A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Early this year I wrote the guys to tell them it was their soothing voices that I listened to during my vasectomy. They then read it on the show and then had months of birth-controlled fellas writing in with support and their own stories.
It’s the show I always go to when I’m feeling down - good friends are good.

Discovered this show through Abroad in Japan and always have a blast listening to Luke and Pete. I laugh out loud almost every episode and the fact that I listen to Luke and Pete earned me some cred with a British coworker of mine.

This podcast is like listening to two of your friends talking about random things in your living room.
Luke and Pete are witty and topical. I have been listening to them on this podcast and the Football Ramble for over 10 years.
Highly recommended

I wasn't going to leave a written review, but after seeing a few low ratings because of Pete's political commentary, I decided to chime in. I've been a fan of the Abroad in Japan podcast for a year or two now, and whenever Pete would dip into politics a bit there, I found myself wanting to hear more. I stumbled onto the Luke and Pete show by accident and was delighted to hear that Pete is much more open on this podcast. I love that the podcast isn't really about any one thing and that the conversations flow effortlessly. It's become a go-to of mine for my evening workouts (super appreciate distraction by way of humor). Pete, never change. Luke, you're a new voice to me but you seem rad. Thanks for the entertainment, guys!
