Modern Goddesses

I love these women. I was lucky enough to have found them back in the BBC days.
I remember waiting for the weekly treat to arrive with the charming Shaun Keaveny intervals.
They truly make life better. Now I’m just greedy… four episodes a week? Is that all! When they say they need to hurry up, please don’t!
Thank you Fi and Jane, don’t ever stop doing what you’re doing!!!!❤️

Like having best friends in your ear on demand

I laugh, smirk, roll my eyes and groan be it because of the subject, the guests, the content, but it’s like being out with a couple of great friends who just get you and you get them. A must listen or catch up for me. Ideal to pop on while pottering around the house - as the promo says. Never running a bank.
