We finally got around to recording it a few days before Christmas - but I've been REALLY busy ever since and by the time I got around to editing the interview it had dated really badly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thankfully Sonja is one of the nicest people around and agreed to re-record the interview. So here it is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;(PS - also included some more first round matches of the WC of AF... including Sonja's Yardarm against an Aldi AF beer.

with Sonja Mitchell of Jumpship Beers

How was your Christmas / New Year / Dry January / Lockdown 3 / Homeschooling? It's been two months since Matt &amp; I last had the time to record a podcast.

The Apology Episode

<description>&lt;p&gt;Shall we start with the caveats?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Matt and I recorded this episode at the end of Lockdown Part 2 - when the only way to meet was socially distanced at either end of a bench in the park. So it sounds a little different to usual.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;We've got some fixture congestion in the World Cup of AF - so it's a double header of two matches today. We're going to hold a few matches between episodes and announce a load of results in the next podcast - watch out Jeff Stelling - THIS is the results show the nation needs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also in the episode we discuss the difference between 0.0% and 0.5%, and I have a confession. A really little one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

Including the draw for the first round of the AF World Cup

I can't even begin to tell you how hungover Matt was during this episode.&nbsp; It might just be the last time I see Matt given the latest lockdown announcements - and this is how I have to remember him!!! On this episode we channel our inner Mark Chapman as we draw the first round of the AF World Cup, and chat to three inspiring guys looking to change the way we drink.&nbsp; Let us know what you make of the AF World Cup draw - there are some interesting match-ups. <a href="https://www.wetanddrypodcast.com/home/the-hungover-episode" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">You can see the full draw on the website</a> <hr> Hosted on Acast.

The Hungover Episode

<description>&lt;p&gt;We're into the final quarter of my year off drinking. Time for some big decisions. I've been swaying between sobriety and moderation quite a bit in terms of my plans for 2021... so I'm thrilled that Jamie East joins us on this podcast as he 'celebrates' the third anniversary of his sobriety. He definitely seems to be thriving, and at one point in his interview he tells Matt and I that he's a better husband, father and employee as a result of giving up booze - well who doesn't aspire to be better at all of the above? It's a great interview - massive thanks to Jamie for giving up his morning (he'd already recorded a show and been for a run at 9.30 in the morning - now if that's not an advert for sobriety I don't know what is!!!)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a different note - this episode sees the first match in our World Cup of AF as Brewdog's Nanny State takes on the new 'Low Down' from Aldi's 'Hop Factory' brand. Who will come out on top and win a place in the next round?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;NB - Contains fruitier language than normal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

Jamie East & The World Cup of AF

<description>&lt;p&gt;Don't worry - I haven't fallen off the wagon. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a break for the summer we're back! And to celebrate we're cracking open a bottle of tequila. Well, sort of. In this episode we chat to Fern McCoy, who has BOSSED her lockdown. While most of us were watching Hamilton for the 17th time on Disney+, Fern was creating, making and launching her own non-alcoholic spirit - Mockingbird. Born of her love of all things Mexican, and in support of her sober boyfriend, she's created something incredible. So get your salt, lemon and lime ready... for the first episode of Season 2. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS - If you like the sound of Mockingbird - &lt;a href="https://www.wetanddrypodcast.com/home/season-2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;visit our website&lt;/a&gt; for a special offer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.
