| WhatWillyCook - ‘I Smoked A Twiglet’ | 02 Sep 2024 | 00:28:15 | |
Internet chef and wordsmith WhatWillyCook has built his dream pub, from the foundations to the pumps. Now he fills it with tales and all manner of chat on Drinks In Time, Dream Companions and twiglets. It’s the second consumable bite of the pubbing cherry. And in said cherry is a dive into heroes and a rather harrowing drink which inexplicably Will is choosing to relive. And Dan wheels out a pub quiz which he worries is actually too gettable for once. Top stuff. Will’s @whatwillycook on Insta and @whatwilly on TikTok if you develop your own thesaurus and make a toast / big lunch / some pasta or something. Want to share anything with The Moon Under Water? Or maybe you’ve got some thoughts on something Will’s had to say. Well it can feature on our weekly Pub Notice Boards.

| WhatWillyCook - The Busman's Q*eef | 02 Sep 2024 | 00:37:20 | |
What do you get if you combine one squeeze of lemony p*ss, two cracks of pepper noir and a heaping dollop of Shoju, it’s Whatwillycook’s dream pub of course. There’s a lot of people cooking food online, but there’s few having anywhere near as much of a laugh while doing it as Will Hughes. No not the Crystal Palace midfielder, rather better known to you as Whatwillycook on the socials. He’s got a cracking turn of phrase and combines that with a deep but also everyman gastronomic knowledge. From Sagres to Super Bock, he is absolutely ripe for laying the foundations for his fine establishment. Will’s @whatwillycook on Insta and @whatwilly on TikTok if you want to go nosey at his recipes to grab one for your tea. Check out the second part of the chat for so much more!

| Dry Cleaning - Suzie’s Bar @ The Energy Dome | 11 Aug 2024 | 00:48:59 | |
Flo and Lewis from post-punk band Dry Cleaning are in with Robbie and Dan to build their dream pub. We’re looking at two pubfessionals, who’ve put a serious amount of thought into their setup. So much so that Regular Dan’s own facts are sidelined for a guest masterclass in knowledge nuggets. There’s an ingenious food suggestions, talk of pets, Antiques Roadshow and being the complaint guy.

| Lloyd Griffith (Part Two) | 18 Dec 2023 | 00:55:04 | |
*This is part two of Lloyd Griffith's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing* When the Mists in the Correct Realm start swirling it can mean only one thing: no, there's not a storm brewing, but a guest is on their way to The Moon Under Water.

Lloyd is a man of many talents: he's a brilliant comedian, he's an incredible singer, and he's fantastic pub company.

But what sort of alehouse will Lloyd conjure up from within his own mind? Join us in the Correct Realm to find out now. Do you have a message you want to send to the Landlord?

As Christmas parties take hold of the Other Realm, why not take a moment out of your day to join Robbie and Dan as they take their weekly look at The Pub Notice Board? Beneath the layers of cards, invites and missing pint posters, there's also some lovely correspondence about pubs of the past, and a final word on the smallest pub in the country.

| Jon S. Baird (Part Two) | 11 Dec 2023 | 00:58:41 | |
*This is part two of Jon S. Baird's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing* As we all know, The Moon Under Water only exists audibly (and on social media in the form of short-form video content, but for the purposes of this let's ignore that). It's impossible to capture just exactly what the Correct Realm looks like; which would make things very difficult should we option the film rights to everyone's favourite 'Pub of the Mind'. However, if we were to go ahead and create a feature length film about the history of The Moon Under Water we know who we'd want to direct it, and they just so happen to be our guest this week. It's BAFTA winning director Jon S. Baird! Jon is known for directing some absolutely incredible films, including 'Filth', 'Stan & Ollie' and 'Tetris'. But before he headed to Hollywood, Jon cut his teeth working alongside the very Landlord and regular that look after The Moon Under Water. Will we hear about their pub escapades from back in the day? Maybe. Will we discover what the likes of Errol Flynn and James Cagney enjoyed drinking on set? Probably not. Are you invited for the journey? Absolutely. If you want to contact the Landlord, you can send us an email; robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

| The Pub Notice Board - 'Eating Rudolph' | 07 Dec 2023 | 00:25:29 | |
The Landlord has returned from Lapland, so it's time for a good old catch up. Topics covered include Christmas parties, eating reindeer, and expensive whisky.

