Bang On It Podcast
Michelle De Swarte and Laura Smyth review things from their week so you don’t have to, and tell you if they’re worth your time.
In this chatty new podcast, comedians Michelle De Swarte and Laura Smyth review their weeks and share what they’re obsessed with, and whether it’s worth your time.
Will having cold showers every morning make you a better person? (No, they will make you cold.)
Are first class train tickets worth the extra £200 quid? (Sometimes.)
Is it possible to upload a selfie to Instagram without looking like a d&*k? (Probably not but won’t stop us trying.)
We’re going low brow, we’re going high brow. We’re doing the hard yards so you don’t have to.
