About this podcast
Every week you are our guest in a different old English pub in and around Rutland, UK, where we meet the landlord, chat with interesting folk, and grapple with different topics. Sometimes it’s serious, sometimes it’s funny, sometimes we get sidetracked.
So, who would want to listen to us?
People who like old English pubs, bar conversations, and anyone who loves the quirkiness of what it is to be ’British’.
