The Moon Under Water

Some people like beer. Some people love beer. Some people make it their life. Some people make a LIVING out of their love for it, and this week's guest is one of those lucky people. It's award-winning beer sommelier Natalya Watson!

Natalya is a certified expert on everything to do with beer. History, tasting notes, brewing methods; she's got the whole lot covered. As a beer expert you'd expect her dream pub to be nothing but an infinite row of taps and pumps, but sadly her dream drink choices MUST fit within the criteria set out by Landlord John. How will that work? Let's find out...

The four day bank holiday seems so distant now, and many of us are longing to be back in a sunny beer garden quaffing down on a pint of golden nectar. Thankfully at The Moon Under Water it's always a bank holiday, meaning you can sup along with your favourite pint no matter what day it is (even if it means supping in your mind). This week's guest is certainly excited to be joining us in the Correct Realm, and we can't wait to hear what shape her dream pub will take; it's stand up comedian Ania Magliano!

Ania is an award winning comic that has written for a whole host of programmes on TV and radio. She's also an acclaimed stand-up, and she'll be performing her debut hour-long show at the Edinburgh Fringe this year. But pubs are no laughing matter, and soon it will be time for her to get down to the serious business of choosing the drinks that populate her own 'Pub of the Mind'.

Is there anything worse than seeing a dead pub? Somewhere that once played host to thousands of sessions, reduced to nothing more than the local version of a chain supermarket. It's important we don't forget that these establishments existed, and this week's guest is someone that is fighting to keep their legacies alive; it's Jimmy McIntosh, creator of London Dead Pubs.

London Dead Pubs is an Instagram account where Jimmy documents the pubs of London that are no longer with us. Some have been redeveloped, some have been knocked down; but thanks to Jimmy we're able to gain an insight into some of the lost pubs that graced London. But will his dream pub be reminiscent of somewhere old or new?

*This is part 2 of Simon Price’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*

'Libraries gave us power' is one of the most iconic lines sang by the Manic Street Preachers, but did you know that the line originally went 'The Moon Under Water gave us pints'? Well, we know it to be true because that's what this week's guest told us (and he's bound to know); it's music journalist and author Simon Price!

Simon is an expert on pretty much everything to do with music, and his biography on the Manics entitled Everything was at one point the fastest selling rock book of all time. However, the best thing about Simon is his love for pubs. He's a seasoned veteran of the UK pub scene, and there's no doubt that his very own 'Pub of the Mind' will be one for the ages.

*This is part 2 of Suzi Gage’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*

"Doctor Doctor, I feel like a pint of ale.'. 'Well get yourself over to The Moon Under Water then!'. Just a little joke there for you, and although it might seem totally random it actually ties in perfectly to this week's guest... it's Dr Suzi Gage!

Suzi is a psychologist, broadcaster, author and host of the podcast Say Why To Drugs. She's also appeared on Scroobius Pip's Distraction Pieces, so may very well be familiar to a lot of you. But most exciting of all... she is a HUGE pub fan. She's known Robin and Landlord John for a good few years now, so hopefully she has a tale or two to tell."

*This is part 2 of Sukh Ojla’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*

The Moon Under Water is looking resplendent after having a full renovation, and many of us have been left asking ourselves "Has brass ever looked this good?". Hopefully our next guest is equally impressed, as they're about to arrive in the Correct Realm. It's comedian and author Sukh Ojla.

Sukh has appeared in Black Mirror, EastEnders, Mock The Week and The Big Asian Stand-Up, and last year she released her debut novel Sunny. She's about to make her way through the mists, and we can't wait to hear what will populate her dream pub.
