Kate and I met at Santiago because that's where all my stories start! She's an absolute star, and stepped away from the bar scene to do the office-side Events type stuff in 2019 (I think)

Life had other plans though, and Baby Two (AKA, Vinny!) meant she left the Events world last year for Maternity Leave. She joined me as that Mat Leave was drawing to a close and talked the Leeds Bar Scene, balancing her two lives, and a Whole bunch about horror films

The beers were from Vocation & Vault City

He's mentioned his past in Hardcore bands fleetingly, but Frank Turner's never gone DEEP on the subject. So that's exactly what we did.

We knew each other in the late 90s when we were both falling in love with the Hardcore-Punk thing as teenagers, and have stayed in contact over his incredible journey so far, so I felt in as good a place as anyone to tackle this subject with him.

Hope you enjoy the chat, and be sure to check out the bands we talk on. Many won't have stuff on Spotify, but if you give Bandcamp and YouTube a look you'll usually find something

Ani and I met when she was working Santiago Bar eight or so years ago. She's since worked a whole bunch of other bars, as well as pursuing a career in Psychology.

We chatted on the ups & downs of bar life, loads of chat about the Leeds scene in general, and of course, issues around Mental Health in the Hospitality industry Ani had some fantastic ideas on things the industry could do to improve the risks to mental health issues that workers face.

It's great to see more people talking about this (as ever, check out White Fox Talking podcast!), but there's a whole bunch more that could be done Hope you enjoy our chat
