Customer Reviews
Download issues...
Being a regular listener to Colin’s other pods (Fighting Talk & At Home), I immediately subscribed to this series too. Unfortunately, none of the early episodes seem to download. UHG!! Here’s hoping the problem gets resolved, as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the two I could listen to. Great concept... great execution....
May 30, 2019- managed to download last week’s show and really enjoyed it. Sadly, this week’s episode once again won’t load. Only about half a dozen of the shows have ever been available. A real pity, as the ones I’ve heard have been amazing.
June 15, 2019- still no joy on the downloads, so I’ve taken the show off my auto feed. Pity, but hopefully it’ll get sorted somewhere down the road...
December 20, 2019- YESSSSSSS! The download is now working. And my rating went from ⭐️ to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ just like that. Brilliant content and amazing banter. Thank you, BBC, for sorting it out.
Gem of show!
All the rare treats of peoples music collection coming out in a fun an informal way. Would love a playlist to be made!
Good programme!
The episodes I have heard have been great. The others seem to be permanently “temporarily unavailable”. Would like to hear them though!
