Καλωσορίσατε στο ουδέτερο ξενοδοχείο μηλίτη! Join Gabe Cook, Martyn Goodwin-Sharman, Grant Hutchison and Producer Scott, for this week’s booking, in a layover from Greece.

The guys chat holiday and work for Gabe, the now-not-so-new release of In Touch IV for Martyn, tickets to the hottest show in town for Grant, and a training montage from the 80’s for backpacking with Scott.

Then it's the news, with the slow moving cogs of the local cider industry on full show, with the guys discussing the recent grubbing of 300 acres of orchard by the company Heineken. Having a surprisingly balanced look at the situation, the hoteliers give their hot takes on the subject, before this week's big interview.

The first celebrity cider maker, the artist formerly known for Mock the Week is the one and only Ed Byrne! Fresh on tour with his new show: Tragedy Plus Time, Ed discusses everything with the guys. From horticulture to brotherhood, second place apples to beautiful people exclusives, its a laugh chatting to a comedian in incredible physical shape. The guys chat and drink, and this week it's Starlight by the wonderful Rull Orchard.

Finally, the guys have heard the hotel guest complaints, and are responding to the backed up pipe running through the hotel. Busting open with messages throughout the years, the speakpipe is back, and this time with some very lovely notes.

And with that, the hotel closes for another week. Please do check out the socials, and send us your messages to have your say in where the guys go next, what happens in the future, and just let us know how you’re doing! And get ready for our next guest at the Neutral Cider Hotel!

Join Gabe Cook, Martyn Goodwin-Sharman, Grant Hutchison and Producer Scott Riggs at the Neutral Cider Hotel! The lads warm up for another victory lap around the specialist drink podcast circuit, regale of fatherhood, and lament using their mum’s dialup!

The guys select a drink that represents their last year, with Martyn selecting Wilding Cider’s Dabinett & Foxwhelp, Grant carefully opening Oliver’s Gold Rush 10, Gabe brings New Zealand’s finest to the table with Peckham’s Apple, and finally Scott cracks a blast from the past with Oliver’s Bottle Conditioned 2018.

The guys diverge from tradition and plug a different book, Perry: A Drinker’s Guide by fellow podcaster Adam Wells. There’s tour discussions with The Twilight Sad and The Cure, the wonderful Cidercon and a conversation with Minnesota natives, an old friend and some new enemies.

Producer Scott shares a tale of the tooth and some sad news about an old friend. Then, the guys close out the show by playing a little quiz that Gabe created. It's more of a slog, but feel free

Join Producer Scott as he chats with NCH Host Martyn Goodwin-Sharman on this special episode of the Neutral Cider Hotel podcast!

For the fifth and final stop on his 2023 UK tour, Producer Scott traveled from London back to Bristol where it all began. Sitting down with the podcast host that induced the most side-splitting laughter...The guy that told Rainn Wilson to fuck off within five minutes of their interview with him...A man with a heart of gold and the hardest working man in cider, Mr. Martyn Goodwin-Sharman.

They started out by discussing what Martyn has been up to over the past year, why his popular Cidershit Instagram account is so quiet lately, what has motivated him to be so damn fit and what's this impending baby news we've been hearing so much about.

They also talked about how Martyn's views on cider have changed, his outlook on fatherhood and what the Neutral Cider Hotel means to him.

And for this final episode, it was fucking fantastic chatting and laughing with Martyn, a genuinely funny and good human.

So, here we are. The final episode of this little mini-series checking in with the guys and a couple of cider makers we love. We really hope you've enjoyed these conversations as much we enjoyed making them.

And a heartfelt thank you from all of us at the Neutral Cider Hotel for supporting us for all of these years. We are truly humbled and grateful that you listened, wrote us, left voicemails and just always gave us the motivation to carry on.

And, we will carry on.

Please feel free to reach out to us on social media, leave us a voicemail or send us a note. We read them all and really appreciate each and every person that listens.

Also, do check out the other conversations from this trip in the podcast feed or any other episodes you've missed.

Thanks again for listening to the Neutral Cider Hotel podcast!
