Radical · Should Phones Be Banned in Pubs? (Your Radical Questions with Oisín Rogers) · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

the Devonshire in Soho, which has been named the UK's number one gastropub for 2026. voice-verified

In our Thursday episode, which if you haven't heard, you must go back and listen to, we talked about the really radical changes happening in the world of pubs, the fact that two of them are closing every single day. voice-verified

And if that rate were to continue, big if, there will be none left in 2050. voice-verified

That's probably not going to happen because some pubs are very, very successful and very, very loved. voice-verified

One of them is run by Ashin, and he's got some pretty radical ideas on how you can fix the decline of pubs. voice-verified

If you haven't heard it yet, do go back and listen to that main podcast. voice-verified

But for now, it's wonderful to have you here. voice-verified

And Ashin, it's wonderful to have you here as well. voice-verified

Are you feeling ready for some radical questions? voice-verified

Okay, as usual. voice-verified

Good to see you, Amol. voice-verified

We've got a lot of people who, like you, voice-verified

Chris, thank you very much indeed. voice-verified

And sorry to hear about the death of Rob Jones. voice-verified

It's really interesting, Chris, if I may say, that you raised this idea of a cooperative venture. voice-verified

I'll put your question to Ashina in just a moment. voice-verified

But I will say that the whole idea of mutuals and cooperatives is something that actually got a lot of momentum 15 years ago at the start of the coalition government. voice-verified

Lots of people saying, is this something that could be the manifestation of the big society that could be spread across? voice-verified

And of course, I guess if you're talking about pubs as social institutions which serve the community, voice-verified

There's a case for saying maybe the people that work there should, as you say, Chris, have a vested interest in the day-to-day running of the pub. voice-verified
