About this Podcast:

Kathy and Shiv have been talking claptrap for years - and on poddies since 2016. Each episode they tackle a hot topic that needs tackling hotly but also in a very roundabout style. Over the years they've sorted out mugs, art, DIY and crisps. So lend them half an hour of your ears and settle back with the thrusting duo.