| BambinoBecky (Part Two) | 04 Dec 2023 | 00:42:56 | |
*This is part two of BambinoBecky's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing* Wales is famous for many things: singing, beautiful scenery, rugby, leeks... the list is endless. It's also a country that is home to some of the most incredible pubs on earth. Our guest this week hails from the aforementioned Celtic nation, and with her she brings a vast amount of pubbing experience. It's YouTuber BambinoBecky! Becky is the host of "See If Off", a series in which she interviews guests whilst imbibing 10 different drinks. Given this, we imagine she has quite a few thoughts on what makes a great pub... we even heard a rumour that she used to work in one! We can't wait for Becky to join us in The Moon Under Water, and as always you're invited too! Got a message you want to pass on to the Landlord? If so, send it to robbie@moonunderpod.com.

| The Pub Noticeboard - ‘Pepys & Dickens Doing The Heavy Lifting’ | 08 Aug 2024 | 00:24:43 | |
Many a musing in the Moon today for the Landlord and his Regular as Robbie and Dan sift through your thoughts with a tooth comb. And a fine one at that. Nearly as fine as our prospective pub correspondents up and down the land. And the job applications take us off in directions as varied as Great Historical Pub goers and KPIs. If you have your own amusing musing, such as a great rubber of time gone by, to send in to us the place to email is robbie@moonunderpod.com. Or feel free to DM us on socials @moonunderpod.

| Introducing… Carrie Jade Does Not Exist | 01 Dec 2023 | 00:25:32 | |
Here's the first episode of another podcast from the producers of The Moon Under Water. Carrie Jade Does Not Exist is the story of how one woman, who took on over six different identities, infiltrated the lives of vulnerable people, and lied her way into gaining their trust. Sue Perkins and journalist Katherine Denkinson will tell the story of how Carrie built up a picture-perfect persona and scammed her way into the literary world until she finally got tangled up in her very own web of lies. Listen to the full six-part series wherever you get your podcasts! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| The Pub Notice Board - 'A Landlord In Lapland' | 30 Nov 2023 | 00:14:51 | |
Though Landlord Robbie is now fully tied to his job at The Moon Under Water, sometimes he does manage to get away from the Correct Realm for a bit of time away from the pub (don't worry, Dan is still there to make sure that nobody steals any pints). Incredibly, for this week's episode of The Pub Notice Board Robbie has travelled all the way to Lapland with future guest BambinoBecky! Join them as they sample some of the finest pubs Rovaniemi has to offer. We'll be back to regular business next week! Got a message you'd like to share with us? If so, send it to robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Fin Taylor (Part Two) | 27 Nov 2023 | 00:38:00 | |
*This is part two of Fin Taylor's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing* Although nobody knows just exactly how old The Moon Under Water is, it's widely accepted that it was created thousands of years before the advent of the internet. And although we're at the forefront of pub technology, we actually held off sorting an internet connection in the Correct Realm until very recently. What made us change our mind? Well, we heard about this week's guest, and wanted to make sure that we could access ALL his content whenever we want. It's comedian Fin Taylor! As well as being one of the best comedians this country has to offer, Fin is also the host of the smash YouTube series 'Fin vs the Internet', in which he grills a different guest each week about how to make it online. However, it's now his turn to be grilled, but purely on all things pint. It's safe to say that we cannot wait for him to join us, and we hope you enjoy what he has in store. If you want to keep up to date with what Fin has coming up then hop onto fintaylorcomedy.komi.io, and to binge watch 'Fin vs the Internet' make sure to head to youtube.com/@FinTaylorcomedy (and whatever you do, don't forget to subscribe!). Do you want to contact the Landlord? Whatever your query, send it to robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

It's time for our weekly trip to view what's been posted onto the Pub Notice Board. This week we hear an incredible Cheeky Girls anecdote, more stories about expensive pints, and there's a lovely email about the rise of alcohol-free beers.

