Toast & Roast
Join Geoff and Georgie as they rant through life’s greatest First World Problems, every Monday! We aim to entertain by being brutally honest and unfiltered, but at the same time being genuine and respectful. If you want to eavesdrop on two people “talking shit”, we are the podcast for you.
