• Stockton Heath, England | Gin
    Nov 27 2024

    Welcome to Stockton Heath in jolly old England.

    Stockton Heath boasts the most gin distilleries per capita in the UK. Its second claim to fame is having the largest number of podcasts per capita in the tri-county area.

    The upcoming "Spring Barrel Fling" creates a palpable atmosphere of excitement, trepidation, and competitiveness as the townsfolk prepare their bodies and barrels for this annual spectacle. The Fling consists of inserting oneself (or two selves) into a spent gin barrel and hurling it down the hill, over a ramp, and into the landing zone. The fastest time in each division wins possession of the "GOLDEN BARREL" or the "DOUBLE BARREL" trophy and bragging rights.

    Spoiler ALERT: Chauncey Stovepipe is miraculously alive and well. He is currently living with his mum, his iguana Spencer, and his broom collection in Dorchester. His new podcast, The Dorchester Chowder Report, has gone viral, and he is quite the man about town.

    Please enjoy three of Stockton Heath's most charming and relevant podcast offerings (courtesy of the Stockton Heath Podcast Network).

    • The Great Personality Pod: Hosted by Sabrina and Konrad. They have never met IRL Until today...
    • The Barstool (#BarLife): Hosted by Lina and Clumsy Cassie. The show's slogan is Mix Drinks | Drink Drinks | Spill Drinks | Repeat. Special Appearance by Bob in the corner.
    • Healthy Home: Hosted by Laura Richardson and her real-life Cousin Jen. These Cousinprenuers own the local gym and Cousins' Botanicals.

    Sponsors include SpeedFriending.com, Blinkers Coffee (ONLY) Shop, Chauncey's Chimneys, Connor's Coopers Cornucopia Fine Barrels, Konrad's Life Insurance, Stockon Heath City Hall, Cousins' Botanicals, the SH Gin Collective, and "WHAMO."
