If you're a fan of BeerTube then I can already assume you're a fan of Simon Martin aka "Real Ale Craft Beer". He has the biggest English-speaking BeerTube channel with over 74k subscribers and it has received almost 30 MILLION views across nearly 10,000 videos (not all reviews, of course).

Simon and I have known each other since the early days. We've done quite a few collab reviews over the years. This was our first time having a longform conversation in years.

NOTE: We had actually begun recording the podcast last week but we only got about 30 minutes in when he had to leave suddenly so we started from scratch this week. I included that scrapped podcast as a bonus section to this podcast at the end.
