DEE-lighted to welcome back the OG Giles Brooks on to the poddy. Recorded at our supper club at The Drapers Arms a coupla weeks ago. So many brands get stuck in the £2 - £5 million pond

The trough of sorrow

The dip

The grind

Giles, as always, gives super straightforward answers to complicated problems
