Comedy Duo Alison Spittle and Fern Brady Launch Unfiltered Podcast 'Ignore That Feeling'
Comedians Alison Spittle and Fern Brady have debuted their highly anticipated new podcast, Ignore That Feeling, promising listeners an unfiltered and wildly entertaining experience. The show, described by its hosts as having "no boundaries and no rules," features the duo tackling any topic that captures their interest, often leading to hilarious and unexpected tangents.
A Hilarious Ramble Through Diverse Topics
In their characteristic style, Spittle and Brady dive into a eclectic mix of subjects with sharp wit and candid humour. Episodes have already covered Lily Allen's album West End Girl, which they humorously label a "breakup album for narcissists," alongside frank discussions about sex and even the surprising duration of pig orgasms, reportedly lasting up to 90 minutes. The hosts themselves acknowledge the show's freewheeling nature, noting that the theme often involves attempting to discuss a topic only to get immediately sidetracked.
