Straight from the Hot Tap
By Matt Baty
This podcast is definitely unique. The concept, 4 old friends and a member of the Cheshire landed gentry discuss growing up in a town they no longer live in, really shouldn't work. Yet here we are.
Join the hosts as they take a surreal, irreverent walk through modern life, the Administrative Centre of Somerset, strange animal encounters and a load more. There is even some serious content. Occasionally.
This Podcast is designed to make you laugh, reflect and see the humour in the world around you. Expect some slightly controversial content, but ultimately this podcast will feel like Eve's Dropping on a pub chat between 5 close friends.
