Neutral Cider Hotel
Magimalus (Polly Hilton From Find & Foster)
Join hosts Gabe Cook, Grant Hutchison and Martyn Goodwin-Sharman as they sing along to the dial up tone, in the Neutral Cider Hotel!
Firstly, Gabe has moved house, again, for another time, and dropped out of Nempnett Thrubwell, Martyn has been torn by the first episodes of his favourite comic Sweet Tooth, and Grant has an exciting delivery of some East Coast beauties with Eve’s Cider!
This week’s news is one with a deep dive into language, and what people get wrong with cider, by way of Angry Orchard’s Ryan Burke, featuring Scott’s playthrough of GTA 3 and Gabe’s rudimentary understanding of weaponry.
This week’s interview is with the wonderful Polly Hilton of Find & Foster. Working alongside her husband Matt, Polly seeks to find rare varieties in old Devon orchards and creates drinks using specialised techniques, such as bottle fermentation and keeving, to showcase the value of this heritage. The guys chat about everything, including the start of the company, cidery cider, ex-racehorses, label choices, 80 year old cider and shameless plugs! During the chat, the guys crack Find & Foster’s newest bottle; the return of Saison Pomme. Check out which critiques Polly remembers from the guys last chat about it!Then it's onto the Listener Speakpipe messages, featuring a glowing endorsement of fruit ciders from Timothy Jay and the wonderful Turdlinger in response to last week’s episode, prompting a discussion about what fruit ciders the guys enjoy.
