Mates Rates

After a exhausting but fun run at Edinburgh Fringe, the guys record one more podcast from the land of haggis and kilts. Have a great time guys.  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thematesratespod/   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The guys are getting close to the end of their Edinburgh Fringe run but the energy is still (relatively) high. They discuss getting reviews, Sammy's Club Penguin heist, and play a few games including Internet Pulse Check, all in front of a very small live audience. Have a great time guys.  Buy tickets to our Edinburgh live show here: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/mates-rates-the-g...

A week in to the boys' Edinburgh run and the demands of show business are taking it's toll. Between sips of Lucozade they chat about flyering, and the surprising highs and lows of the random Fringe shows they made each other see.

It is with a heavy heart that, after what can only be described as a life-changing month, we must bid farewell to Edinburgh, the fringe festival and all the lovely people we’ve met along the way. From our snoring roommate to all the Mates Rates fans we’ve met, you’ll all be missed. In this ep we recap our last week while we’re in the middle of our staff party, as well as ca...

Week 3 of our Edinburgh experience and the boys are down but not out. Hostel work is taking its toll and a diet of supermarket sandwiches is probably not what’s needed to function on 4 hours of sleep. Nonetheless we persevere through inconsistent showers, magic shows, Oasis concerts and so much more. Don't forget to enter our  One Word Weird  competition for your chance to win a ca...
