Hello and welcome to the last in this series of To The Regiment: The Early Doors Podcast with Phil Mealy

In this episode we pick up where we left off. In the ladies loo's.

We discuss karaoke, high fives, punches, and the wolf of wall street.

Apologies for the delay on this one but we're briefly back before the pub goes under a refurb for series three (of the podcast, not the show).

See you in later in the year for more tales from behind the bar.

Check out Phil's socials for links to his tour shows.

TICK! TOCK!

What a load of crap.

Hello and welcome to series 2 episode six episode review (part one).

In this first of two episodes Phil and Ben go to Mel's 21st Birthday party. There's some much detail and subtext in this episode that we've had to put it into two parts.

So expect, well a lot of love for the cast, the writing, juxtaposition, Easter eggs, and TICK TOCK.

We hope you enjoy and see you soon for part two.

Hello and welcome to the long awaited part two of episode five review from series two. (that is very poor English from me).

Firstly, apologies for the long wait on this one. One thing or another just halted proceedings.

But we're back to discuss the second half of episode five series two.

So expect, drama, shots of single malt, and Tommy stealing the scene, again.

We also speak about Phil's one man shows coming up. You can get tickets here, if you're quick.

Hello and welcome to To The Regiment. The Early Doors podcast with Phil Mealey.

In this episode Phil and Ben discuss series two, episode five. But only to a point. The conversation kind of went on a bit. So we're putting it out in two episodes this time.

There's a lot of set up in this episode getting ready for Mel's 21st.

There's plenty of talk about The Great Escape by I am Kloot, getting prepped for asking a girl out, and your mam braking your mojo.

Finally, this episode is dedicated to friend of the podcast and the heart and soul of Early Doors, Lorraine Cheshire. A lot of memories, lovely photos, and tributes from cast members and beyond are all on socials. Please do check them out, Lorraine was (rightly so) loved by so many people and certainly in this community of people. All of love to John and her family.

Well... do you like circuses, they're great for kids aren't they.

Welcome to To The Regiment and our review of series two episode four.

This week we ask the big questions, go for a chippy tea, pay the phone bill with a lump in your throat, and Tommy get's a new job.

Sorry for the little delay on this one. Let's blame tech.

See you soon for a episode five of series two, double header. A lot to talk about there.

RIP Mani. Adored.

It's quiz night. The Grapes is banging, well there's three extra people, and John Leslie is the talk of the town.

Hello and welcome to To The Regiment.

This week Phil and Ben are talking about episode three of series two. We're at the quiz and this is rambling conversation about this episode, the background to it, and putting the world to right a little.

Anyway, I think the answer is Con Carne Eddie...

Enjoy.
