Who doesn’t like lots of accents, laughter and rich stories. With a little bit of song too.
Class and great fun!
No idea how this popped up in my feed, clicked on it before I stepped out for a walk with the dog…two Scots, a man and a woman, talking and telling stories, fresh and fun, try it.
John has a great face for podcasts and his natural chemistry with Alison makes this a great listen too, especially when cooking or walking the dog. As an original listener of the zoo crew it’s a bit nostalgic but it’s also easy, it’s like picking things up with a good mate you haven’t seen for years.
The banter just flows as do my tears of laughter right from the off!
Great podcast taking me back to the Zoo Crew days - and the banter is still as sharp and funny. Alison and John feed off each other effortlessly and there are laughs a plenty. Fantastic podcast 💚
