  • It’s For Me!

    A delight to my American ears. Especially delightful when you have some of my other podcast faves on like Justin McElroy and Bobby Finger.

    I love these two ladies. I love the British topics. I love the silly little games.

    I cannot stop saying East Enders the way you say it in the opening.
