Spit Or Swallow podcast

Comedy EN ↓ 166 episodes

Spit or Swallow is the podcast where comedians Lou Conran, Sally-Anne Hayward and the occasional guest meet each week to chat about what they’ve been drinking — and decide if it was a spit or a swallow. But let’s be honest, they rarely stick to the drinks. Expect hilarious tangents, unexpected confessions, and the kind of chat you’d only hear after a couple of glasses.
