Frank Adlington-Stringer is standing for Mayor of the East Midlands. I hope he gets it. He has a suite of great ideas that will boost the economy as well as the ecology.

This is a heart-warming conversation about Frank, his upbringing and his vision. We touch on grandparents, favourite smells, and how we love the Midlands. 

Disclaimer: I'm not a member of any political party but I think Frank would be a brilliant Mayor.

A green Mayor for a green region.

Alex Lawrence is a bartender, a drinks brand owner, a rebel, a funny and inspiring man, and he shines so brightly. This conversation swings from his time in a band, rebelling in private school, living in Aberdeen and being a young "trash-bag", moving to work in the World's best bar, mental health and bartending, and ultimately becoming the World's best bartender.  He was born in Scotland, raised in Scotland and is totally from London. He talks so beautifully about anger, art and music, his parents and authenticity. Leaving Aberdeen for an initially lonely London. His career began at Dandelyan and it continues there. I'll type no-more. This is a great listen.

A chat with Alex Lawrence. Bartenders are philosophers, counsellors, friends. They also mix drinks

Ashtin Berry is incredibly articulate. With her words and with flavours. She's a bartender, one of the best. but more than that, an entrepreneur, a campaigner, and a leader. This is an unbelievably powerful conversation. We talk about flavours in the deep South, her family, the Great Migration, levels of racism, fairness, activism and equity. We talk about the racism inherent in financial systems, red-lining, wealth accumulation, and legislation.  This is one of the most powerful and awakening conversations I've had. It was recorded before the murder of George Floyd. It was recorded over Zoom and is subject to a couple of delays and wifi dropouts.

Ashtin Berry: activism and alcohol.
