Oakham residents Tim Ives and Justin Perry launched a new podcast called Pub Natter just ahead of Christmas.

The new venture promotes the pubs and people of Rutland, and each episode is recorded in a different pub in Rutland.

The pair have already covered The Railway Inn, Ketton, and Rutland CAMRA Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Club, hosted at The Grainstore,

Now, they are on the hunt for more venues to feature from in and around Rutland.

Each podcast will see the duo spend fifteen minutes chatting with the landlord, discussing their backstory, the history of the pub and its offerings. They will then welcome a special guest, who has a specialised area of expertise.

The team said: "Now is the time to start listening to podcasts. You have plenty to choose from. Google reckons about 4.2 million. Obviously, you need to include Pub Natter in your 'must listens'. You can subscribe to the podcast (free) to ensure you don't miss an episode.

"Podcasts offer you an easy listen where you can be the 'other person' in the conversation, without having to expend any energy, so they offer a good portable form of entertainment, especially if you choose one where you have an obvious interest, like Rutland pubs for example."

Pub Natter is available on YouTube, Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and PodBean.
