the fantastic show Lee & Tracey built over the years.

    Some great content and hours of entertainment if you tune in, just make sure you listen to some of the older stuff too.

  • Wrong river

    When you were talking about the river that went through the volcano at volcano bay you were wrong. The fast rapid river is the one that goes through the volcano.
