Customer Reviews
Russell brings the comedy but need expert guests
This podcast would be amazing if they had expert guests. Russell is very funny but the comedic guests give it a too many cooks in the kitchen vibe with ‘i’m the funniest’ being the overall theme. Bring on some experts please, might learn something that’s not on google.
Spoiled by annoying guests
I have been listening to this since the first series as I like the concept, and I think Russell Kane is good as the presenter. This would definitely be a 5 star show if it wasn’t for the obnoxious, vacuous, and unfunny ‘comedian’ guests. It’s almost a if they are trying to outdo each other to see who can be the most irritating. Sorry Russell, please get some better guests.
Geoff Norcott isn’t funny
Geoff Norcott prospering off the “need for balance” as always. Ironic as he is almost certainly against affirmative action.
