Jacob Hawley (Part One)

We don't hear anywhere near enough about Stevenage and its satellite towns on this podcast. Today that changes. And it's all thanks to Jacob Hawley. And he is a rare breed - someone who if they sidled up to you at the bar you would actually want to talk to. With advice on bringing your children to the pub (start them young) to the solution to British drinking culture (stubbies), it's a delightful trip to the correct realm. He’s touring the UK now so check out his website to see him soon! If you'...

Tatty Macleod (Part Two)

There's a Gallic sensibility in The Moon Under Water today. Wafts of cognac and coq au vin drift through the air as the patrons get a glimpse across the Channel into a world rich in brusqueness, culinary delights and many of the world's great elixirs. This is all because Tatty Macleod is in to build her dream pub. Probably best known as 'That French TikTok Lady' her unique multi-national upbringing has leant her an Anglo-French cultural insight few others possess. So she brings fascinating peeks...

The Pub Notice Board - 'Dreaming of Mead'

This week, the Landlord has been to an incredible amount of pubs (many of them rather spooky). Given that he's racing so far ahead the question has to be asked: has he already put the '52 Pub Challenge' to bed? Plus, a listener questions Dan's memory, and Robbie discusses getting the train from Slough to Norwich. Do you want to send a message to the Landlord?

An air of excitement has descended over The Moon Under Water. Is it because the days are getting longer, and we're creeping towards the time of year where beer gardens make a return? Partly... but it's mostly because a fantastic guest is about to arrive in the Correct Realm after a rather long journey, and no doubt she's ready to settle in and share her dream pub with us. Joining us this week is comedian Jessica Fostekew! Jessica is an absolute behemoth of the UK comedy scene, and in fact she ha...

Landlord Robbie and his most dedicated regular Dan are constantly tending to the fixtures and fittings at The Moon Under Water, purely because they know that a guest could walk into the Correct Realm at any given time. They have no forewarning, no heads up... simply a knock on the door when the time is right. Coincidentally, it looks like such an event is about to occur, as sauntering their way towards everyone's favourite Pub of the Mind is the stand-up comedian Vittorio Angelone! Vittorio is o...
