Was my favourite, subscribed podcast but now sadly unfollowed. Great format but Mel just isn’t funny & doesn’t seem genuinely interested in guests; never researched and reactions insincere. Come back, Auntie Kath!
Way too many ad breaks
Who convinced Gbemisola that she was funny? Literally says nothing humorous
Have really enjoyed this since the beginning but the ads make it unlistenable to, especially the ones that begin only a couple of minutes after the pod has started. The broccoli was the final straw (stem?)
Updating for 2026: gets better all the time. Zoe Ball ep was great.
Mel has brought this podcast back from the dead! Kathy was awesome and then it lost its way a little but now there’s a permanent host again it’s back and Mel is such a great, and always enthusiastic interviewer. She’s so generous and genuine with her laughter - very natural and hilarious. Death affirming!!
