Ever wondered who’s keeping The Good Stuff Podcast going (and keeping us off the Pot Noodles)? Meet our glorious sponsor: Peach Pubs.

This week we chat to Trevor Blake, Peach’s Food Operations Manager, though we like to call him Culinary Gandalf: wise, majestic, and capable of summoning lobster with a flick of his ladle.

We talk proper food, proper pubs, and why Peach are basically the Beyoncé of British hospitality.

We tried their food (obviously), and let’s just say FOMOOGF (Foh-moog-eff: Fear Of Missing Out On Great Food) is real. But don't be sad, you too can relieve your FOMOOGF with their 'Crack Into Summer' menu: whole native lobster, with garlic butter or hand-picked crab both with skinny fries, and a chilled glass of Picpoul de Pinet, every Thursday to Saturday until 23rd August 2025. It’s fresh, fancy, and flipping delicious.

Plus, our podcast serving suggestions are the usual nonsense, silliness and the odd nugget of wisdom. Hit play and let’s get peachy.

Right. We said we’d never go there. But here we are. This week, we’re diving into the syrupy world of love languages - yes, those two words make Kevin feel a bit sick in his mouth, but there you go. Apparently this is how you grow as a person. Vom.

This episode isn’t about that kind of love. There’s no Hugh Grant standing in the rain, and no one gets married to someone they met last week. It’s not Notting Hill or Four Weddings, it’s more about the other kind of love- the messy, weird, human kind where you try to figure out what the hell the people around you actually need from you (instead of just assuming it’s Bourbon biscuits and being left alone).

Kev and Izzie take a Love Languages quiz (yes, the one you secretly already did at 2am once after a breakup), and find out if Kev is really just crying out for words of affirmation or a bloody back rub. Izzie, as ever, keeps things grounded while Kev interrupts her roughly every 14 seconds. She retaliates by polishing her whiskey glass directly into the mic. It’s podcast gold. Also, Mark Manson gets a shout out, he’s the bloke who wrote The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**.* He’s a straight-talking life coach type who somehow makes you feel better about being a total emotional bin fire. Thanks Mark.

So grab a drink. Grab a fan. It’s going to be hot (but not in the sexy way - we’re talking 30°C and sweaty thighs on your sofa). And maybe, just maybe, you’ll actually learn something about yourself or at the very least, what not to do in your relationships.

We’re back. You’re welcome. (Or brace yourselves.)

After an extended “vacation”, during which Kevin became a responsible adult (genuinely alarming) and Izzie took up stalking (she didn’t, I just have terrible hearing) we’ve returned to the land of podcasting like prodigal children with microphones.

This episode finds us in a teepee at the delightfully earthy Wood Festival - yes, a real-life canvas triangle in a real-life field. We’re surrounded by trees, tunes, and the legendary Bennett family - the magical minds behind Truck Festival, Truck Store, Wood Festival, September Song and much much more.

We wanted to visit the Wood Festival because it’s all about the things we should be doing more of - enjoying the world around us, connecting with nature, speaking to actual humans (without a screen in the way), and daring to enjoy the weather… even when it’s British. The good wood stuff!

There’s also chat about de-peaking (it’s grim, it’s real, it’s someone’s actual job), festival shenanigans and why Kevin won’t go near a loo unless it has a view (ooh that rhymed!)

More episodes are on their way. And yes, that is a threat.
