Basecamp with Nic & Sophie

A true crime* comedy podcast about dying on hills by Sophie Dessertaine-Williams (writer, French) and Nicola Lombardi (comedian, Italian). Join these perfect hosts with no known flaws as they pass judgement on their guest’s biggest (or smallest) hills to die on. This is a joyful rejection of the modern culture of toxic positivity and a celebration of winning an argument.

*true crime in the sense that these are crimes against humanity. love you xx
