Summary
Landlord John and his most trusted regular Robin spent their university years sampling the publy delights of Oxford; which has led them to believe that it is the greatest pub city in the Other Realm. However, there's one city in particular that could be considered the ultimate place to study AND drink... and that's Dublin. This week's guest has lived such an experience, and she's about to enter The Moon Under Water. It's radio presenter and host of 5 Live Breakfast Rachel Burden!
Yes, Rachel studied (in a publy AND academic sense) in Dublin - so she's been lucky enough to spend time in some of the best pubs in existence. But now, as a breakfast radio presenter, she lives by a schedule that doesn't necessarily lend itself to pubbing. But you know how the motto goes - "Once a pubber, always a pubber" - so we can't wait to hear her dream alehouse come to life.
