    I absolutely love Graham and Maria, they are hilarious. No matter how sad or grumpy you might be feeling you cannot help but laugh out loud. I always have a big smile on my face and get funny looks if I’m listening on my AirPods outside the house, my teenage daughter says I’m so embarrassing except when it was on in the car and she laughed just as much as me!!!!

  • Dear Graham & Maria

    I hope you can help with this problem. One of my favourite podcasts seems to struggle with attention to detail. In last week’s episode (27.04) Maria wished Graham Happy May 4th be with you. Oops. In today’s May 4th episode, she does the same. Because it’s the same episode. How did nobody on the production team notice? Should heads roll? Is this an HR issue?!
