Wonderful

This was one of my favorite podcasts of all time, so many laugh-out-loud moments for me, and just the friendly/brotherly banter between the guys, made my heart smile. I grew up with Take That during the early 90s and have been a huge fan ever since. I’m proud of these guys for still making beautiful music and entertaining audiences around the world. Definitely a great podcast. Wish it was more than 6 episodes!!!

Hits all the right notes!

Absolutely loved the first episode. As a Take That fan you couldn’t ask for anything more. They still have the banter and dynamics as when I used to listen to them in interviews when I was sat in my bedroom as a teenager. I laughed out loud so many times, and was just swept away to a much simpler time. Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes!

My new favorite podcast!

Honestly as a huge Take That fan, this was just a sheer delight to listen to! It feels very intimate, like you're sitting down with the lads and having a good long chat. Many Wonderful stories and anecdotes from Howard, Gary, and Mark. Highly recommended!
