Customer Reviews
Amazing
Mr. Giles...shhhhh! Stop interrupting Ms. Dent! Just stop!
I can feel myself getting smarter!
Such and cozy listen. Susie and Gyles are so smart and funny. I love this podcast!
A Favorite
10 stars, 5 for Susie and 5 for Gyles. My goal is not to shout out other podcasts, but I find it funny that my favorite podcasts are all British: “something rhymes with purple”, “no such thing as a fish” and “the infinite monkey cage”. What do the names of these podcasts say about language, and more important, what does it say about me, a medical professional in Alaska!! Keep us laughing…we all need it!
