Hello and welcome to... To The Regiment, the Early Doors Podcast with Phil Mealey.This week Ben and Phil talk about the last episode of series one. But don't worry it's not the last episode of this series of the podcast. So this is the episode, well the day out, we've been leading up to. All the talk of the Big Boys Beano and it's here. Breakfast in the pub, nice shirts, cigars, impressions, plenty of beer, loads of craic, and then the most... well I won't spoil the ending.At lot of hidden gems and behind in the scenes in this episode. So please enjoy.Thank you for listening and we will see you in two weeks for the last interview of the series. All being well with diaries that is.TO THE REGIMENT...

Hello and welcome to To The Regiment (apologies for the slight delay this week).In this episode we got some questions from you, the listeners, from Twitter/X, Facebook, and Instagram. Some we may have covered but we cover in more detail or some Ben had just missed.We will be doing this again soon because these questions came in before we even released the first episode (we think). And our fan base has certainly grown.Thank you again for all your support and I promise we will be going on the Big Boy's Beano next time.To The Regiment...

Hello and welcome to To The Regiment. The Early Doors Podcast with Phil Mealey.In this episode Ben and Phil have a daft laugh going through episode five of series one. Maybe the sun was out or it was a Friday when the episode was recorded but they seemed very 'ready for the pub'.They look at episode five of series one which has a lot of Ben's two favourite things, juxtaposition and Easter eggs. For the record Ben isn't clever enough to be throwing juxtaposition around lightly but must have seen it on a word a day toilet roll. Regardless, this episode does have a lot of contrast, heart, and lovely Easter eggs that develop the show, the series and the characters. They even speak about Minor Chords at one point as well. We hope you enjoy and apologies for Ben writing and continuing to write in the third person. See you in two weeks, were you will be interviewing Phil.To The Regiment...

Hello and welcome to To The Regiment, the Early Doors podcast with Phil Mealey. In this episode we're back looking at each episode getting the inside look with Phil. The Grapes itself in this episode is a completely different place. For one, it's packed. But it's a Friday night, Joe and Duffy are standing at the bar (and we discover why), Winnie is in with her husband, Tommy is in the same seat, and there's much more drinking.We also see a very wet James McAvoy who apparently ruined Ibiza.Thank you as always for listening, telling your friends, and your support.Listen out for a special guest at the end.To The Regiment...
