Customer Reviews
Excellent Listen
Always humorous, light-hearted and informative. Well produced & easy-to-listen-to presenters.
Great pod
Funny, well researched and not run by dick heads
Really good stuff this.
Tales of scandal, drunkenness and general chaos from the sporting world. It’s very laddish, lighthearted and thus far, unspoiled by wokeness. They sound like they’re having a lot of fun making this and that carries over really well. Great accompaniment for the email newsletter of the same name.
