Cried laughing

I listened to the Danny Dyer episode and cried laughing. My face hurt from smiling throughout. His turn of phrase and choice of death… surely the only person on the show to sacrifice themselves for others?! Kathy Burke is a genius and she brings out the best/worst in her guests. Love her and now love Danny Dyer! TCX

Guaranteed mood-lifter

Stumbled across Kathy’s podcast and equally annoyed and delighted that I hadn’t spotted it for the last year or two since it started. Have listened to less than half a dozen, but all have been excellent and the belly laughs the Roisin episode inflicted on me made me want to pop a quick review on. Love Kathy. Keep dissing them nuns girl!

Just wonderful

So original.
Kathy Burke is great. Guests are excellent. Often very funny. Great look at one of the sad inevitable aspects of life.
