“My current favourite way to wind my wife up is to walk round the house singing “I’m rapping to the beat“. Love this podcast. Thanks to Angela Barnes for recommending.”

“I don’t think I’ve ever been bothered to leave a review before but after binging this whole podcast from start to finish in just over a week, I think it’s fair to say I’m a fan. Such a funny and educational podcast that’s able to still teach me something new every time. I love it so much. And now...”Read full review »

“A great listen, funny in places and truly horrible in others, but that is down to the subject matter. I like that the 2 Phils cover disasters of all kinds including the funny stuff like Eldorado, Crinkley Bottom, and the fall of Ratners, and they intersperse these with the truly dark, sad and...”Read full review »

“I was recommended CBW a year ago and have been working my way through the episodes. Each one is clearly well researched, always on a topic that’s new to me and walks the line between facts and fun extremely well. It’s a refreshing change from comedians interviewing each other and dusty...”Read full review »

“Phil and Phil pick a new disaster from history for each episode, break down all the details and examine where everything went wrong. Subjects range from mass tragedies to amusing pop culture gaffes, all handled with a light touch but without making light of any deaths or suffering. Extremely...”Read full review »

“Excellent pod - heartily enjoying a binge listen. These guys strike the right balance between well-judged laughs, detail and pitch perfect accents.
As I’ve learnt from the pod, an abusive 1* review would be funnier to read but in this case it would be dishonest.”

“The Two Phils could have been a classic Victorian comedy double act. Instead (and fortunately for those of us who love this quintessentially British style of humour), they put there own spin on some of the most famous—and not so famous—disasters and cockups from the annals of history.

Of course, some disasters (Coke marketing foul-ups) are easier to make fun of than others (the Moorgate train crash, for example).
Phil and Phil find the laughs while still being respectful to the loss of life, though. The...”Read full review »
