But, in the meantime, if we can't be famous, at least we can make you laugh. Now, come along as we dive into the glittery abyss of stardom…!

A wonderfully irreverent natter with quality Sara Lee tangents!

I enjoyed hanging out in the brains of Jen and Will for a swift half hour ramblings. They are very witty and made me laugh. A promising start to the podcast. Looming forward to future episodes and in particular, would enjoy a Traitors episode... who would Will and Jen become famous on that show?
