Hi my name is Ben and I am a podcaster and gin lover.
I am biased but I believe the world is a better place with gin in it.
Over the last few months I have been inspired by many happy folk on Instagram and their amazing love for gin.
It has been an interesting journey but not one I want to continue alone.
So saddle up and let's share the next gin story together.
This is a weekly show published on Friday at 09:00 BST ready for the weekend.
I will be interviewing some of the biggest and some of the smallest distilleries, bar owners and basically anyone who wants to profess their love for gin.
Alternatively there will be me and a story.
Rest assured there will always be gin.
If you are in the gin industry I want to talk to you and learn more and I want to help you grow your following.
If you are a lover of gin then I want to give you some ginspiration by the gin I meet through the podcast.
Fill your glass up, grab the tonic and let's being our journey together.
The podcast will go live on 26th June 2020
