Customer Reviews
Teresa
I was born in Earlham Hall in ‘48 and emigrated to US in ‘57. One of my English cousins turned me on to your show. You and Jaqui have me in stitches every week. Big thanks from other side of the pond.
Corey
Loved hearing Corey one day I hope he gets his own show!!
Love the podcast
I am in the USA and I enjoy listening to you both. It is a bit of fresh air how you are able to disagree yet also listen and show each other respect. I wish we had something similar here. I love all the jokes and laughter. Thank you. Adding to my review .... I wish I could give 10 stars. …. To add to my prior review, I still love listening, but wonder why you never discuss Biden, yet when Trump was president you readily showed your distaste?
