Customer Reviews
Funny and lighthearted
This is so entertaining! The hosts are snarky but not overly judgmental in their humor. First thing I listen to most days.
The next best thing to actually reading them!
I’m a Brit living abroad, and for my sins, I miss reading British newspapers. This is the next best thing; funny, informative and much better than reading them online instead! Keep up the good work!
Adverts with a bit of news review
Wow this show has a lot of adverts.
Presumably it’ll go Patreon soon to cut them out but at the moment you need to listen with 40 second jump option near to hand
In between the adverts the show is pretty good
