Russell Hicks and Zahra Barri are two comedians in a relationship, who have been locked in an apartment together for an entire year. They argue about nearly everything. They have decided to record those arguments and share them with the world. Every episode they will select a range of topics from the world of popular culture, or from inside their neurotic minds, to debate on air. At the end they either 'Agree' or 'Agree to Disagree', but they always find 'Something We Can All Agree On'. Feel free to continue the argument at home with your own partner! Spreading love. It's what they do....
22: Season 1 Finale: Kids called 'Alexa', People who say they read books in a day and rude people on buses!
It's the last episode of Season 1 and Russell is ANGRY after being attacked in the street by a hippy libertarian mother. After he vents about that the couple discuss kids called Alexa, people who say they have read a book in a day and passengers on buses who don't want you to sit next to them. THEY ARE ON A BREAK for the next six weeks or so (the podcast not their relationship) while Russell goes and does something top secret and leaves Zahra alone in their flat to watch the entire boxset of Girls whilst listening to every podcast with Lena Dunham on until Russell returns on the 17th August and Zahra can jump on his head like he is Adam Driver. Peace out Domestic Disputers, for we will be back in September with Season 2. Toodles!!
