Pull up a chair at the Oxford Taproom and meet Laura Fleming—marketing and events coordinator at Garrison and the creative force behind You Found Flora. We trade festival stories, and unpack how a great night out is actually built: clear incentives, sharp programming, and moments designed to live on your camera roll. Laura takes us from the chaos of pre-production to the glow of a packed crowd, sharing the small choices—signage, stage pacing, social-first clips—that turn one-off shows into must-visit traditions.We get real about the media we love and the media that drives us nuts. From 90s horror comfort watches to a spirited debate on reality TV ethics, we examine what happens when formats meet incentives. Does Love Is Blind test connection or reward clout? How does editing frame villains and heroes? And why do comedians who master crowd work feel so electric live? Laura’s take: authenticity endures, and audiences can smell misalignment from a mile away. For creators and brands, that means set the rules, honour them, and cut the filler.We spotlight crushable hazy IPAs, approachable sours, and the story-rich brews that cement community—like Doug's Brau.Subscribe to the Afternoon Pint for more candid conversations, share this with a friend who loves local culture, and leave a review to tell us your favourite Halifax spot to try next.
