I reckon they should cancel it because people aren't rewatching each episode every day.

Adele, if you love podcasts that are just "two mates chatting about anything," I've got some news for you that's going to BLOW YOUR MIND.

I guess Sachsgate is no longer the worst thing Jonathan Ross has ever done.
The people of Minneapolis will not stop in their fight for accountability for the ICE agent who publicly executed Renee Nicole Good. ARREST JONATHAN ROSS TODAY.
Abolish ICE.
Abolish ICE.

Why would they end the strike? It's improved the smell of Birmingham no end, I imagine.

Fitting and suitable endings are one thing, but making more money is also important, if not essential. Maybe

Every 3 hour podcast is a half hour on Radio 4 trying to burst out of the chest of its host that it will then kill and eat quickly and efficiently because it's a superior organism in every respect and those slobs deserved to die the minute they went to Zeta Reticuli.

So much truth. And controversial view: for me one of the key differences between radio programmes and podcasts is that radio programmes rarely make me shout GET THE FUCK ON WITH IT I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER IN THE PUB I WASN’T THERE

'Member when their signatures came up and it was really sad because we knew their time in the MCU was done but at least they'd had a really fitting ending for their characters? And then Del Boy said "This time next year we'll be billionaires" and it was a poignant funny joke to end it all on?

This is Doctor Who podcasting encapsulated 🤣 Except, y'know, there's no ad reads because it's too niche.

This year's page-a-day calendar sure is relatable.
I don't know if it's *funny*, but it certainly is relatable.

#TheWarBetween started okay, peaked in Episode 2 with a sequence that deserved more than to be in this thing, and just fell off a cliff by the end. It was RTD trying to cross Years and Years and Children of Earth and creating a pale echo of both.
