Everything But The Pub

Jon and Luke take the podcast off-road for a hot campsite walk near Lymington. Traffic-light history, railway signals and a hidden country pub lead into a refreshing shandy discovery, camping etymology and the surprising relationship between campaigns and Champagne. There is also hangxiety, holiday planning, bamboo underwear and plenty of noisy sandals on gravel. More

Jon and Luke begin year two with a morning off-roader, swapping pub pints for coffee and catching up after the anniversary crawl. Thomas Cromwell, tarmacadam, language myths and listener complaints all feature before the conversation reaches hangxiety, a possible Simon Sausage imposter, unusual afterlife options and a disturbing dental mannequin. More

Jon and Luke celebrate a full year of Everything But The Pub with a Southbourne pub crawl, an auxiliary banana and several listeners stepping out from behind their messages. Quick-fire favourites, strange would-you-rathers, pub stories and microphone mishaps follow as the afternoon becomes warmer, louder and considerably less organised. More

Jon and Luke ease into Episode 51 with barbecue chat, hot-weather rambling and a tribute to the mighty Meat Manager before veering into sliced bread, posh origins, listener pedantry and plans for the episode 52 pub crawl. Warm, funny and full of little detours, this one feels like summer settling in properly. More

Jon and Luke brave a sweltering evening as roads soften, tempers wobble and the pub still somehow beckons. Episode 50 takes in melting tarmac, sea swims, saunas, the origin of 999, leap seconds, listener messages and a typically chaotic warm-weather second half. Loose, funny and slightly delirious, it is another walk where the heat becomes part of the story. More

Jon and Luke wander through sea mist, retro gaming memories, Alan Turing chat and a distinctly hazy pub stop in Episode 49. There is fog, BMX, listener messages, charity-shop finds and a second half full of odd British details, low-stakes drama and the sort of drifting conversation this show does very well. More

A rattled start turns into a classic wandering episode as Jon and Luke chat about Mary Shelley, the Year Without Summer, Pepsi’s indigestion roots, listener messages, pub life and one very troublesome shoelace. There’s 3D-printing, guitar geekery, shampoo etymology and a proper announcement too. Loose, funny and full of the sort of details this show does best. More

Jon and Luke drift through heat, rain, pub chat and guitar history as a walk through Eiford turns into a ramble about Les Paul, bargain pants, Glastonbury favourites and listener corrections. There’s a damp pub bench, some costly vintage guitars, a roadside cameo and a perfectly timed photo opportunity that ends up naming the episode. More

Forgotten microphones sends Episode 46 briefly onto four wheels before Jon and Luke return to form with beach crowds, electric-chair history, burner-phone chaos, lager tops, hot dog etymology and a surprisingly deep question about memory. Pile of Tiles feels hot, busy and slightly derailed in exactly the way a good early-summer episode should. More

A sunny clifftop walk, beach-bar holiday vibes, Henry Ford, Casio nostalgia, hot dog origins, boombox beers and a second pub all collide in Episode 45. It’s warm, loose and slightly delirious in the best way, with seaside optimism, sharp tangents and the feeling that Jon and Luke may have got a little carried away. More

Episode 44 sees Jon and Luke drift from school hymns and first-time chinos into Anne Boleyn, cowboy hats, Brave browser tips, pub ratings and a surprisingly deep discussion about emotions. Brave Chinos is funny, slightly strange and full of the sort of sideways observations that make ordinary evenings sound far more dramatic than they probably were. More

Jon and Luke roam from Glasgow road-trip fatigue and cream tea in Dorset to the chaos of the WannaCry cyberattack, listener corrections and a pub cameo from Beard. There’s also school assembly nostalgia, odd classified ads, word origins and the usual late-night drift into silliness. Another loose, funny and sharply observant walk through absolutely everything but the pub. More

Luke’s new high‑tops earn him the nickname Maldi McFly as he and Jon reminisce about retro consoles and festival line‑ups. They chat about an upcoming Glasgow trip for a national sporting event, practise latte art and joke about May the 5th. The pair dive into Alan Shepard’s 1961 suborbital flight and other space trivia, setting the tone for a typically tangential stroll. More

Camping, Wales, the mutiny on the Bounty, the brutal origin of “deadline”, moon chat, Michael Jackson nostalgia, car aerials and a cardboard Sabrina Carpenter all turn up in Episode 41. Lady Angles is history, nonsense and oddly sharp observations all end up in the same pint-soaked lane. More

Recorded during a meandering stroll to the pub, Jon and Luke bounce from reversible jackets and BMX live streams to tea confessions and DIY mishaps. They ponder Titanic trivia, pay tribute to Prince’s musicianship and even argue about the origin of the word sand. It’s a laid‑back, tangential wander full of jokes, trivia and pub‑bound banter.

This week Jon and Luke reunite with an old friend over pints, reminisce about Top of the Pops and debate weather, cycling and gustow dinners. They tease facts about salt’s role in the word “salary” and marvel at Russia’s 11 time zones versus Africa’s enormity. Join them for banter, trivia and a pub night to remember. More

Jon and Luke wander through a spring evening in Bournemouth, swapping jokes about cold‑water dips and misadventures. They marvel at a WWII escape plot involving three tunnels and mountains of pilfered bed slats, touch on a Welsh legend about a heroic hound and reveal how one inmate mailed himself out of prison. Expect tangents, travel plans and Brown Ale quips. More

Jon and Luke brave the cold to swap tales about a flawless sofa delivery, a spiralling car‑service bill and DIY disasters before diving into St Patrick’s Day myths, asphalt vs tarmac and the challenge of splitting the G on a pint of Guinness. With parents’ evening mishaps, banned bonfires and odd would‑you‑rathers, it’s classic pub‑walk banter with plenty of laughs. More

Jon and Luke dodge traffic, admire a full moon and discuss co‑parenting a compact camera. They reminisce about phone cards and Alexander Graham Bell’s accidental first call, mispronounce ‘habanero’, ponder screen time statistics and compare favourite months while rating the pub with their usual humour.
