What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Good banter among the hosts. Some of Paul’s ideas around team selection tend to the hyperbolic (Tim David in the Test 11–Yikes!) but all in good spirit. Overall, an informative and entertaining podcast and well worth a listen.
