About This Podcast

Neurotics Hal Cruttenden and Ronni Ancona have launched a
podcast, ten years too late, where they seek advice from celebrity friends on how to deal with stress.
They do this while therapeutically completing a jigsaw – clearly a brilliant idea for an audio format – but not helped by their Gen Z producer (who clearly loathes them) and potential sponsors suing them for brand misuse.
