Who Takes the Socks Off?
A comedy podcast where a bunch of friends discuss the questions you never even knew you needed an answer to until you heard them.
If you enjoy shows like QI or No Such Thing as a Fish and want an alternative where the truth is important, but the random banter more so; this is the place for you.
Educational? ... Occasionally.
Irreverent? ... Usually.
Random? ... Always!
