Great podcast

Been listening from the very start this podcast began.... great guest, good insights and very funny!
The new War stories segment are very interesting, Frank interviews with war veterans- highly recommend

yotmas ,

This should be on the top step of the podcast podium!

I found this podcast in August 2022 after the Mike Chadwick episode, Enjoyed it so much i listened to a few more of the recent ones then went straight back to episode 1 and made it my mission to listen to every single episode and i have just finished, What a ride! It’s been crazy listening to Gez and Joe basically predict the future with their Rants and Bants episodes and at the same time start to feel some sanity myself knowing I’m not the only one who feels that way about everything that was going on at that time. Gez is an incredible interviewer and has a really interesting range of guests, some of which i assumed i wouldn’t find very interesting at the start of the episode only to find I’m absolutely hooked after 10 mins and following them on every social platform. I particularly enjoy Gez’s use of analogy’s which help a bonehead like me understand some of the points he’s making. Ive burst out laughing many times throughout the episodes and also shed a tear or two. Keep up the good work Mate!

Mint.

Cracking podcast with some great guests & interesting dits.

I get excited every time I see another rants & bants episode with Gez & Joe. Protect these man at all costs.
Up the hangmen.
