SPECIAL GUEST EXTRAVAGANZA!
Pubcast is joined by a special guest pubcaster, one Mr. Barnabus Glaze MA, who is a smashing gentleman. Mr. Glaze joins Alex and Dave in Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, just off Fleet Street which, according to Alex, was just around the corner from Dr. Johnson’s house (a house which has now been replaced by a sturdy, effective but deeply unhistorical wall).
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is the third Samuel Smith’s pub to be rated, out of only nine, which begs the question ‘do Alex and Dave like Samuel Smith’s pubs, or are they just very, very poor?’ The answer is both. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is also a pubcast of pubcast firsts. There is, of course, a special guest. Furthermore, each and every pubcaster actually tries the food at the same time, a hitherto unheard of feat and one that means the rating given for food is concrete, and not merely in the realms of supposition and fantasy. Thirdly, in declaring this his favourite hostelry, Alex is likely the first person since 1950 who has said the word ‘hostelry’ and meant it. And finally, it is the first time Dave has ever been given a pager. He was rather excited.
For pubcast Itunes subscribers, there is the official v9.0 release, recorded using out high-tech sound recording equipment, and there is also a longer extended v9.1 edition, recorded using our secondary device which we hoped would be awesome, but sadly wasn’t.
Next week, the special guest extravaganzas continue, with a further two pubs rated with the effulgent aid of Mr. Barnabus Glaze MA.
