Good conversation never fails to make me laugh
Enjoyed the old format that ran when the tv show was off air. This new style just isn’t drawing me in. Same people but now I’m just getting bored when I listen - their wit can’t have changed so it must be how they’re being told to present.
Love the TV show but this is a disappointing listen seemingly trading off the show’s name. Slow paced and just not funny. Unsubscribed. Page 94 The Private Eye podcast is a much more informed & entertaining take on the news.
Started listening when I couldn’t take any more political news for the day... It was exactly what I needed. Made me chuckle several times.
Easy listening on a walk which is exactly what I’m looking for - some of the episodes really make me chuckle!
Love all four of the presenters but fav has to be Emerald ;) who creates the most creative games!
