Not Ciara ,

Brilliant listen!

I adore this podcast! I don’t know anything about opera and it’s still so funny and informative. I love how much fun Eimear, Cathy and Niamh have together. The question about the sexiest opera was excellent.

Best thing since sliced bread...

I generally listen to podcasts via Stitcher which doesn't have a review feature, so I've logged into iTunes specifically write a review Opera Bluffs - my first iTunes review after a decade of listening to podcasts - because it's absolutely my new favourite thing. I found it last month and binge-listened to every episode thus far, and now I'm eagerly awaiting more!

The hosts, Cathy, Eimear and of course, Legal Niamh, are hilarious both individually and in terms of their dynamic. I've rarely laughed aloud so much to any podcast, and Opera Buffs has consistently made me laugh through each and every episode. It's also genuinely interesting and insightful (and for the trio of adjectives, irreverent!).

Listen, subscribe, you will not regret it,
Darcy.

Very entertaining

Love the interaction between the hosts (and guests). Very accessible and enjoyable, even for non-“buffs”!
