Huge love to Cheerful Earful for such an even! Well done to our improv pals at Push The Roll for winning Best International Show. That was well deserved! Other notable wins for the lovely Tom Davis on Wolf & Owl, our fellow Irishmen on This Paranormal Life and the terribly brilliant Tom Crowley!

What an honour it was to be nominated in four categories at the Golden Lobes. Our silly little labour of love is less than 7 months old, and has only 8 episodes so far. So to see our name up there alongside some honest to goodness juggernauts of the comedy podcasting world was truly incredible.
