Welcome to the Off-Menu Podcast taking the vermouth of Good Chat, the gin of fantastic

0:18.9

humour, the ice of the internet, mixing them together, then pouring into the beautiful

0:24.8

podcast, Martini Glass, and serving with a twist of fun. I absolutely love it. Ed Gamble,

0:32.1

my name's James A. Kaster. This is the Dream Mestraump. We invite a guest in every single week.

0:36.5

We ask them to favour ever start a main course, dessert, side dish and drink, and as Ed's
