I'm Jeff Norcott and I have a twice weekly topical comedy podcast called What Most People Think.

If you like hearing jokes about the news, well this show does the job that panel shows used to do,

as myself and another guest try to make sense of the big political and cultural stories.

It's not an echo chamber either as I have guests from both the left and the right.

From Ramesh Ranganafan to Andrew Doyle,

from Catherine Ryan to Simon Evans.

I even had David Badele once.

We have jokes about Labour,

jokes about the Tories,

jokes about reform.

We even do the occasional gag about the Lib Dems.

That's what most people think,

which you can find everywhere you get your podcasts.

Music think, which you can find everywhere you get your podcasts. Welcome to the History Extra podcast, fascinating historical conversations from the makers of BBC

History magazine. Beer is one of the world's most popular alcoholic beverages.

From refreshing lagers to amber ales and creamy stouts, there's a style for virtually every drinker to enjoy.

But how did this winning combination of water, hops, malts and yeast become such a staple in the first place?

In this episode, John Borkham talks to Phil Withington to answer your questions on beer's

boozy history. From medieval monasteries to the modern pub.

Phil, firstly, welcome back to the History Extra podcast.

Thank you. Great to be back.

So we had you on the pod back in 2022 to talk
