    s02e10: God Save the Queen

    It’s the last episode so who better to get down to The Malty than the
    Queen?

    We’ll, it’s not quite the Queen but a pretty close second!

    Tune in to hear British High Commissioner Laura Clarke talks about
    everything from Brexit to Shortland St!

    Brewer Kelly Ryan and journalist Patrick Gower may have different
    professions, but the school friend’s bro-mance is real (especially after a

    Parliament is a strange, hectic place and the public rely on the Press
    Gallery to make sense out of what those politicians are trying to do to
    them. Two of the best are TVNZ's Jessica Mutch and Newshub's Tova O'Brien,
    seasoned veterans of the gallery who have recently been crowned political
    editors of their respective media outlets and they join us at The Malthouse
    for beers, and a pot of tea.

    In what may be the most ridiculous podcasting coup in NZ history, The

    The Prime Minister’s on maternity leave and the rulebook has gone out the
    window. We dragged Justice Minister Andrew Little and Consumer Minister
    Kris Faafoi down to the Fork n Brewer for a few Monday pints to see what we
    could squeeze out of them.

    We’re joking. Dominic Kelly and Phil Cook aren’t angry at all. Well, not
    really.

    They definitely know their stuff when it comes to the beer industry though
    and they’re not afraid to speak their mind. Respect.
