To kick off the new series of the podcast, in this episode we’ll be exploring the state of pubs and bars in the North - from the long-term decline in the number of boozers across the region, to the recent boom in major cities, and of course the ongoing impact of the pandemic.

We discussed industry trends with hospitality experts and people running pubs and bars up and down the north.

Written and presented by Annie Gouk and produced by and music by Mark Magill.
