Reverend Kate Bottley - The Jesus Arms
Do Reverends and pubs go together? This week's guest answers this question with an emphatic yes, as The Moon Under Water opens its doors to its very first member of the church, Reverend Kate Bottley.

There's a Gallic sensibility in The Moon Under Water today. Wafts of cognac and coq au vin drift through the air as the patrons get a glimpse across the Channel into a world rich in brusqueness, culinary delights and many of the world's great elixirs.

David Jesudason (Part Two)
*This is part two of David Jesudason's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing*Many believe that the UK is the ultimate pub destination due to the sheer variety of pubs that you can visit. Old pubs, flat-roofed pubs, pubs that date back centuries. However, the hidden gem of UK pubs is arguably the desi pub: a place that grew out of attempts to break the racist colour bar of the 1960s which often meant non-white customers were refused service. These pubs, predominantly ran by British-Indian landlords, may not be the most well known, but they are some of the best in the country. This week we're joined by an actual alehouse expert who has visited LOTS of desi pubs; it's author and journalist David Jesudason!What David doesn't know about pubs isn't worth knowing. He's also one of the go-to experts on desi pubs, having written his own book on the subject (which is available in all good book shops).

Anyone who donates £8 a month to help support the pub is forever immortalised in one of our monthly Patrons' Poems, which is included in our bonus monthly episode Behind The Cellar Door (that's available to anyone who subscribes to the top two tiers!). Landlord John takes care of the lyrics, whilst Robin looks after the music; a bit like an other-worldly version of Lennon and McCartney.Well, good news! To make sure the Patrons' Poems get the recognition they deserve, from next week we'll be featuring them in the final episode of the main podcast each month. That way your name will be forever inscribed in verse for the whole world to hear.But if you've already been included in a Patrons' Poem then fear not! This episode features all the poems that have been created so far, as well as a running commentary from John and Robin on how they went about creating each one. If YOU want to have your name included in a Patrons' Poem then head to moonunderpod.com and become a Legend Under Water. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
