Hyacinth World…😂

I adore this podcast! Your enthusiasm for & genuine enjoyment of Keeping Up Appearances is infectious & has me laughing out loud along with you both every time I listen. All your ideas for “Hyacinth World” had me laughing even more! Jonathan & Willam thank you for such a delightful podcast!

It's OK when they stay on topic

When they talk about KUA, the podcast is terrific. When they veer off-topic and talk about themselves, it's tedious and pain-inducing. Unfortunately, as the podcast has progressed it's become less about the show and more about themselves.
