Rejoice! Landlord John and Robin are now both in the Other Realm sampling the delights of Edinburgh together, which means for this edition of The Week In Pubs they're able to record from the same room! And as is almost tradition now, one of them is feeling slightly worse for wear.

This week they share some of their Edinburgh highlights, read through a couple of mists and discuss some of the special LIVE recordings that have been taking place (soon to be heard).

Landlord John has ventured into the Other Realm for the next few weeks, and as a result we're not releasing regular episodes on a Monday, but we ARE still giving you your weekly does of pub chat in The Week In Pubs.

Though John doesn't get to experience the delights of The Moon Under Water for now he does get to experience the delights on offer in Edinburgh, so in this week's episode he shares what he's been up to with Robin, and we hear about a pub crawl from one of our Patreon subscribers!

*This is part 2 of Mark Steel’s episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*

As many of you may know The Moon Under Water takes its name from an essay written by George Orwell, in which he outlines his idea of the perfect pub; what it looks like, what it contains, what fixtures and fittings are present. Earlier this month Landlord John and Robin ventured into the Other Realm to record a special LIVE episode as part of the Orwell Festival. Live from The Marquis Cornwallis in Central London (just round the corner from a blue plaque celebrating Orwell) they were joined by a guest who not only loves pubs, he knows a fair bit about Orwell too. It’s comedian, author and broadcaster Mark Steel!

Mark is one of the most beloved broadcasters in the UK. He regularly appears on radio and television, and his series Mark Steel’s In Town is famous for documenting towns around the UK that don’t often get much coverage (and his research often involves visiting pubs in said towns). 

We all know what happens when John, Robin and a guest are put into a REAL pub, so prepare to immerse yourself in The Moon Under Water once more.

*This is part 2 of Johnny White Really-Really's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*

Over the years Landlord John and Robin have spent many an evening in the Other Realm sampling all the delights that are on offer. Though they don't get total control of what drinks are available to them it does give them the opportunity to meet up with friends who might not always be available to live in the Correct Realm. One such person that has experienced many a lash with John and Robin is this week's guest; it's comedian and musician Johnny White Really-Really!

Johnny is as much of a legend on the UK pub scene as he is on the UK comedy scene. He loves establishments of all shapes and sizes, but he might be slightly more particular when it comes to what drinks stock his dream bar. Will he take into account John and Robins preferences? Will it be a pub for everyone? Or will he go all out and choose drinks that only Johnny White Really-Really would like?
