The Moon Under Water has been lucky enough to welcome in many guests that romanticise pubs just as much as Landlord John and the ever-present Robin, and this week is no exception. As he walks towards the ‘Pub of the Mind’, engulfed by the mists of desire, it becomes obvious that the next person joining us is comedian, author and actor James Dowdeswell.
James knows his stuff when it comes to the humble alehouse. He’s the author of 'The Pub Manifesto: A Comedian Stands Up For Pubs’, and has performed numerous live shows based around taverns. And the best thing of all: James is the first guest we’ve had that GREW UP in a pub, and has experienced everything that comes along with living above an alehouse.
There are still tickets on sale for The Moon Under Water Live! There are two more dates in September, when we'll be inviting special guests to create their dream pub LIVE from a real pub (The George IV in Chiswick). Head over to moonunderpod.com for more info and to grab your tickets. The mystical realm awaits!

1:09.7 | He is assessing some of the new plantings, |
1:16.1 | some of the infinity pools as well. I say infinity pools, it's actually infinite pools. |
1:22.5 | We have sort of an uncountable number of pools here in the moon underwater garden and each shimmer |
1:31.3 | with a different style a different sort of glow some contain water lilies some contain |
1:40.2 | I'm going to say aqua flowers of the Orient, if that's a phrase you're familiar with, |
1:47.5 | but with strange and intricate sort of petalings. |
1:53.0 | But every so often we have to just sort of tend to them in the garden here at the moon underwater. |
1:58.9 | So I know Robin enjoys it at this sort of, it's before the |

2:09.5 | usually around half five, when the light is still quite strong, but it's paled somewhat with peaches and pinks before the impending violets upon violets. |
2:23.3 | So anyway, Robin's out the back sorting all that out, hopefully emptying the bins as well. |
2:30.0 | Which leaves me, Johnny J.R. the landlord, to welcome you to the moon underwater once more. |
2:36.6 | We're a little bit behind with the prep for this week's guest, but I have enough time. |
