I wish I had found it sooner!

Heard and advertisement during P1 with Matt & Tommy and figured I’d give it a shot; the more I listened the more I loved it! The characters, the storylines it straddles the line between completely plausible and utterly ludicrous, it’s a perfect blend of hilarity. The voice cast does an amazing job, the jokes range from smart and punchy to raunchy and childish and everything in between. I wish I had know about it earlier to follow it weekly, but at least now I have a huge catalog to catch up on! #Nolanout #ashwoodcity #superwhites

Spot on

Listening again for the second time through. Will keep in my library until we’ll past it inevitably ends.

It’s the book or the movie or tv show or album you always go back to.

Best Show Ever
