Brilliant podcast - the rapport and humour between Jane and Fi, combined with their fantastic journalistic skills and interviews makes this my favourite podcast.

I love these women. I was lucky enough to have found them back in the BBC days. I remember waiting for the weekly treat to arrive with the charming Shaun Keaveny intervals. They truly make life better. Now I’m just greedy… four episodes a week? Is that all! When they say they need to hurry up,...Read full review »

I laugh, smirk, roll my eyes and groan be it because of the subject, the guests, the content, but it’s like being out with a couple of great friends who just get you and you get them. A must listen or catch up for me. Ideal to pop on while pottering around the house - as the promo says. Never...Read full review »

Love this podcast and their radio show- warm, hilarious, and fantastic interviewers. Can’t wait to see them live in Sheffield!

Loved the interview with Sathnam Sanghera. It was so very interesting and informative and I am ordering a copy of his book. Thank you for your fabulous show

My daily podcast to cheer me up whilst pottering round doing household drudgery. Just brilliant.
GemCooper via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/18/24
I could happily listen to 2 hours each day of Jane and Fi chatting and responding to emails. I can take or leave most of the guests.
Alisouthampton via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/22/23
Could listen to them ‘gassing on’ for hours. Brings joy to my life even though I don’t agree with everything said/discussed. I think you’re a lifeline for millions. Thank you so much x

I love this podcast and I loved Fortunately. They are such easy company and always make me laugh. I hope they never stop making them.
Momin890 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/17/23
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
Schmoofly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/03/23
Great programme, very entertaining, interesting in depth interviews though agree the adverts are an utter pain and interrupt unnecessarily, otherwise I’m a real fan.
EmmaKess via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/29/23
Love this podcast. A joy this week to listen to the two Janes’ who are also a great combo. Hoping one day The Times will realise that what we listen in for is the general chat and emails.
Melina Turtle via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/26/23
Absolutely love this podcast and find Jane and Fi hilarious, insightful and comforting. However- just too many male guests recently. Nothing against them- but find it a bit of a drag when there’s a run!
waca1 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/20/23
Jane and Fi are so many things to me: inspiring, hilarious, comforting, intelligent! I just adore them. They are the best company to have in your ears and manage to make any topic and any person interesting to listen to. Their dynamic is pure magic.
bobertbananas via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/14/23
Having been a long time fan of Fortunately, where these two wonderful souls Fi and Jane saw me through bereavement, a lockdown maternity, and family crisis, I didn’t know what to expect from the move to Times Radio. I am so pleased to have the continuous company of these two talented and...Read full review »

I look forward each week to your podcast. Listening to you both chat, tease and enjoy each others company and guests, I feel as if I am in good company whilst I listen. You never fail to make me smile and laugh and your choice of guests is a great variety too. Thank you. Joanna in Shropshire
Annoyingme65 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/25/23
Five stars for Jane and Fi - none for the boss. Let’s have a serious debate about Rupert Murdoch on the show / podcast - the utter rotten apple he is. I love them both, Jane and Fi, and think they’re excellent at the job. I’ve been loyal for as long as they’ve been together and can’t hack...Read full review »

I am so tired of the constant contempt and belittling of men. This is how we didn’t like men behaving. I have listened to this podcast for the last few years, but it is getting too much. I am not a Tory and I consider myself a feminist, but do not like this tone which feels so anti men. The Rory...Read full review »

Big Fi and Jane fan, but the Rory Stewart episode made me incredibly sad. Not that it was quite tough questions, glad about that, but the general contempt you could feel from them to him, seemed most unfair. It was a bit like “why didnt you fix it then” as opposed to seeing him as the actual...Read full review »

I loved it when F&J struck out from the BBC and this next podcast is even better. Love listening to their intelligent discussion underpinned by naughtiness and complete allergy to dishonesty.
4579311hell via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/05/23
Loved Fortunately and look forward to every Off-Air podcast episode. You’re both hilarious, thoughtful, intelligent… I could go on. As well as your podcast being an overall great format and thoroughly entertaining, I really enjoy the emails your listeners send in and all your varied responses. I...Read full review »

Love the podcast - interesting and funny. Only quibble is why review a book but include plot spoilers?
mummy1980 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/17/23
Thank you for keeping me company on long car journeys.
stellebelle53 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/06/23
The ads drive me nuts. The amount of content vs ads very disappointing if you loved their previous podcast. So if you skip the first 5+ mins you can get to these lovely ladies.
Jc man is cool via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/28/23
iscovered Fortunately with joy during the pandemic, kept listening until it finished, but somehow still had no idea that this new show existed. What a pleasure to find Jane and Fi chatting away again!
Flitlj via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/22/23
An ex-pat who found you in Covid originally, I was dismayed when you finished Fortunately. My weekly episode made me laugh so much but also your clarity when discussing serious things too. I missed you . But I have now found you again and I feel so uplifted about this ❤️ Thanks so much
sianthewelshkiwi via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 07/15/23
This is such a treasure. I love the dynamic chemistry between these two broadcasting giants. Since I discovered them I have never missed an episode, because it feels like a cosy chat and a raucous laugh with your bestie all rolled in to one each and every time. The dream team and an utter delight...Read full review »

My favourite podcast - it never fails to make me chuckle out loud but also educates me on new books, things to watch or think about. Fabulous stuff.
Feona P via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/24/23
Never miss an episode; perfect antidote for when you’re feeling a bit frazzled or need a laugh. Please don’t ever stop this podcast! Lots of love xx

Nothing new fortunately.
Archipelago man via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/03/23
Great broadcasters etc but way too feminist content, lefty liberalism, wokey content all round…
LondonerInTheShire via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/14/23
Radio at its best. I’m an avid listener and look forward to every episode. Thank you Jane and Fi for an excellent podcast. Just fab.
SallyAnnieB via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/09/23
Fi Glover is the best radio presenter working in the industry bar none. And she has been for two decades. She has a voice like the best hug you’ve ever had, a laugh that is utterly intoxicating and a brain that makes you hang on every word she says. What’s more, she’ll lull you into a false sense...Read full review »

Great discussions, interesting topics. Be assured that Jane Garvey will always ask the question you’re hoping the interviewer will get around to asking. She won’t be put-off, she keeps going. Her partner Fi Glover is the perfect pairing to Jane’s wit and humour. Together they keep me company and...Read full review »

And thank you :)
Uglybatty via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/10/23
I love Jane and Fi, they are fantastic broadcasters. I agree with one of the reviewers who commented on the sound balance, Janes voice is often quieter than Fi’s and I have to turn the volume up to hear Jane more clearly, also the guest’s voice often comes through louder than both Jane and Fi, so...Read full review »

I live in Vancouver Canada, go to sleep listening to your podcasts. Thank you, great show. I am so glad there is no stupid background music, for the life of me i don’t understand the need for out of sync loud music as people talk, hence I can’t listen to some podcasts. But who cares your put me...Read full review »

I’ve loved this show in the old and present format, and still enjoy the chemistry between Jane & Fi, Fi & Jane - But …….. it’s starting to feel like they don’t have enough content and are padding the podcast out with the emails which is getting pretty dull for me and I might, reluctantly,...Read full review »

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. :)
perma follower via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/23
Love having a daily dose of Fi and Jane available. Good balance of silliness and seriousness. The music is so tacky that I cringe at it everyday (not in a fun way) so it can’t be a 5* review.
Monkey Haz via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/06/23
I love Fi and Jane, but every time I miss them and try to listen to this podcast again I’m reminded of what drove me away: the awful, repetitive (and LOUD) ads. Never thought I’d miss Shaun Keaveny’s mildly annoying interludes.
