    There's no guest this evening as over on the live show we were still digesting news that Britain is heading to the polls this July. We'll be back after the bank holiday with Fi and Jane M!

    Is there such a thing as a funny Immodium story? What about a romantic pre-wedding wax? We may never know.

Schmoofly ,

Meanwhile Stateside…

It’s a little weird having best friends who don’t know you, but there we go, Fi & Jane more than qualify on almost every level and I hang out with them daily. They remind me of home, goodness and are very funny into the excellent bargain

Love Them

It’s like listening to old pals chatting and I am so thankful for this podcast, I feel less lonely and just smile to myself when Fi and Jane are on. :)

Still chuckling with Fi and Jane

I followed from their last gig and am glad I did! These two are brilliant: insights into things important and things that are simply part if our lives. I’d love to hear more about Nancy and Dora, though.
