Hugely underrated, excellent

As somebody that lives cricket and who has really struggled with mental health issues in recent years, listening to this was so supportive and hope-inducing.

Very week done guys, keep dressing awareness and the good work

Brilliant

Great discussions on a range of subjects. The presenters banter and interview style is reminiscent of a young Jonathon Agnew.
