  • Scotland is a home nation too

    I usually enjoy Cheat Sheet, but the latest episode was a bit disappointing. They said that we’d find out who was in England’s group for the World Cup, yet somehow didn’t include Scotland at all. It felt like an odd omission and left the update feeling incomplete. Hopefully future episodes give a fuller picture of the home nations.

  • “Chi Chi”??

    I like you guys, I know you from Sky News with your very smart way of interviewing, often saying: “You are not answering my question!” never mind who you are interviewing, in the middle of the sentence, no apologies.

    Very refreshing.

    About the name of the podcast, I guess it’s just me going deaf, but I can’t hear anything but “Chi chi”, which is hilarious.

    Welcome!
