“Temple of antidrink wokeness. Hosts know absolutely nothing about pubs/beer. Guests all know even less. Pure drivel.
PS Does anyone know if Robbie ever worked on Soccer AM?”

“I could see the virtue of entering the pub at first, the banter from visiting guests was great, they had a great library, good music - A quiz! - I wasn’t keen on the original landlord however, just a little florid and uptight for my taste. I’ve embraced the ownership a lot more now Robbie and Dan...”Read full review »

“It’s such a shame, this podcast is the purest expression of John Robins, it reflected every facet of his personality. Things have changed though.
Tim Lovejoy is the last straw. We all know for a fact that Johnny JR would not have that horrible little man in this show, irrespective of who the...”Read full review »

“Oh no no no no no…. PLEASE DONT LEAVE US. I’m enthralled with this brilliant concept. It stretches the imagination, it’s informative, fun and saturated with facts about pubs and booze you never knew you wanted to learn. As usual Johns laconic and honest humour makes it a must listen - he’s a gift !”

“Over the last few months I’ve become a dedicated listener to this pod, and news this week that Landlord John and ever present patron, Robin, will be moving on from The Moon and the correct realm is a great sadness. Everything about this pod is perfection, and I hope someday it can be resurrected.”

“Entertaining, educational, whimsical and moving. So glad I’ve found this podcast. The concept of a dream pub is a great place to start, but it’s so much more than that. John and Robin are excellent hosts, and I love the different segments (especially the literary one). The Barry Glendenning...”Read full review »

“I gave this a go as I quite like the whole guest star chooses their perfect thing format. It took 25 minutes for guest star Greg James to turn up. John Robins had read out two long poems in that time. In between the two poems was a load of aimless faux-Dickensian rambling from a bloke who loves...”Read full review »

“Its always interesting even if you don’t know the guest. I am not familiar with Barry Glendenning but his episode was a high point in the podcast. A rollercoaster of emotions from a true pubsman.
I was crying along with him at one point. Probably needs a trigger warning for anyone recently...”Read full review »

Visited Southampton last week and booked a family meal in a local pub and noticed on tap they had neck oil so because of this podcast I decided to give it a go (£6.20!) and it was lovely. So I feel that I now have...”Read full review »

There’s a warm, natural rapport between Robins and Robin that is so easy to listen to. Robin gets better each week and his segments, and John’s...”Read full review »
