Customer Reviews
Addictive fun take on the news
Have got really into this pod and delighted it’s moved to a daily drop. All contributors are great and Miranda’s laugh is so infectious! Brightens my day.
Got into its stride
Was sceptical about this show in the early days but it has now got into its stride and is bowling along nicely
Witty any enjoyable
A bit like HIGNFY, but the contributors aren’t bitter pensioners! One of my favourite pods.
