Where Your Dad Used to Sit

An open letter essay on the small pubs and public houses across England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and Northern Ireland are more important than you know .... along with their brother bars and taverns in the US.

Give this episode a listen. Cheers.

Hat tips to:

Small Paul and the Driving Wheel.

Ray Charles singing a song by Stevie Wonder.
