Predictably enjoyable

Loved this podcast. Great balance between banter and insight.

Thanks

Awesome show - as with Flats and Shanks, I drop anything else I am listening to and switch to your show every time it lands. Great coverage of the RWC and very much recommend your shows to all, especially to ITV who would be mad not to commission you to cover the 6N again. Loving your work, still find it remarkable we get two or so hours of insightful informed entertainment and great guests without charge throughout the tournament. 100 stars!

MrSnoball ,

More please!

Keep up the great podding lads. Loved that last one with JP and Warbs (look out Shanks). It’s probably a massive ball ache to keep making these and do all the TV comms, but please know it’s well received, greatly enjoyed and is adding to the tournament. Thank you.
