Apple Podcasts5Luluslays13United States10 months ago - Adam, pls stop repeating yourself
I can’t stop listening, because they uncover loads of little facts I had not noticed while watching the series, but also I am often bored because Adam keeps repeating himself. We heard you and we understood you the first time, Adam, no need to say it again in a slightly different way. Editors, pls edit him out the second time.
Apple Podcasts3SqickyUnited Statesa year ago - Absolutely wonderful deep dive
This is exactly what I needed to handle my obsession with heartstopper books and tv show and the cast. You guys are doing an amazing job with the deep dive, exploring deeper meaning into everything said and not said. I can’t wait for new episodes about vol 5 & 6 and seasons 4. (Fingers crossed)
