Straight from the Hot Tap

By: Matt Baty
  • Summary

  • This podcast is definitely unique. The concept, 4 old friends and a member of the Cheshire landed gentry discuss growing up in a town they no longer live in, really shouldn't work. Yet here we are. Join the hosts as they take a surreal, irreverent walk through modern life, the Administrative Centre of Somerset, strange animal encounters and a load more. There is even some serious content. Occasionally. This Podcast is designed to make you laugh, reflect and see the humour in the world around you. Expect some slightly controversial content, but ultimately this podcast will feel like Eve's Dropping on a pub chat between 5 close friends.

  • Episode 28 - Ukraine, Part 3. An interview with a Ukrainian interpreter
    Apr 6 2022

    This is part 4 of our series of podcasts about Ukraine.

    In this episode we are privileged to be joined by Pavlo who is currently in Ukraine.

    Pavlo worked with Paul Biddle as an interpreter during his mysterious work there a few years ago.

    Pavlo talks about the current situation, the build up and what it’s like living with the fear and stress of the Russian Army destroying your homeland. Paul gives us a unique insight into the practicalities of military operations and we discuss the way forward for both Ukraine, The West, and the hope for peace.


    This is a searingly honest and powerful testimony and well, well worth a listen.

    Mar 4 2022

    Welcome to a sombre Part 2 of our Ukraine focused


    series of episodes.


    This is both fascinating and also sobering. As the Ukraine conflict develops, Matt, Paul and I discuss what this means for Europe, what the West can do next, and how dangerous this really is.


    The conclusions are evident in the podcast – this is serious.
