That's not a chip, it's a potato croquette!!

My first live experience of the quirky, charming and extremely funny podcast.

Ian and Amy compliment each other perfectly as they sift through some of the wackier and surreal news stories from the North of England. With particular emphasis on Goole and Hull.

A captivating hour that went by far too quickly.
