Lou(eegee) ,

How is this not on TV?

Yes, I know, I’m late to the party: I always loved Cally’s comedy and tweets, but never got round to listen to the podcast… my total loss!
Apart from the easy, funny, conversational style I was expecting, I was actually surprised about the consummate interviewer skills: the pertinent and informed questioning, the way the interviewee seemed to feel instantly at ease and invested.
I didn’t know I was so interested in triathlon until I heard Cally talk to Alistair Brownlee, that surely is a rare skill!
I would say she’s good enough for Desert Island Disk, but she’s better than that, she’s the new Michael Parkinson, (I know that’s an old reference, sorry Cally, but he was the best!) with a few swears. I’ve got soo much to look forward to listen to… yay!

Oh the joys…

Oh the joys of podcasts when people call them delightful names, say what they think and are hilarious… thanks Cally 👏👏

Neal Glass ,

The highlight of my Thursdays

The guests are those I would choose to have on, the conversations are always just perfect. This podcast cannot be too highly recommended.