| Jason Williamson (Part Two) | 20 Nov 2023 | 00:38:41 | |
*This is part two of Jason Williamson's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing* It might come as a shock to many of you, but over the years The Moon Under Water has served as a place for some of the best musicians to share stories, hone their craft, and generally get creative. For example, did you know that Brian Wilson wrote "God Only Knows" whilst changing some barrels in the cellar? And Beyonce was inspired to write "Crazy In Love" after seeing Landlord Robbie staring at the pump clip of one of the guest ales? This week we're joined by another musician, who's ready to get creative with designing his dream pub. It's Sleaford Mods vocalist Jason Williamson. As a member of Sleaford Mods Jason has travelled the globe sharing his music with millions; and for those of you interested in seeing them live they're about to embark on a UK tour! Though Jason no longer drinks alcohol, here at The Moon Under Water we feel it's important that EVERYONE can enjoy pubs, and we can't wait to hear what his sober pub looks like. Have you got a message you want to send to the landlord? If so, send it to robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

| The Pub Notice Board - 'The Sweet Cheat' | 16 Nov 2023 | 00:33:33 | |
It looks like there's been plenty of documents pinned to the Pub Notice Board at The Moon Under Water, so come and join us to see what's going on. Dan shares a heartwarming Hamburg tale, a listeners shares some brilliant Dublin pub recommendations, and Robbie dreams of the podcast becoming as big as The Beatles.

| David Jesudason (Part Two) | 13 Nov 2023 | 00:43:36 | |
*This is part two of David Jesudason's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing* Many believe that the UK is the ultimate pub destination due to the sheer variety of pubs that you can visit. Old pubs, flat-roofed pubs, pubs that date back centuries. However, the hidden gem of UK pubs is arguably the desi pub: a place that grew out of attempts to break the racist colour bar of the 1960s which often meant non-white customers were refused service. These pubs, predominantly ran by British-Indian landlords, may not be the most well known, but they are some of the best in the country. This week we're joined by an actual alehouse expert who has visited LOTS of desi pubs; it's author and journalist David Jesudason! What David doesn't know about pubs isn't worth knowing. He's also one of the go-to experts on desi pubs, having written his own book on the subject (which is available in all good book shops). But would his dream pub be based on desi pub, or would it go down a different route? Join us in the Correct Realm, as we're about to find out. Got something you want to send to the landlord? If so, get in touch: robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

| Stevie Martin - ‘What’s The Milk About?’ | 05 Aug 2024 | 00:36:31 | |
Comedian, actor, writer, everythinger, Stevie Martin has built her dream pub brick by brick, pint by pint. It’s a really lovely classic pub called Jack’s Balls. Now it’s time for her to let us know of a whole host of things that’ll also be going down there including the drink she’d most like to relive and her Dream Pub Companion. We skate across your usuals - nuts, wasabi peas etc. - but also into the some more rogue tales such as milky jaunts and the charms of sad karaoke. Stevie is at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe throughout August performing at Monkey Barrel. Go and check her out, she's very funny. Want to share anything with The Moon Under Water? Or maybe you’ve got some thoughts on something Stevie had to say. Well it can feature on our weekly Pub Notice Boards. Just email robbie@moonunderpod.com to get in touch. Hosted on Acast.

| The Pub Notice Board - 'Veggiewurst' | 09 Nov 2023 | 00:27:59 | |
What do you want if you're about to go on holiday? That's right: recommendations for places that nobody can remember the name of, or restaurants that you can't eat at due to being a vegetarian. This week for our dedicated regular Dan he was on receiving end of one such recommendation ahead of his trip to Hamburg weekend, so you can be sure that he's going to find some absolute gems when out on the continent. Plus, we hear about Robbie's recent dining experience eating the UK's most expensive sandwich. Do you have something you want to share with the Landlord? If so, send it to robbie@moonunderpod.com.

| Tim Lovejoy (Part Two) | 06 Nov 2023 | 00:49:12 | |
*This is part two of Tim Lovejoy's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing* It's no surprise that televisions are a divisive topic in pubs. On the one hand they can provide entertainment during sporting events, or fill an awkward lull in conversation on a bad first date. On the other hand, they can be an unwanted distraction; when instead of having a lovely group discussion, everyone ends up watching 'The Chase' on mute. However, it can't be denied that TV has produced some real legends over the years, and today we're happy to be joined by one of them, because creating their dream pub this week is the one and only Tim Lovejoy! TV's Tim Lovejoy will be familiar to many of you as the current host of 'Sunday Brunch' and the former host of some programme called 'Soccer AM', the latter of being where Tim and Landlord Robbie met many moons ago (before Robbie decided to have a go at running a fictional pub). We're sure they're going to be sharing plenty of stories from back in the day, and you're all invited along. Remember; if you want to contact the Landlord then send an email to robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

| The Pub Notice Board - '11,000 Taps' | 02 Nov 2023 | 00:25:46 | |
Gather round everyone, as Robbie and Dan are about to take another look at what has been pinned onto the notice board here at The Moon Under Water. There's more bizarre rider requests, a definitive list of the best train station pubs the UK has to offer, and plenty of spoilers about who's joining us soon. Do you have something you want to send to the guys? Maybe it's a Hamburg pub recommendation for Dan? If so, send it to robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast.

