Thoughtful comedy

Have listened to the first few and really like. Funny, diverse and intelligent, planning on listening to more. Only criticism is dubious sound quality. Know it's recorded live but could surely improve somehow?

Considered and clever

The whole point being there’s no pressure to be funny on this show.
Interesting panelist’s and some great discussions.

Excellent

Always interesting, and funnily enough comedians just can’t help being funny. I hope it comes back soon.
