Alison Spittle and Fern Brady's Hilarious New Podcast Ignore That Feeling
Comedians Alison Spittle and Fern Brady have unleashed their new podcast, Ignore That Feeling, described by the hosts as a show where they attempt to discuss a topic but immediately get sidetracked. This no-boundaries, no-rules format delivers a hugely entertaining ramble through a variety of subjects, ensuring listeners are in for a fun-filled experience.
Unfiltered Conversations and Wild Topics
The podcast features spontaneous and humorous discussions on everything from Lily Allen's album West End Girl, dubbed a "breakup album for narcissists," to candid talks about sex, with observations like "there's more frigid people in England than Ireland." Not shying away from the bizarre, the duo even delves into the length of pig orgasms, reportedly lasting up to 90 minutes. It's a lighthearted and engaging listen that promises lots of laughs.
