A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Fun, smart, wholesome. This is one of my “comfort” podcasts. Like a hot water bottle, but hopefully I won’t get my thumb stuck in it.

Yes I am an American but I do love UK podcasts. I find I have far more in common with them, we don’t all think like the stereotypical Americans. I love history and I also find it interesting to hear examples of what is taught in school there as opposed to here. You all are a perfect balance of comedy/history, thank you for making my day!

At first... 3 guys bantering chaotically swinging in and out of the topic was too much for me. But I got into it and it's quite enjoyable. The volume and frequency of advertising is annoying. Can you work the ads into the jokes somehow? Weave it into your narrative. It would be much nicer and I'm sure the powers of these 3 wouldn't even be challenged by the task.

Who doesn’t love the banter of three friends who crack each other up with gales of contagious laughter. And the listener gets to learn fun facts as well! HOWEVER…I will not subscribe to the paid podcast until Tom gets a better microphone!!!
