The Moon Under Water

The mighty fine Portuguese / Black Country YouTuber Romell Henry is in to design his dream pub!Known to the masses as one half of the TGFbro YouTube channel, here’s a man who’s not afraid of a ridiculous, and frequently inadvisable, challenge. So constructing and stocking his dream pub should, comparably, be a walk in the park.  Expect an adoration of the West Midlands, and a Dudley pub he describes as his best, worst and favourite. There’s an important PSA regarding beef chilli patties, and is a Long Island Iced Teas criminal or just right?Check out Rommel’s mobile podcast Vocal Pickups on YouTube. He does it out of a van!For anything that *you* might want to add to show then send it in to robbie@moonunderpod.com and the Landlord and his Regular will go through it on our weekly Pub Notice Board. 

It's a merry edition of the Pub Notice Board this week, after the boys embark on a pre-show pub trip. Spirts are high, japes are shared, and giggles are giggled. After a round up of their recent pubbing, Robbie and Dan dip into the correspondence to find musings on dive bars, an exciting corespondent application, and they round off by looking at the top 50 pubs in London.Keep sending in your top level correspondence to robbie@moonunderpod.com, and follow the show on the socials @moonunderpod.

Podcast OGs The Football Ramble are in The Moon Under Water to put together their dream pub. From one of the longest running and most loved pods around, The Ramble’s Pete Donaldson and Luke Moore know their way around the Premier League but do they know their ales?Ramble listeners will already know of the unique / chaotic / scatty energy that Pete brings. Luke a steady more balancing approach. So expect clashes in their attempt to stock and build the establishment of their dreams. Plus a whole host of stories from the these two lively lads. From pubs with skateboarding quarter pipes to how Pete once lost a job because of the Hobgoblin hobgoblin. Antacids for nibbles anyone? If you’re football fans, The Ramble’s the most honest and lively football pod out there - they really do know their stuff and don’t take the whole thing too seriously. So do go check them out. If you’ve got anything for our weekly Pub Notice Board then it’s robbie@moonunderpod.com to get in touch. 

The landlord has donned his Santa outfit and put a wreath on the door of the Moon Under Water, for the Christmas season is finally here/Robbie has gone too early with his decorations... Whether he's out of the traps too soon is up for debate, but the prospect of Christmas pubbing on the horizon brings a warm feeling to everyone's hearts.There's big crisp news (from a few weeks ago), a listener tells of a mystery bar in Tokyo, and the boys receive a correspondent application from the other side of the globe.Keep sending your pub tidbits to Robbie@moonunderpod.com.
