“Scarily, the lies that Andy and guests make up are more credible and logical than the world they are satirising. Always enjoy a new episode, and will often go back many years to hide from the present. Sadly running out of back catalogue. Where’s the Time Machine to create more old episodes?”

“I guess, decide for yourselves, but for my (🇨🇦) money it’s one of the best out there. And forgetting Andy, his guests are also brilliant. Alice, Nish, Nato and Harry in particular (though in no particular order) are world class great. Keep it up you guys. And thanks!”

“The British comedian/commentator Andy Zaltzman and his guests discuss current events in Andy’s shed. Ok, usually the guests aren’t actually in the shed with him, but the show does have the feel of a casual conversation one might have over a beer with friends, provided those friends are incredibly...”Read full review »

“How many times listening through every episode is too many?
The early years (up to season 2) with Andy and John are the best, but the guest appearances from season 3 are also very good.”

“Usually a fun UK perspective on current events. Unfortunately Andy’s guests sometimes just espouse Progressive bigotry, negativity and meanness. But Andy avoids piling on and can find humor in nearly all situations. At a minimum, you’ll hear the best (and worst) wordplay of any podcast.”

“Truly wonderful satire and whacky humour that, once you get to know it, will have you waiting for the next episode with a sense of longing, like for a long-lost weird but quite wonderful friend… Andy & 2 guests + producer Chris really make life better & more fun, every week.”

It has also exposed me to so many new comics that I now seek out their comedy: Alice Fraser, Nish...”Read full review »

“Longest-lasting podcast (at 15 years) at least that I’ve been listening to, from back in the dark days when nobody knew what a podcast was. And for good reason: intelligent, subversive, hilarious recap of the last week(s) from “the audio newspaper for a visual world”.
With the center of gravity...”Read full review »

I’ve listened to every episode in the archive—most twice. When are you going to book Zaltzman on Mark Steel’s podcast. & as the Scottish 2nd referendum approaches next year, when are you going to book him (& take Steel & Kumar with him) to “Real Time with BIll Maher.” ...”Read full review »

And check out the episode with the ‘exclusive outtakes’ from when...”Read full review »
