Another absolutely brilliant (and we mean absolutely brilliant and better than anything else that jumps out of your phone from Cheshire and beyond) JMN production for Cheshire Matters.

We are proud to present Episode 3 of Season 16 of your favourite 'digital' pub discussions from the 'quirky four', filled with satire, humour (and more than a dash of sarcasm) featuring your absolutely fabulous, amazingly brilliant, witty and ridiculously talented 'Ab Fab', the delicious, delightful and delovely digital pub landlord (with the great hair do) podcast host Jonathan Starkey, with regular panelists Trevor Nicholls (the Gazelle), Mark Hartley (Stats Man) and Steve Ingram (the Raven, thief of shiny objects), the most muted man in podcasting today, (formerly Lycra Man, the Raven (C-Caw), the Patriot, Captain Crow, Captain Pugwash lookalike, potential Eurovision Song Contest entrant (but not from Russia) and lately Right Engle and Captain Circumference 360º) dropping in for a digital pint to discuss important national, regional and local issues, in a sometimes irreverent, sometimes humorous, sometimes serious but always entertaining way.

The 'Flab Three' (the Raven is back - boo!) plus Skinny Minny Stats are here for another lively discussion to beginning with the Landlord's extremely interesting and humorous Roundup of current news stories from the daily rags and other online news sources regarding the supremely chaotic world of British politics, politicians and other points of interest. 

The nationals this week are about the Covid Enquiry (doesn't Dominic Cummings use colourful language??) and the local covers the CWAC and all their glorious intentions for the unwitting Cheshire residents.

With usual shout outs and downs we end yet again attempting to dip into the Raven's digital wallet to have a digital pint on him.

This is a must listen to for everyone worldwide but also residents in Cheshire, MPs, councils and Councillors in Cheshire and all other public officials (in case we don't survive another week in the UK). Hope all public officials in authority are enhanced DBS checked? Cheshire Matters will be checking up on you. You don't really know who in public office you can trust these days!!!!!!!

Join us for our often humorous but sometimes serious commentary and insights on these subjects and more from the best digital pub with the best and most deliciously witty digital pub landlord in the UK (the guest panellists, apart from Stats and the Gazelle, are extremely minor entities along for the ride).
