The Moon Under Water
Fin Taylor (Part One)
•
Although nobody knows just exactly how old The Moon Under Water is, it's widely accepted that it was created thousands of years before the advent of the internet. And although we're at the forefront of pub technology, we actually held off sorting an internet connection in the Correct Realm until very recently. What made us change our mind? Well, we heard about this week's guest, and wanted to make sure that we could access ALL his content whenever we want. It's comedian Fin Taylor!
As well as being one of the best comedians this country has to offer, Fin is also the host of the smash YouTube series 'Fin vs the Internet', in which he grills a different guest each week about how to make it online. However, it's now his turn to be grilled, but purely on all things pint. It's safe to say that we cannot wait for him to join us, and we hope you enjoy what he has in store.
If you want to keep up to date with what Fin has coming up then hop onto fintaylorcomedy.komi.io, and to binge watch 'Fin vs the Internet' make sure to head to youtube.com/@FinTaylorcomedy (and whatever you do, don't forget to subscribe!).

Yes, the brains behind the Craft Beer Channel sits down with the boys for a special edition of the Pub Notice Board, and he's brought some gifts with him this time. After mentioning some mouth watering beers in the building of his dream pub, we thought it was only fair for Jonny to stump up the goods. So he joins Robbie and Dan to sample some rare bird drinks, including a beer that has its roots in the year 1883, and one of Jonny's all-time favourite beers, costing £20 a can. Robbie and Dan also attempt to 'learn the language of beer' and Jonny explains how marketing affects our tastebuds.Keep sending us your correspondence to robbie@moonunderpod.com.
