Very good

This is just perfect British humour. And you might just learn something while having fun.
Though I was a bit disappointed that there was no mention of the lack of genetic diversity in bananas. That is a very interesting story all on its own.

Could be good...

The information in the podcast is intriguing but the silliness of the jokes really impacts enjoyment. The skits, based on information, are cheesy and detract from the overall performance. Found myself cringing in between the good bits.
