  • Used to be decent

    Not listened for a while but what a shock I got. This used to be a decent podcast, professionally recorded with some excellent insight. Now it isn't. Such a shame but it seems to have been taken over by a gaggle of morons who record it in pub toilets. Get back to what you were good at.
