  • Sanctimonious

    I only listen to this blithering fool to underpin my own thinking.

    This man only listens to people who reflect his own opinions and belittles those who don’t.

  • The best. But better!

    I listened to JoB every day when I was at my lowest. Now I’m back at work (night shifts) and I miss listening live … so much. Having a podcast delivered daily just made everything better! Thanks James. You deserve to be top of the charts. Only way this could be better would be a weekend edition ;)
