  • Too many ads!

    I enjoy listening to Mel, I feel that the podcast is slightly warmer now… however, it feels like there are more ads, more frequently, in this show than any other podcast I listen to and I do find the songs a bit intrusive. Hopefully a bit of constructive criticism!

  • *gone*

    This used to be my favourite podcast which I would eagerly listen to on release. Unfortunately the spark left with Kathy. The purgatory episodes were a bit ‘meh’ and I looked forward to Mel hosting, as I have enjoyed her presenting on tv shows. Unfortunately this podcast feels unsuited to her presenting style.

    Should have finished on a high with Kathy, leaving the listener wanting more. A shame as I no longer listen

  • I’ve stopped listening

    Is it me or are there twice the number of disruptive ads now? Maybe I just didn’t notice them when Kathy was presenting. But they have contributed to me giving up listening to what was once my fave weekly podcast.

Here Lies Kunal Nayyar aka Raj from The Big Bang Theory
Q: So, Kunal, if you imagine we're at the pearly gates, is the pearly gates something that you sort of think about?
It seems like, as you would imagine, stereotypical, cloudy, foggy, massive, white gates with an angel-type figure allowing people in.
Here Lies Kunal Nayyar aka Raj from The Big Bang Theory

In my neighborhood, yes, but not really. It's not really a walking city.
