Summary

Hello! This week on Reasons to be Cheerful Ed and Geoff are Going Out Out and talking about the night-time economy: generally everything that happens between 6pm and 6am. At the end of 2022, iconic Manchester venue ‘Night & Day’ was threatened with closure over a noise complaint. We talk about why this example represents a wider crisis in city nightlife and how it is possible to protect it, both for a good night’s sleep and for better workers’ rights. We chat to Dr Alessio Kolioulis about the history of the night-time economy, to Sacha Lord about why Manchester’s nightlife is the keystone of its cultural identity and to Clare Lynch, long-time resident of Soho, who tells us about the changes happening there and how to preserve the area’s character. And where does Bez from the Happy Mondays keep his bees?

Plus: Find out which TV chef has given a professional review of Ed’s soup…

0:12.0	Well hello. Hello! You arrived on my doorstep so be dragiled this morning. You were cold,
0:19.3	you were hungry. You gave me some rice crispies. I did! What was that semi-hard rice crispies?
0:24.2	Probably some time ago. Do you think of cereal as being childish? I've never been a great breakfast
0:30.8	sort of person. Apart from the bacon sandwich obviously. Of course.
0:34.1	Thank you. I feel like frosties.
0:38.3	Very sugary. That great.
0:43.2	Now, I've been a bit worried that I hurt your feelings.
0:45.7	Yeah. With my constant nitpicking about the presentation of your soups.
0:54.5	Yes. I'm worried that it's not your confidence. I'm worried that maybe you won't become Britain's
1:00.3	great next soupie. Is it a soupie? A crewpie A but with soupie. Maybe. I don't know. I'm just
1:05.0	guessing. Yeah. If there isn't the word, it should be that. Yeah. Because I feel that with the
1:10.5	right amount of self-esteem and the drive that you so clearly have an ambition, you could become
1:14.4	the next Covent Garden soup company. Make your own soup.
1:18.5	And you do have a soup for me to sambar. It's impressive that I managed to do this.
1:24.1	This was the soup that was delayed from last week and I then froze it and then I remembered
1:29.4	late last night and you unfreeze it. And you turned up with Tupperware this morning.
1:33.2	I turned up with Tupperware this morning. And it's been in the microwave just before we take
1:36.0	them it off. I just want to raise any other business with a previous soup. Now you made a pyramid soup.
1:44.4	Was that for a dinner party? Was it? You weren't invited to. Yes, of course.
1:48.0	Yes. And was that a recipe of your own invention? No, it was Hugh Furny with Inc.
