We are proud to present the second episode in a new season, Episode 2 of Season 15, of your favourite 'digital' pub discussions from the 'quirky four', filled with satire, humour (and more than a dash of sarcasm) featuring your absolutely fabulous, amazingly brilliant, witty and ridiculously talented 'Ab Fab', the delicious, delightful and delovely digital pub landlord (with the great hair do) podcast host Jonathan Starkey, with regular panelists Trevor Nicholls (the Gazelle), Mark Hartley (Stats Man) and Steve Ingram (the Raven, thief of shiny objects), the most muted man in podcasting today, (formerly Lycra Man, the Raven (C-Caw), the Patriot, Captain Crow, Captain Pugwash lookalike, potential Eurovision Song Contest entrant (but not from Russia) and lately Right Engle and Captain Circumference 360º) dropping in for a digital pint to discuss important national, regional and local issues, in a sometimes irreverent, sometimes humorous, sometimes serious but always entertaining way.
The 'Flab Three plus 'Skinny Minnie Stats' are back together this week for another lively discussion to include the Landlord's extremely interesting and humorous Roundup of current news stories from the daily rags and other online news sources regarding the supremely chaotic world of British politics, politicians and other points of interest.
Our national this week is about white South African farmers who are being attacked daily but apparently the song encouraging their genocide shouldn't be taken literally? The local is about play areas in Cheshire West and Chester and the failures of the Labour led council to address issues of maintenance even though the leader of the council, Cllr. Louise Gittins, is celebrating green spaces around Cheshire in a video as if everything is rosy. Take our word for it, it isn't.
This is followed by the usual shout outs and shout downs and closing mutterings all adding up to yet another great podcast. One shout down in particular is for the Intellectual Property Office of which a Special is forthcoming asking the serious question, can you really trust these people with your data?
This is a must listen to for everyone worldwide but also residents in Cheshire, MPs, councils and Councillors in Cheshire and all other public officials (in case we don't survive another week in the UK). Hope all public officials in authority are enhanced DBS checked? Cheshire Matters will be checking up on you. You don't really know who in public office you can trust these days!!!!!!!
Join us for our often humorous but sometimes serious commentary and insights on these subjects and more from the best digital pub with the best and most deliciously witty digital pub landlord in the UK (the guest panellists, apart from Stats and the Gazelle, are extremely minor entities along for the ride).
