  • Donna, but all names are taken
    Hands down, funniest show
    Need a laugh? step right up. Need to feel normal? Whether it be by comparrison or shared experience, its here.
  • Gsquill
    Truly hilarious, my new favorite podcast
    I started my “wheel of misfortune” journey when I googled “funny podcasts” and of course each website has lists of twenty podcasts or so but one review stood out to me saying that they “wet themselves laughing” and I immediately started listening and I am laughing at my desk at work all day now. Some of the stories are terribly relatable, I love them all.
  • Xtina26
    Their laughs give me life.
    Such a hilarious and amazing podcast. I honestly just want to move to the UK and be besties with Fern.
  • freneticaesthetica
    A Flippin’ Gem!
    Oh my goodness - I happened upon some clips of this podcast online and just fell in love! Not only are the hosts an absolute riot but their voices are a dream 🤗 Please, if you do anything in your life, listen to Allison & Fern (& lovely future cohosts)’s Wheel of Misfortune!
  • feministprofessor
    #1 best laugh in podcastland
    Great, funny, sweet, and tough podcast. And I have a huge crush on Allison’s laugh! Sorry to see Fern go.
  • Jules_1006
    Keep Fern, bin the screeching co-host.
    Fern is great and the guests are good but the whole thing is rendered unlistenable because of the other co-host‘s constant high pitched screeching and desperate fake laughing drowning all the other speech out.
  • Missmegan1521
    Shifts and giggles
    Blessed be all the people who want to share their embarrassments to a wider public.
  • phxtrain
    Lots of fun
    I usually don't like shows that have 2 hosts riffing but these 2 do great - they don't talk over each other. They are smart and funny. Highly recommended
  • Wolvie's girl
    So good!
    I wish the episodes were longer! The hosts have such great chemistry, I love all the stories, and I always laugh listening to it. Thank you for giving us this podcast!!
  • RosiE23654
    Best. Podcast. Ever.
    I’ve literally never written a podcast review but I had to for this one. Fern and Allison are incredible people and absolutely hysterical. I laugh out loud at every episode. Listen!! You will not be sorry.

  • OhPioneers_taco
    Love it!

  • AlexisRWood
    so funny!!
    discovered from an ad on a james acaster podcast, been binging the last two days, one of the highlights of lockdown, haven't laughed this hard in awhile
  • JonnyFNbenson
    So much fun
    I enjoy listening with crisps and a pint of Ale
  • wexincano
    Class
    Love the guests, hosts, structure and content
  • Listener in California
    A Hilarious Podcast! Good Craic!
    Fern Brady and Alison Spittle are hilarious together and both have great laughs. I have all the time in the world for brilliant women comedians who also have a sometimes filthy sense of humour. The guests and the listeners have great stories that are human, but also filthy, gross, or wild. This podcast offers all that and more.
  • CuriousRozh
    Singing, Humor, Misery
    Like a 1950’s Broadway poster, It has it all. And these ladies are good at jokes. Would recommend.
  • WiscoSam
    Worth it
    Seems like it's going to be good and funny
