    Hello and welcome to the last in this series of To The Regiment: The Early Doors Podcast with Phil Mealy


    In this episode we pick up where we left off. In the ladies loo's.


    We discuss karaoke, high fives, punches, and the wolf of wall street.


    Apologies for the delay on this one but we're briefly back before the pub goes under a refurb for series three (of the podcast, not the show).


    See you in later in the year for more tales from behind the bar.


    Check out Phil's socials for links to his tour shows.

    TICK! TOCK!


    What a load of crap.


    Hello and welcome to series 2 episode six episode review (part one).


    In this first of two episodes Phil and Ben go to Mel's 21st Birthday party. There's some much detail and subtext in this episode that we've had to put it into two parts.


    So expect, well a lot of love for the cast, the writing, juxtaposition, Easter eggs, and TICK TOCK.


    We hope you enjoy and see you soon for part two.

    Hello and welcome to the long awaited part two of episode five review from series two. (that is very poor English from me).


    Firstly, apologies for the long wait on this one. One thing or another just halted proceedings.


    But we're back to discuss the second half of episode five series two.


    So expect, drama, shots of single malt, and Tommy stealing the scene, again.


    We also speak about Phil's one man shows coming up. You can get tickets here, if you're quick.
