Grumpy Old Men

Streaming Costs, Loud Phone Calls and TV Subscription Rage


Listen Later

Mark Wogan, Ash Gould and Virgin Radio’s Steve Denyer are back with another gloriously bad-tempered episode of Grumpy Old Men, taking aim at the everyday modern annoyances driving everyone up the wall. This week, the trio tear into the soaring cost of streaming subscriptions, the endless search for something decent to watch, adverts that are louder than the programmes, and the impossible task of cancelling app payments once they’ve got your bank details.


There is also plenty of fury over software updates that never stop, public transport passengers who insist on loud phone calls, modern light bulbs that promise the earth and deliver nothing, and the nightmare of changing direct debit details. From YouTube Premium and Netflix frustration to apps that refuse to let you leave, this episode is packed with sharp takes on the small things that make daily life more irritating than it needs to be.


And if that was not enough, the grumbles keep coming with rants about season five of TV shows going downhill, people recommending yoga as the answer to everything, and the general misery of modern convenience. If you enjoy funny, relatable podcast chat about the little things that annoy us all, Grumpy Old Men is the perfect weekly dose of moaning, nostalgia and comic frustration.
