Good Listen

Great podcast but someone needs to spend half an hour editing/cutting out parts where the host and guest are sucking the spit off their teeth after most sentences. It just isn’t pleasant listening. Apart from that great conversations.

Best UK shooting podcast

This is amazing. Good sensible discussions about the issues of the day with great guests. Please keep up the content (it must be hard work).

I shall definitely be subscribing to the magazine off the back of this.
