My aural comfort blanket

Love listening to these two, they always cheer me up and I love the mix of topics they discuss. It’s kinda like chatting with friends, without having to make any effort yourself. Keep up the pod work ladies!

Miss the old format

I’ve listened for years, but the recent push for joining Patreon and the numerous teasers for Patreon-only episodes have definitely put me off. It seems that’s the primary focus now.

Entertaining and feel-good

This is my favourite podcast by far, you can tell that each episode is well researched and that Kate and Doree genuinely enjoy hosting this podcast.
It feels like I’m eavesdropping onto a conversation with two people I’d love to be real-life friends with!
