Can’t get enough of this podcast!

I’m obsessed with this podcast. The subjects, storytelling, and banter are all “chef’s kiss”. I’m on my way to hearing every single episode. Even the guests who stood in for Matt while he was out were fantastic! One of the best shows out there, period.

I love this podcast- it makes me laugh, and reconnects me to my British half. And I appreciate so much that it’s rarely triggering. Alice and Matt, please don’t quit this!

So, I just finished season 17 talking about Mrs. Whitehouse, and about how she was trying to censor the media. What I find ironic, is that one of the host was shocked about trying to censor people. When, right now in the UK, the government is literally arresting people for social media posts while the UK police are ignoring actual crimes. I’m sure this podcast will have and episode talking about this scandal, but don’t hold your breath. Im sure they are fine to go and track down social media posters for saying that they didn’t like. This is the epitome of the hypocrisy of people in the media today.

This podcast is definitely interesting. But I like it

Informative and Entertaining

I'm usually not a big fan of the "Buddies Cracking Jokes" podcast format but in this case both hosts come across as professional entertainers who have a great rapport and are both genuinely clever. I enjoy the historical subject matter as well as the British pop culture references. An engaging and informative foray in to all things Blighty and Mighty!