*This is part two of Chloe Petts's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing* No, your eyes aren't deceiving you; the Mists genuinely shifting to create a football pitch (complete with football, goals and nets). Good luck kicking a ball made out of water vapour, but this does signify something bigger. It seems like The Moon Under Water is preparing itself to welcome a football-mad guest... and it is so! Approaching the Correct Realm is stand-up comedian and self-described "football lout" Chloe Petts! Chloe has been described as "one of the most compelling young comics" in the country. As well as performing countless shows around the UK, sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and numerous writing credits, she's also the founder of The Lol Word, a queer comedy collective based in London. But the most impressive of all her talents? She's a Crystal Palace fan; and a passionate one at that. Here's hoping she's just as passionate about pubs as she is Roy Hodgson. Do you have a message you want to send to the Landlord? If so, you can reach him via robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

Come one, come all, it's time to gather around the Pub Notice Board once again... and doesn't Landlord Robbie have a tale to tell? Yes, fresh from his trip to Sheffield he's here to share which pubs he visited (including one which has been described as "the greatest pub in the world").

| Rory Powers (Part Two) | 16 Oct 2023 | 00:46:34 | |
*This is part two of Rory Power's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing* Everyone knows that The Moon Under Water has been around since the beginning of time itself, and over the years thousands of guests have passed through its doors. However, what many of you won't know is that there is a collection of ghosts that is ever present in the Correct Realm, spending their days watching over the barrel changes and bar polishings of each day... which is great news for this week's guest, who loves all things spooky. It's host of 'This Paranormal Life' Rory Powers! In 'This Paranormal Life' Rory and his co-host Kit Grier Mulvenna investigate a different paranormal case to try and find the truth inside the mystery. They're also on tour in the UK later this month, so make sure you grab your tickets! We're not sure how many of these cases involve ale, but thankfully Rory is a very keen pubsman himself; so we're sure he'll come armed with plenty of stories. Do you have a message you want to send to the landlord? If so, send it to robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

*This is part two of Richard Archer's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing* It's 2005. You've just finished your shift at Woolworths, and you're off for a couple of VK's with your pals. You've donned your best skinny jeans and blazer combo, and the vigour of youth is running through your veins. And as you step into your first venue of choice, what band is blaring out of the speaker, perfectly capturing the mood of a generation? That's right, arguably the most underrated band of all time; Hard-Fi! If only their lead singer was to walk into the pub now, that would make the night even better... and wait, here he comes now. Yes, joining us at The Moon Under Water this week is the one and only Richard Archer of Hard-Fi. Having been in the band since it started Richard has been lucky enough to travel the world, seeing some of the greatest pubs to ever exist. He's also going to be seeing some of the UK's best pubs very soon too, as Hard-Fi are about to embark on a UK tour! It's going to be an absolute smash, and you'd be a fool to miss it. But away from all this rock and roll malarkey, what does Richard think of pubs? Well, thankfully Robbie and Dan are on hand to ask the hard hitting questions on all things pint, and we can't wait for him to join us. Do you have a message you want to send to the landlord? If so, send it to robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

*This is part two of John Niven's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing* Who doesn't love Scotland? The people are friendly, the pubs are glistening, and the pints are always flowing. It's arguably the ultimate location for pub lovers around the globe, with a higher QPPSM (quality pubs per square mile) than anywhere else. This week's guest hails from the northern side of Hadrian's Wall, and is arguably THE best person to spend an evening at the pub with. It's author and screenwriter John Niven! John's debut novel 'Kill Your Friends' became an instant classic, and includes plenty of references to the pubs of London. His latest book, 'O Brother', has been put straight into the library at The Moon Under Water, and we cannot recommend it enough. John is also a HUGE pub lover, and we cannot wait to hear what his dream alehouse will look like. Want to contact the landlord? Send us an email to robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast.
