Would give it 6 stars

If only there were more pun runs and obscure sporting references of a statistical nature.

Intraocular ,

Fantastic and consistently brilliant

I have been a listener for years now. The standard is consistently high. Very funny, very clever, not to be missed.

The_Orgazoid ,

Best podcast ever made

How many times listening through every episode is too many?
The early years (up to season 2) with Andy and John are the best, but the guest appearances from season 3 are also very good.
