0:00.0	Hello, everybody. You're listening to the Earful Tower podcast, and this episode is all about places to get a drink.
0:07.8	Sitting in front of me in the new studio is Sam Davies, a friend of the show who hasn't been on the show since talking about the hoops he had to jump through to get French citizenship.
