In celebration of World Chocolate Day, we are proud to invite Simon Dunn Chocolatier on to the Pod, a father and son episode delving into Papa Choc’s journey into confectionery and chocolate production, an insight into life as a Chocolatier and what it was like making the national headlines when closing the Wilmslow shop, the end of an era but the beginning of a new one. Constantly adapting to suit new environments and changing tastes and culture but all with consistent themes of chocolate and passion for making people happy. As one door closes, another door opens.

Enjoy this Episode and let Simon take you on a journey for the senses. Sweet Like Chocolate.

Having Tommy in the studio just made us smile, not only because he's a Rugby Union legend who played for Sale Sharks, Wasps RFC and England in The Six Nations.

He's getting married this Saturday so it was a real privilege to get him in Choc Studios on such a big week.

So interesting hearing about Tommy's journey, his enthusiasm not just for the sport but for people, for taking his experience and lessons (such as injuries) and using those to help others facing those challenges, he's a top bloke with a great story which is exciting to hear and we can't wait to see him go on and smash this next chapter.

All the best Tommy, keep doing you man!

We reserved a seat for you at Arighi Bianchi’s Brunch Club, vicariously and virtually at least! Hosted by NB, featuring guest speaker “Choc”. 

Oli’s talk is around his journey from Oli to Oli The Choc, from shyness to confidence, from uncertain to conviction, from apprentice to master, his talk centres around CONFIDENCE as a running theme, as it always has been, along with “the art of repetition”. What will you take away from this talk? We can’t wait to find out, let’s discuss, voice note us on Instagram.

Simply a classic episode of sofa stories if I may say so, classic NB and Choc variety and randomness which I think the title suggests!

No spoilers here, I think those that listen regularly and know us well will appreciate this one.

Let us know how this one goes down in your ears and what you enjoyed the most.

Thank you always, NB and Choc.

An eclectic mix as usual for a Choc and NB debrief, aka the “5K” catch up episode.

Including an amuse-bouche intro to NB’s trip to the Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic “El Clasico”, Oli’s school reunion and a discussion about politics both side of the pond, Starmer, Trump and a surreal conversation about P-Diddy and the artist formerly known as Kanye West.

An exclusive mini vox pop interview with Dimitris head of sales at the incredible Grind Coffee. 

Never a dull moment.

Let’s get into it but more importantly let us know your thoughts.
