Discovered this series earlier today, and have just finished it. Andy is brilliant as always, as are his guests. Interesting, thoughtful and very funny.

Looking forward to series 2!

Excellent as always!

well written and presented by Andy Zaltsman my only criticism is his love of cricket

Great piece of comedy

The greatest living British comedian at his very best. That Andy doesn’t have his own prime-time television show is the biggest injustice of all time. Keep up the great work young man.

Informative and painfully funny.

A great listen. The host is, as ever, awesome and I was glad to hear that the cricket references were still sneaking in! Great guests, a perfect mix of informative and interesting while being light hearted and incredibly funny. I cannot wait for another series and hope this runs and runs. Thank you!

Wonderful.

He's like the best uncle you could have. Awkward, funny, smart the best pun comedian alive today, maybe.

Underated comedian G.O.A.T

OK?

Fantastic podcast as expected was delighted when I saw this, it’s a history and comedy combo - brilliant

Zaltsman is the greatest of all time

He’s a very clever man (as is his sister) an excellent satirist, and also very funny. Also try running a sweepstake as to when he shoehorns his one and tru passion into the discussion. Also try his Bugle podcast. Great fun both. Stuart
