The fifth episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded ‘Down The Local’ in Liverpool, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Mo Stewart to discuss worst pub toilet experiences, music in pubs, Glastonbury, and more…
The Pub Crawlers Podcast represents a quest to find the very best authentic UK pubs, filmed on location inside some of the finest boozers across the UK and Ireland.
Well, sort of. It’s equally about friends having three to four pint-fuelled, quintessential pub conversations, on any subjects that damn well occur to them, in a range of outstanding boozers across the land. So, really, it’s as much about what we get up to in pubs as the pubs themselves.
The shows are presented by self-styled boozer connoisseur and long-time pub designer and owner, Rob Gutmann, who is on a mission to find the very best pubs in the UK and to define the essence of the ‘true’ pub.
Featuring a wide range of guests (mainly Rob’s mates), we’ll be visiting pubs the length and breadth of the country, bedding into the very best of them, and chatting about our lives lived in and around boozers.
The first season of the Pub Crawlers focuses on the North of England, taking in Chester, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, and even a brief foray to the north side of the Midlands in Nottingham.
Plug yourself in to the ongoing conversation as it disappears down all manner of tenuously pub-related worm holes, with your new mates at TPC. And you don’t need a pint to enjoy us, but it might help…

Looks like those bastards from the Mashed Potato Lobby got their hands on the Wrap. Only one voice of sanity speaking up for the truth.
Baked potatoes, roast potatoes, boiled new potatoes, salted potatoes, chips, delicious one and all and the list could go on. Potatoes are tasty. In fact, it’s pretty hard to make a potato not tasty. There is one way though. Peel off the skin, the bit with the most flavour, boil them until they’re mushy enough to mash, i.e. once they’ve completely lost any remaining taste they might have had and then mash them into a gloopy, unappetising mess. Oh, and be sure to add butter, milk and black pepper in order to make up for the lack of any flavour and to give it an even worse consistency which would feasibly pass as some sort of industrial sealant.
Oh yeah. And it’s practically the official food of cockneys. Pie n mash and n jellied eels and all that. Mashed potato… the absolute worst thing you can do to a potato. And I’ve done some pretty unusual and non traditional things with potatoes.
Loved this, funny as fuck but…Tradionally mashed potato is made by baking potatoes, scooping out the middle and mashing it with butter, cream and or milk. It’s a wonderful thing. Just saying
