Loved it!!!

by Victoria.25

Totally worth a download :)

Welcome back for a second season!

by Bazorkin

I certainly wasn't expecting a second season but here it is and its most welcome. Please come in and help yourself to a warm beverage and a comfy chair.
The first 'season' was an absolute treat. I greatly enjoy David's opinions even when I don't agree with him. He's funny, witty and insightful and the podcast captures all of these in small, easily digestible bits that nevertheless are very filling.
Highly recommended.

Classic

by Russypelican

Very funny. Mitchell is one of the most hilarious people alive, and he's in top form here.
