A very funny and friendly comedy podcast. You don't have to be from the North of England to be able to get the jokes or relate. I think most countries have a similar divide, whether it's north/south, east/west or just city/country. And everywhere you'll find these kinds of stories, which might seem small, insignificant or just downright weird, but which are nevertheless important to a certain community.

Oh, and Gledhill's laugh is so warm and infectious, it never fail's to lighten my mood.

Always good for a chuckle
