Love Laura and Em!

Laura and Em have a great chemistry. I love the dry and witty banter they have with each other. Would give five stars - except I’m struggling to listen to a full episode when Kelly subs in. She interrupts, breaks into weird voices and perhaps tries to be funny but isn’t. Em, come back full time soon!!
Not great

I’m a big fan of Mamma Mia podcasts but this one is pretty bad. I really enjoy Laura’s writing but she jumbles her words a lot and uses the wrong words during the episodes. I enjoy entertainment news but this is just too gossipy and badly presented for me.
