    Episode 25 - Nathan Retzer

    Tune in for the last episode of the season! We’ll be back with you after the summer holidays and some much-needed tan! It only took Nathan Retzer 6 years to get where he is today! No pressure! Starting humbly as a barista in Chicago, he found himself in London 4 years later. He must have outgrown all the latte art competitions, brewers, and roasting cups. In 2012, he opened Quarter Horse with his wife. Sometimes, you need to be bored with accomplishments to come up with something even more fantastic! Tune in on the only day Nathan Retzer wasn’t busy roasting, and we caught him for some coffee business talk, culture, and insights on how the industry has changed over the years.

    24 - Izzy Austen

    Everyone sort of has an idea of how the corporate ladder looks like but how does a career revolving around coffee unravel itself? Izzy Austen is many things, she’s Izzy Austen naturally, who likes other things besides coffee, you know, like neighbourhood cats and photography! She’s also a caffeine gal and avid coffee sipper in a world of coffee bros. She runs Fuelled By Caffeine Mag, a creative outlet for the UK coffee scene, as well as Baristas On Tap where she connects highly skilled baristas to spare shifts across the specialty coffee industry.  But most of all, Izzy Austen is- her story, that paved the way for the path on which she finds herself today, with the help of none other than her granny who ingrained her immense love for coffee from an early age, when she would let her eat sugar sprinkled froth off her cappuccinos. Thank you Izzy’s granny!

    Episode 22 - Sab Samuel

    ”Can we stop saying people with autism? It’s not something in me, and I don’t need no cure!! I am autistic.”  But Sam Samuel's identity goes beyond autism; they are also the founder of Drag Queen Story Hour UK and an award-winning children's author. We explore Sab's boundless creativity, tracing back to their early years when they began writing film ideas at just 12 years old. We delve into their literary works, including 'My First Pride', 'It's Snot a Problem' and 'The Three Goats United' uncovering the profound messages woven into each narrative. Additionally, we uncover the significance of including Drag Queen Story Hour in previous Cup North events, with Aida H Dee captivating audiences as the storyteller. And as expected, our conversation extends to the experiences of navigating a neurotypical world while being neurodiverse, shedding light on the complexities and nuances of this journey.

    Episode 21 - Noni Morrison

    We can delve into the intricate makeup of humanity, exploring the essence of the human experience. Similarly, we can embark on a journey through the makeup of coffee — from its origins in lush fields to its retail price. But our dialogue shouldn’t end here; we must confront the consequences of our coffee consumption on both the environment and the livelihoods of coffee farmers.  This encapsulates the mission of Noni's Coffee Roasters to elevate the taste of your coffee while enriching the entire coffee chain and prioritising environmental sustainability. This includes a meticulous examination of water physics at processing stations and the unique challenges of roasting in rural landscapes.
