Customer Reviews
Laugh all the way to work with Tam
I'd never downloaded any podcasts before, but I'd got bored listening to the tunes in my itunes library over and over again, so when I found out about Tam's podcast I knew I'd finally found the podcast for me. I live in London now, and my 40 minute or so journey across the city to work is a laugh a minute now that I can listen to Tam, I'm sure I'm the only teacher in London who's been chuckling listening to Tam's tales of people who are "at it", on my way to class! Absolutely fantastic
typically tam cowan
love these podcasts, however the sound can sometimes be dodgy making Tam's wisecracks hard to hear. would have been 5 out of 5 but for this !!
Rotten
