We were joined by Sam, the owner of Belgian Beer Company. You can find them online at www.thebelgianbeercompany.com - they offer a great range of Belgian, German and beers of the world. Many of the beers we've drunk on this podcast have been bought from there. We talked about how she got started, how the company has grown and how trends are changing in the beer market. She also gave us a virtual tour of her warehouse (adding extra value to the YouTube version of the podcast). Go grab yourself an ice cold Belgian ale, kick back and enjoy.

There's no Andy this week but Gaz is back from his trot about the globe. We were joined by Jenni and Joyce, ⅔ of the Scottish Alchemists. We took the Fruits of the Forest gin made by local distillers The Edge for a test drive. Spoiler alert: it's fantastic. Get yourself along to theedgegin.co.uk to check it out for yourself. There's no banana dolphin in this episode but a new garnish is born... and this one actually compliments the gin. There's all the usual gin talk about Floral snatch, rimming and Negronis so go grab yourself a G&T, kick back and enjoy.

There's no Gaz this week as he's in San Francisco and Andy is off doing the Dark Lord's bidding... so Beans is joined by friend of the show, Dave to take a look at conspiracy theories and how to spot them. We look at 7 conspiracy theories : The Great reset, Bill Gates is a Bond villain, Kubrick faked the moon landings, The Biden election was fraudulent, Scientific proof that we have a soul, chemtrails and Avril Lavigne is Dead. We look at the likelihood that these are true - keeping in mind that Dave is sceptical at best - and try to figure out why conspiracy theories are so popular. We look at the very nature of them and how they are viewed. As always we'd love to hear your opinions on any of this.

No Gaz this week but Andy and Beans were joined by Mark Birtles (a Crewe Alexandra fan and regular on The Railwaymen podcast) and Dave Cartlidge (a Man U fan and girls' team coach of a local team). We talked about a lot of the issues that surrounded the sport that we all love. It's difficult to talk abou the game without looking at the gulf in the finances between the Premier league and league 2, how the English press can influence our opinions on players, players loaned out from the big clubs to the lower leagues and of course how the English Ladies recently made history.

We were joined by an old School friend who went on to become a vicar. We've mentioned Richard Pollard on the Podcast before, chiefly the talk he gave about faith to a packed lecture theatre of his 6th form piers. Gaz and Beans were both there. Gaz's appearance in this episode is brief but he does make an appearance despite what we say,at the start. Richard has made a significant difference in many people's lives - after faith made a significant difference in his. Despite Beans, Gaz and Andy believing in different things we wanted to share Richard's journey with you regardless of what you believe, it's important to see the difference that having faith can make. Richard brought his friend Ian along with him. Ian has battled addiction and homelessness and he overcame these things and has not relapsed down to his willpower and his faith. Richard was kind enough to answer all of our questions such as he can reconcile his faith alongside some of the unpleasantness that this world has to offer.

We were joined by Jason and Lisa from the Designated Quizzers Podcast. We've tussled with them via their quiz a couple of times. The 1st time, Liss famously fell of a chair and the second time, Gaz got absolutely whammo'd. This time we just wanted to chat with them and find out about the personalities behind the Quizmasters. It was an interesting insight into these 2 very likeable hosts. We hope you enjoy our conversation with them. Did you know you can get 20% off at ollys-ollys.com just by listening to this podcast.

No guest this week so Gaz asked us what the biggest threat to mankind. Is it a virus, is it war, is it water shortage or could it be AI? Maybe just maybe artificial intelligence could pose the largest threat. You can get 20% off your orders at ollys-ollys.com just by listening to this podcast.

We were joined, all the way from Miami, Florida by Gina Black, a Paranormal investigator. Not only has she conducted investigations around the States, she's also been to Japan to look into strange phenomenon there too! You can find her on Social Media at instagram.com/shehaunts - and if that weren't enough we were also joined by Beans' cousin Beau in his first appearance as Guest host, he had a couple of experiences in his past that he wanted to talk to Gina about and see if she could shed some light on them... and these were things that genuinely did give bump in the night, in a very real way! Gina talked us through the equipment she uses, some of the strange things she caught on camera and on audio. She talks us through her recent investigations at the Sorrell Weed House and the Lizzie Borden House.... Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her father 40 whacks, when she saw what she had done, she gave her mother 41..... and the spirit she managed to contact in that house. Gina even made Andy believe... just a little bit. This won't be the last time we have Gina on the Podcast, we promise you! You can get 20% off at ollys-ollys.com just by listening to this podcast.
