    You climbed into your hosts' laps and, in a small voice, politely asked for an episode that will make this dreary Christmas temporarily more fun. Well, ask and you shall receive! Ho ho ho!

Shift Run Stop

Two brilliant friends interview other innovators and fun people. Leila and Roo both have a heroic sense of humour. They both have the education with the social competence to do great interviews. I love the snack and drink analysis. They are hilarious. Their interview with Jon Ronson is a good example. It is a shame they don't have more time to create many episodes these days. It is still rewarding to listen to all of their past work. This a rare chance to hear to hear The Team together.

What Fun!

Leila and Roo have a great time talking about geeky and entertaining things. Being from the other side of the pond, it is a great to hear their perspectives on culture and to listen to interviews with entertainers we don't get to see much of in the States. I especially like to hear the reviews of different snacks....

High brow conversation with bonus

Excellently curated and edited conversation with revered cultural people or topics with bonus preview video so it puts it all in context before you listen. Secret 1UP in SRS is Dave Green and his snack reviews which are almost as good as his time with Gideon and Fi on 94.9 or You Don't Know Jack. Great theme muzak too. Well worth a listen.
