Robin Allender - The Door In The Wall (Part 1)
Whenever a Realm Quake strikes at The Moon Under Water change often follows.

So strap in, and join us as we head through the Mists to create a very special Moon Under Water for the most dedicated of regulars out there. To everyone who has accompanied John and Robi...

Al Murray - Operation Supercharge (Part 1)
We all had heroes growing up. As a child Robin Allender used to run around the house dressed as James Joyce, pretending to make his way around Dublin whilst putting on an Irish accent. "Another Guinness, good sir" he'd often be heard proclaiming to his family, who thankfully always refused his requests. Landlord John, on the other hand, admired landlords. He would wake up early every morning and clean all the glasses in the house, before "opening up" the front door at midday. And every night, yo...

Adam Kay - Doctor's Orders (Part 1)
There's a famous joke that does the rounds at The Moon Under Water: "Doctor Doctor, I feel like a pint of ale"... "Well, get yourself down to The Moon Under Water then!" It's an absolute classic, and it goes down a storm every time it's told - and even though it's now been told over a million times in the Correct Realm, we're still going to try it on our next guest. It's writer, comedian, and former doctor Adam Kay. It's a known fact that if you're reading this then you own a copy of Adam's smas...

Andrew Hunter Murray - Frome The Bell Tolls (Part 1)
Once a year in the Correct Realm we host the "Impossible Quiz", in which there are no correct answers to any of the questions. So far the highest score, zero, has been achieved by everyone who has ever taken part. And whilst many have entered undeterred at the idea of walking out without a single point, this week's guest might just be able to find a way of getting a few points on the board.

Helen Zaltzman - The Definite Article (Part 1)
"Podcast". Now that's a word we've never heard in the Correct Realm. We're told it's some sort of audible murmuration in which people are able to share their thoughts and feelings directly into your ears. It sounds mad, and to be honest it doesn’t sound true. However, we’re led to believe that this week’s guest is a pioneer in the world of podcasting, so we’ll suspend our belief as she walks through our doors. It’s broadcaster, writer and podcaster Helen Zaltzman. Helen was one of the very early...

Josh Pugh - HMS Prelude (Part 1)
We often talk about the great pub cities of the Other Realm, but equally as wonderful are the pub towns and villages out there... places that might not seem big enough to accommodate more than one or two drinking establishments, yet somehow manage to cram multiple pubs within seconds of each other. This week's guest is from Atherstone, a town that once claimed to have the most pubs on a single street in the UK. But that's not his biggest selling point; he's also a brilliant stand-up comedian. It...

There's a disturbance at The Moon Under Water. Yes, if you look out the foggy windows you'll notice that the Mists are starting to sway... and that can only mean one thing. It looks like a guest is about to enter the vacinity and we are so excited, because making their way into the Correct Realm is the wonderful Rhys James! Rhys is one of the UK's most beloved comedians, and he heralds from the coolest city in the world. That's right: Swindon. Not only is it the home of XTC, Gilbert O'Sullivan a...

Max Rushden - Obedire Baggarts (Part 1)
If you're a football fan then you'll be familiar with the pre-match pint. It's a magical pint full of excitement, discussions of tactics and - quite often - chanting. The post-match pint, however, is a differenet story. Will it be a pint of joy, or a pint of sorrow? Either way, football and pinting compliment each other perfectly, and this week's guest knows this only too well. It's presenter and host of Guardian Football Weekly Max Rushden! Max grew up in Cambridge, and studied at Oxford; so he...

Tony Livesey - The Royal Dyche II (Part 1)
There is a certain subset of people who have the unique ability to condense even the grandest of stories into a digestible three minute chunk. They don't deal with filler - they get to the point end on a laugh. We are, of course, talking about radio presenters. And because of their unique ability to capture the attention of almost anyone (depending on which station you listen to) they make brilliant pub guests. Joining us this week is one such presenter. Like Blackburn, Burden, Wallece, Hope and...

Em Sauter - The Mask and Mantle (Part 1)
What are the ingredients of beer? What does IPA stand for? What causes the bubbles in beer? These are all questions that are impossible to answer, and frankly we're not even going to try and guess. However, this week we're lucky to be joined someone who might be able to help out with some of the burning questions surrounding everyone's favourite amber liquid.

The Month In Pubs - ‘Ambience Of Brawl’
They say time flies in the Other Realm, but here in the Correct Realm time is a much more sedentary beast, casually grazing upon the fields of desire and occasionally stopping for a drink in the crystal clear pool of reflection. So you can imagine our surprise that it’s already time for our second edition of The Month In Pubs! Landlord John and his trusty regular Robin catch up on recent publy events and delve into the ever-inflating sack of Mist Mail. Do you have some Mist that you’d like to se...

This is going to be one for those of you with a penchant for pinot grigio, or a love for lambrusco, because joining us is all-round wine expert Freddy Bulmer.

It's been a real treat inviting 99 different guests into the Correct Realm, but to mark our centurion episode we decided we need to pull out all the stops... and obviously there was only one person who befit such an occasion.

Jess Phillips - The Dog and Hand Grenade (Part 1)
How are big decisions made at The Moon Under Water? Well, firstly someone tables a motion: usually John, and usually something along the lines of "We need more pint glasses". Next the motion is debated, where you might hear Robin argue that "We have enough pint glasses here, what we really need is more beer mats!". This goes on for weeks, until eventually the motion is put to a vote (and because there's only two permenant residents at The Moon Under Water every single motion has ended in a tie)....
