Recensioni dei clienti
What a great team!
Try listening to this, it’s a good fix of irony and much needed laughters....can’t convey how much I look forward to this. Where there is humour there is humanity, and hope!!!
1 month delay?
On average there’s a 1 month delay between the actual show and the upload date. I thought this was a news show…
My weekly dose of sanity
A useful way to understand usually very boring topics that on the other hand could be quite important. I would say that if all news was presented in this way, many of us may actually listen and maybe even able to comprehend what's happening around us. Perhaps a 24hr daily show all year, then again, maybe not... After all sometimes I like to sleep. Great program, keeps my week a little saner.
