My best friends who don’t know I exist

This show is my absolute favourite, Niamh and Gearoid are legends. I either listen on my commute on Mondays (which gets me through being stuck in a sweaty stranger‘s armpit on the tube) or when I need a pick me up. I’m a Headstuff subscriber and Vintage Rants is absolute gold!

This pod is awesome always hysterical and one of my must listens during the week. Niamh and Gearoid bring a fresh batch of emails each week and their varying advice is both funny and heartfelt.
