Customer Reviews
Always funny and often thoughtful
Have listened to almost all of the episodes. These two bounce off each other beautifully. Asma Khan episode is a stand out for her incisive intelligence, thoughtful conversation and fascinating back story. (The very strange Dan Ackroyd one was a stand out for a whole other reason - it must be very hard to hijack these two accomplished performers but he mowed over them both!)
I have howled with laughter at a lot of the episodes (Greg Davies esp.) - a great track record of really delivering great content throughout their series. This is one of the podcasts that really brightens my day.
One great host
James Acaster is hilarious, but sadly Ed Gamble is annoyingly arrogant a lot of the time
The best
This is by far the best podcast out there. Gregg Davies, Bob Mortimer, Joe Thomas …. Some of the best of the best.
Also a good game to play with your mates, I do a great genie
