Verging On Stupid Podcast

By James & Andy

Welcome to the Verging on Stupid podcast. Hosted by 2 dads, who are teetering on the edge of being completely incompetent. We will be discussing everything and anything which hopefully brings plenty of laughter, some interesting insights and a lot of complete none-sense. Week by week we will choose a new topic and pick apart the facts and the fiction and no doubt go completely off topic because we're useless.
