Here we are - the Christmas Special edition and (maybe) final episode of The Virtual Pub. It's been a while since you've heard from us! We've been busy with life in this sh*tshow we call 2020, and rather than be overwhelmed by overcommitting ourselves to too much, we're calling it a day and going out with a bang - an episode with no pricks, just good times and a bumper quiz. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for listening to this show - something that started as a way to distract ourselves from the world on fire. Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! Love, The Virtual Pub team xo
Well butter my balls! It feels good to be back (that is a reference to something we say in the show - I'm not just being deliberately gross). Welcome back to The Virtual Pub. It's been a while, hasn't it! Got a lot to catch up on, both in our own lives and in the news - here's what we've got coming up. Since this is the first time we've all spoken in a while, we spend the first half hour catching up - going over the highs and lows of life throughout October, including Jason turning into a single Mum and the pub staff returning to the podcast after the tier 3 closures in Nottingham! After this, it's time to pick a prick - Jason's choice of Mansfield MP Ben Bradley evolves into a wider discussion about the whole Free School Meals debacle. Primarily, why is it even a debate to begin with? And what needs to happen? We go long, but it's really important we go into this! Now for some good news, including water on the moon and Scooter with their Christmas Number One attempt! And finally, the pub quiz and final thoughts. Enjoy the show?
