Ailments, Ales and Aliens

Sobriety has returned for the production of this podcast! We visit 2 of Edinburgh's most famous pubs, both in the City Centre and both owned by the DM Stewart Group. (a longstanding old pub group for the city) We cover our most pressing injuries and health complaints, the recent magnificent Scotland performance that sends (for the first time since 1998) us to the 2026 World Cup next summer!
