I just turned 30 (help)! Social distancing goes out the window and Desert Island Crisps. #BlackLivesMatter

Jason England

On the week that Jason turned 30, a lot of stuff happened! So grab a drink and pull up a chair, as we talk about a good chunk of it in The Virtual Pub - the perfect podcast for those who miss going to the pub in this particular pandemic.

Listen to The Virtual Pub every Friday at 5:30 pm (otherwise known as the time we would all be getting a pint after work)

On this week’s episode

  • (0:00) - We talk briefly about the #BlackLivesMatter movement. There are far more important black voices on this topic that we listen to, and want to spotlight. Links available below in the show links.

  • (1:24) - We open what is going to be a really unique episode. One of the team (Jason) has turned 30, so we kick off a birthday celebration and a new segment named "Desert Island Crisps." What three types and flavours of Crisps would you be happy to be stranded on a desert island with?

  • (31:30) - It's time to pick a prick! We've got some good ones this week, including the beach goers at Durdle Door, Bristol Gin and a messy situation of pricks when it comes to the horrible situation around Harry Dunn.

  • (54:08) - Time for some good news. Now that we've got all the bad people out our system, there are some lovely stories this week. Particular shout out to the incredible Tobias Weller!

  • (1:02:24) - As agreed between us, the birthday boy or girl hosts a pub quiz about themselves. Time for you to get to know a little more about Jason! Plus final shout outs and to play us out, we’ve got the ferocious sound of Grimsby-based Mint, and their song “Goodbye Beautiful” - a pretty in-your-face urge to more action on climate change and political injustice. 

  • (1:27:54) - A little something extra for my friends and family...
