Hilariously Entertaining and Insightful Podcast

Jan and Laurent have me regularly laughing out loud. Peter is great in his own way and helps facilitate the entertainment (not always on purpose). The chess insights are incredible too. There is very little structure to the show and that’s what actually makes it brilliant and fun. They have a few set topics but the mostly freestyle approach is gold. Loved having MrDodgy on a few episodes / recaps. He would make an excellent 4th host. They should at least consider keeping him as a frequent guest host. I highly recommend this podcast!
