Adam Rowe—co-host of Have A Word, one of the UK's biggest podcasts—joins Abby to rant about everything from people who stop walking in doorways to why comedy doesn't need a message. The Have A Word pod pulls 1.4 million downloads a month and is the biggest Patreon outside America, but Adam's got strong opinions on airport queues, dog kisses, and why men absolutely DO piss in sinks.

Fresh off announcing his new tour "Fashionism" (yes, really), Adam breaks down how to build a Patreon empire, why comedians need to stop being surprised when offensive jokes offend people, and the working-class comedy mindset that made him one of the UK's most successful standups. Plus: IBS confessions, Jamie Johnson stories, and why sitting down to pee is actually elite behavior.

After breaking out with YeahMad and more recently co-founding Australian YouTube group The OG Crew, Abby Boom has become known for her sharp wit, deadpan humour, and unapologetic delivery.

Her new podcast Don’t Get Me Started with Abby Boom isn’t therapy, but it might feel like it. This is the podcast where guests come to unload their frustrations, confess petty hates, and dive into the everyday annoyances of life online and off.

Expect chaos, comedy, and plenty of yelling about the little things that somehow matter way too much. From influencers and celebs to internet troublemakers, nobody is safe, and that’s exactly the point.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Historian Kate Kennedy (The History Gossip) joins Abby to spiral through history's wildest moments—from Grace Darling's accidental celebrity status to the devastating truth about the Trojan Horse. They bond over Hannah Montana wigs, debate which Disney characters were hear-me-outs, and somehow end up discussing Napoleon's preference for "stinky" intimacy.
