  • 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.

  • Bring back Kathy
