Great Show

Dawn French interview was SO good - great show overall.

Excellent pod

BLANK is a wonderful listening experience. Hosts Jim and Giles are easygoing conversationalists that bring out real responses from their guests. I honestly feel like a fly on the wall when I listen to them. It’s a bit like eavesdropping in on your favorite celebrities from all walks of life. Truly a gift to the pod space. Can’t recommend it enough.

Great podcast

Not forced and very easy to listen to. I really enjoyed the David Harbour interview. I suffer from severe depression.
