Let Your Guests Talk
Good, but at times infuriating podcast. Great guests that often have to fight with the hosts for the opportunity to talk. The Ian La Frenais episode is a painful listen as both Pratt and Kemp interrupt him mid-story. At the other end of the spectrum Bob Geldof is having none of it and just bolts straight from the gate and is only reigned in towards the end.
