Yet to talk about the ways in which Brown Girls Do It Too is revolutionary does the podcast a disservice."

"(Season/Series 3) For this third series, they have a new all-female production team and it’s noticeable that their presentation has improved with every series. Off-mic, they both speak at a million miles an hour, Rubina possibly at a million and a half. They have a noisy, high-octane energy, like teenagers on the lash."

"Listening to an episode of BGDIT feels like going to the pub with your mates. Fun, carefree, littered with expletives. "
