TERRY PRATCHET! IT WAS TERRY PRATCHET! God damn it James you old boot boob!

After many years of listening to James's more successful podcast The Weekly Planet it's nice not having to listen to Maso anymore.....ha bloody got him, but on a serious note this is a really great podcast that I always look forward to. Apart from the great suggestions it's just really nice to listen to a couple who clearly have so much love,respect and banter between them every week.

Incredible rant. More please. A whole pod with just this. I’d gladly pay for this useless content.

It’s a breath of fresh air to have two people be so positive whilst still being so passionate about such a variety of topics. This isn’t my normal cup of tea but there’s just something about this show which makes it so pleasantly surprising every week.

But for real what a fun podcast, suggestions like this help me tackle the oceans of content

After years of listening to the weekly planet and hearing James and maso’s chemistry I thought to myself “why aren’t these two married!”

But now hearing this, I know why

Very easy pod to listen to. Ended up here because I’d exhausted the catalogue of Caravan of Garbage and The Weekly Planet.

Relieved to have more content to while away the work day.

Maso sure does sound different in this though.

It’s a great poddy to fall asleep to. James and Claire are such a lovely mum and dad couple to hear nattering about their favourite stuff

They talk about stuff they want to suggest so it’s a positive review (mostly) which is a much needed change in the world!

I love that I can relate to James by having to pretend to be interested in the stuff my partner likes. Books are for nerds

Very good to hear someone share my bloody view of the royal family (being from the uk most people like them or something) I mean the royal family hasn’t done a podcast I would be alright if that the bloody requirements because podcast is the top form of entertainment.

Anyway very good show

Love this podcast. I have listened to James for a long time and think he is so funny and smart. Claire is a f-ing delight, just as funny, smart and a great pod partner for James...and you know, in life.

However I am British and listening to what James had to say about the Royal family. I have to say, good on ya! Love it and it was

100% spot on. Made me laugh and pump a fist. FIVE STARS!!!!

James keeps saying you can review the pod in any app you listen on, but I listen on Spotify and it’s NOT TRUE. I want to support the show though so I’ve come here specifically to give you all (some) of the stars you deserve. The Weekly Planet isn’t bad either 😉

I am a relentless pop culture nerd, constantly pointing out what that persons from, or what that’s a reference to, and my poor girlfriend is not interested at all but still puts up with my nonsense and enjoys her own things, and so Clair and James are a wonderfully relatable podcast that we both enjoy. The suggestions are always great, but I even more enjoy when we get to glimpse a little deeper into their thoughts on different topics and how they agree and challenge each other in funny and engaging ways. Great pod all round, bonza content!

Been a longtime fan of James and Claire’s other podcasts so checking out their first full-on collaboration was a no-brainer for me, but what I wasn’t expecting was it becoming such an important tool for my marriage!

You see, my wife, like Claire is also a woman-type person and, as luck would have it has a very similar taste in books, podcasts, people and just making the things... she’s also named Claire, but that’s not relevant here.

So, as well as the pleasure I take in hearing these two affable, charming, married podcasters bounce off one another, I also listen with my Amazon app open to add gift ideas - or just earn brownie points by passing on some of Claire’s suggestibles. It’s a win-win mate.

Jane Harper’s Force of Nature and Maria Semple’s Today Will be Different are two recent examples that provided great birthday fodder and I just added Midnight Chicken and other Recipes for a Chrimbo gift (shhh).

Anyway, here’s a suggestible for YOU. There’s a British BBC comedy called ‘Mum’ which is just perfect and I think you would both get something out of. It stars Leslie Manville as a woman getting over the death of her husband through the oddball family she has around her.

As well as being very funny with insanely likeable characters, it has a really warm and touching love story at its heart that comes together slowly across its two short (6 episode) series. Would love to hear what you think!

I’ve never come across anything like Suggestible before. Mr & Mrs Sunday Movies are fantastic, endearing hosts who basically say “we like this for this reason. Check it out if you want to”. So far I’ve really liked the recommendations I’ve jumped in on and I’ve got back into reading books for the first time in ages. Thanks!

My prayers are answered, I needed more Mr. and Mrs. Sunday Movies in my life, and getting them together is more hilarious than I ever imagined. With the added bonus of great suggestions of tv shows, food and more. Just the addition to my subscribe list I needed, thank you!

Honestly this is just a really lovely way to spend half an hour once a week. Such a great pair of equally brilliant hosts. I genuinely look forward to each episode. 6 stars out of 5. I’m magic

5 bloody stars from me mate, great fun, Claire & James have a great dynamic. I always enjoy how different each host’s recommendations are, and the 30 minute runtime adds a level of pace & energy to the show. Plus it always gets me excited to get home and talk to my own wife about things we’ve seen/read. Great pod, keep it up!

