Costacoffeeplease · 27/07/2025 23:13

I agree about parenting hell. Depending on the guest there can be little to no parenting chat, and there’s an air of too tight diamond shoes

Costacoffeeplease · 27/07/2025 23:14

I’ve tried what did you do yesterday and chattabix but haven’t got into them

I like Elis James and John Robins

Costacoffeeplease · 27/07/2025 23:15

Rosebud with giles brandreth - he gets good guests and lets them talk
Time Capsule with Micael Fenton Stevens - again, good guests

SweetFancyMoses · 27/07/2025 23:18

Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth. My absolute favourite.

How to Fail - although Elizabeth Day’s sycophancy and overly long intro annoys the shit out of me.

Dish.

Teen Commandments - it’s so funny and relatable, whether you’ve got teens or not it’s a brilliant quick listen

weathervane1 · 28/07/2025 00:17

Dear Joan and Jericha - a spoof pair of agony aunts answering listeners questions with dubious advice. As funny as My Dad Wrote A Porno.
