Send us Fan MailIn this episode, you’ll learn how one little bar magazine cuts through all the bullshit of spirits sales, cool bar hype and the patronising of bartenders.We hear from Rebekkah Dooley, co-founder of Discard, a hospitality publication that breaks all the rules: Independent, Transparent & Bullshit Free. We learn how the magazine has given voice to the foot soldiers of an industry that have been abandoned by governments, manipulated by drinks companies and continuously undervalued. She also takes exception to the Bar Competition Industry that is setting bars against each other and profiting from an á la carte attitude to rules.We also welcome another guest to our "Desert Island" where they can choose to bring only one drink with them. This time it's the turn of Nick Curtis Davis, Head of Innovation for the Irish Food Board and an all round beverage miracle worker. Nick stretches the rules of the game to breaking point as he bends the laws of time and space in search of the perfect drink.It's an action packed episode, we also carry out a live cannabis experiment, we do battle in an impromptu quiz and muse on the brevity of a podcast "career"!
