Cuddle Club with Lou Sanders

Plosive

It’s another podcast about cuddling!

Missing hugs in these troubled times? This is the next best thing.

Cuddle Club is the podcast where each week Lou Sanders (Taskmaster, QI, Would I Lie To You?) asks a special guest the hard hitting questions that other non-cuddle based podcasts don’t dare to. Hot stuff like: Which kid did your parents prefer? Why are we all pretending massages are normal? And, can you ever trust anyone to order for you?

Previous guests include Katherine Ryan, Richard Osman, Alan Davies, Sara Pascoe and Aisling Bea.

It’s deep, it’s neat, it’s 100% creep (free). It’s Cuddle Club.

(And do remember to CC everyone in, if ‘CC’ stands for ‘Cuddle Club’.)

Produced by Plosive.

Photography and artwork by Paul Gilbey.
