Customer Reviews
Appointment Listening
There’s no better feeling in the world than opening my podcast app and seeing a fresh episode from Jo and Mal. Two of the most delightful hosts in the game right now, both endlessly entertaining and insightful. Even when I don’t like something they’re reviewing, I always come away with a new appreciation for it.
Granny Smith supremacy. Accept no substitutes.
How you like them apples?
Great to see a dedicated House of R feed - Joanna and Mallory bring the energy and insights we all need, every single time, on all the right genre content. Thank you most excellent ladies and look forward to all that’s ahead!
I love them!
It’s a joy to listen to these podcasts, I’m an older mid-level gay nerd, who is constantly amazed by Jo and Mal’s insights and how they joyously analyse our favourite things. LOTR / SWU commentaries are a particular highlight (I can take or leave a lot of Marvel, but they make me want to watch it!). I’m even going to watch Dr. Who. Bravo to the new feed, and thank you for all you do. X