Yeah

Not surprised that James wife is as lovely and funny as expected. Listened to the weekly planet for years and this is a great addition! Great chemistry and a great listen, only recommendation is maybe extending the episode ? Or doing some specials on suggestibles you Both agree on like a review ?

P.s. special episode get mason on too?

I am here from the weekly planet pod and am happy I started listening. James’ recommendation of Kim’s convenience was great and I watched all 3 seasons over a weekend because it was so entertaining and funny.

My suggestible is the Ready Player One novel. I know James talked about the film on the weekly planet but if you haven’t read the book I’d recommend it as in my opinion it is better than the film.

I’ve been wanting something like this since James was a guest on Claire’s pod. You two are awesome!

I suggest Claire reads Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer and James watches the movie ( it’s on Netflix but now that you want to watch it, it won’t be).

P.S. - Sunshine is pretty good

Rough overview of each 30 min episode:

Intro

Gentlemen first

Good and fun insightful chat about different suggestions

10+ min spent on roasting each other for taking too long to talk about a certain thing and emphasising that there is a time limit that must be adhered to

More suggestibles

End

Nah really though just two incredibly engaging people dishing out some excellent recommendations. A great listen so far and a nice short snappy length, can’t wait for more!

Me and my wife ruddy love this new pod! The hosts are charming, witty and oh so relatable, they bring together a wide selection of things to review from cakes, to films, from smelly veg patches to books.

Definitely worth checking out!

I haven't even clicked 'play' yet but I know I love it, Ive watched James on youtube since the early days, then followed onto The Weely Planet and love Claire on Just Make Thing.

I've no doubt a mash up of all these things will be awesome.

Keep making the things guys!

Tis a rare gift, but you have it. The free form nature of this podcast is what makes it so enjoyable, no matter how far off topic you two hooligans go, it still never fails to be entertaining. May the banter continue to flow like Coke Zero down James’ gullet.

Get your self a big sandwich and enjoy. Thoroughly enjoyable.

I’ve listened to their other podcasts for years but this might be the tightest and most adorable thing I think they’ve produced. I can’t get enough!

Generic, non inventive review but here we go regardless. I bloody loved it mate

I’ve been listening to The Weekly Planet for years and have gotten into a few planet broadcasting podcasts off the back of that show

However this is something else!

Picture “what we reading, what we gonna read” expanded to 30 minutes, with a different perspective (Claire) so not all sci-fi, comics movies etc.

Also, James and Claire just have the most natural easy listening connection as a couple.

So easy to listen to. So easy to enjoy.

Highly recommended.

Can’t wait for more episodes of Suggestible. Massive fan of the weekly planet and recently been getting addicted to Just Make the Thing and Do Go On. From the first two episodes I’m confident it is just as high in quality. Mr Sunday and Claire have a lot to be proud of with the content they’ve created and content they’ve supported through the creation of the PB Network. Shoutout to nick mason as well, wouldn’t be the same without him. Keep up the brilliant work 👍

Another great addition to the Planet Broadcasting network! Funny with some rambling which is always nice but mostly gets straight to the point. Plus already loads of good recommendations of things to watch and read and listen to! Can’t wait for more episodes.

Great podcast from the James and Claire. They have a real chemistry for this sort of thing..... it’s like they are a real life couple.... Their voices remind me of mr Sunday movies and the lady from just make the thing podcasts which is strange. 😜

I could listen to these two for hours, absolute delight

Don’t forget their other podcasts to

The weekly planet

Just make the thing

Really down to earth, genuine and funny couple. Short episodes great for the commute and most of the recommendations are right up my street. Great pod guys!

I love James' pod The Weekly Planet and follow Clare and James on social media and think they're just great-- even more so together. I really enjoy their chemistry and the recommendations in the first episode of this pod are solid. Definitely going to read The Dry, and I Am Mother sounds intriguing. If you like The Weekly Planet pod or Just Make The Thing (especially the ones with James and Claire), then this is for you. A podcast with two cool people talking about interesting things you might also like to try. Looking forward to the next ep. With love from London, UK -- Alex H

James and Claire have such great chemistry and banter that you could listen to them talk about anything.

Really great podcast for picking up interesting recommendations for things to watch, read and listen to. The suggestions are really nicely varied and the chemistry between James and Claire is always first class.

I really loved the Pilot for this, you guys have got such great chemistry and I like that you’ve taken an idea, ‘what we reading?’ and sort of expanded on it, but in just enough time to keep it fun throughout and not get boring. Can’t wait for more!!

The podcast flows really well. The chat between James and Claire is easy to listen to and they bring their experience of different medias to the table. This is a great way to discover new things!

Would recommend
