The pod's been mentioned previously on the blog but perhaps a proper introduction and review hasn't been done. So here it is.
The pod's good. At the start I couldn't stand Gamble's interruptions during Jame's rants, but i've come to realize he's a good ying to his partner's yang. They balance each other's energies perfectly, James the strange food-related genie cum server who'll bring you anything you desire you your dream restaurant, and Ed as the narrator slash host of the restaurant.
I've been binge-listening to past episodes, and it's been really great, get to know new comedians, find out more about the comedians you already know, and what they like to eat and what they're friends with. The interview with Louis Theroux was particularly good, and so was the recent one with the Jim from the British Office, who's also played Hobbit in the past. They've invited a bunch of American comedians in the past too, including Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon, and it's great that everybody seems to get a good sense of the spirit of the show and plays along.
Except folks like Ronnie Chieng, but that's what adds the spice to the otherwise pretty decent show: the conflicts and disagreements and discussions.
You should give it a listen, preferably with a show interviewing somebody you already know.
