Customer Reviews
An absolute balm
I grew up in the North, then moved south, then moved to California and lost all legitimate claim to Northern-ness. Listening to Ian & Amy feels like an absolute balm as I am driving to work on the freeway. They make me forget about the Cali sunshine entirely! Seriously though they’re a delight. Thanks for all the hard work you do rehabilitating former northerners!
Looooooooove this podcast!
I’m not from The North. I’m not even from the UK. I live in Austin,Texas. Doesn’t matter. Northern News is a FAVORITE of mine. It’s one of the podcasts I most look forward to dropping. I’ve even signed up to their Patreon just to say “thanks” for the consistent belly laughs.
Love this podcast!
Amy and Ian are both so fun and hilarious. It feels like spending time with good (much funnier than average🤣) friends! Northern News always brightens my day. Keep up the great work!
