Mixed bag..4/10.
I’m a huge fan of Cat, Charles and Richard, and have followed their podcast since the beginning (and some other ventures) however this audiobook was dreadful. The magic of the podcast, the witty comments, the back and forth after each others topics etc is a big loss, Cats topics and performance was ok, Charles sounded like he was just phoning it and bored by what he had to talk about, and Richard didn’t seem to be giving the topics his usual enthusiasm. Maybe this works better as a book, where you can dip in and out and imagine their voices as you read it. Either way it was sadly a bit of a let down which is such a shame.

All the effort went into thinking up the title
Lame, thinly research and dreadfully read. The gutteral warbling of Coles (speak up man) and the nasal bray of Spencer making this almost unlistenable 2/10 see, must try harder
