Troubled Waters is the pop culture quiz show where comedians disagree to disagree. Twice a month, Dave will stoke pointless arguments between two teams of comedians and make them compete against each other in order to settle their meaningless debates once and for all. Winner takes home the right to be right.

Customer Reviews
This is superb
Pacey, structured delivery. Fun games. Potty-mouthed guests enabled by a skilled host. Alive to power, gender, sexuality and ethnicity. Comedy for grown ups who know what really matters between people.
Still quite good.....
This used to be one of my faves, it was rather jolly good when it had the Brits.
Now it is still....... ok.
Sorry.
Revamped...but not improved alas
International Waters used to be the highlight of my podcst listening, funny, a great host and great guests. When I heard it was going to be revamped as a new format I was disappointed but I figured hey - still the same great host (and he really is good) so let's reserve judgement.
Sadly, after listening to all the subsequent episodes I have to admit it's just not the same. The original format worked so well but this just feels like a pale immitation of it unfortunately and the laughs just aren't there any more. I still listen but it's really not as much fun as it used to be.
Damn.
