Welcome back to the Manor! Welcome to our annual "best of" episode where Jody gives his top album picks and James gives his top picks of whatever he feels like (this year its pints of Guinness). Yes, we know it's May, but we wanted to put some thought into it! Jody did anyway. Enjoy!
Next week's episode is about the Pythons Arms pub, a cross over between Monty Python and early micro-brewing.

Welcome back to the Manor! Okay, the title is a bit misleading. But would the title "study analyzes what happens when full pints are reduced to 2/3rds pint" have piqued your interest? I think not!
But it is an overlap, to see what would happen if pint sizes were reduced. Listen in to see what happened when a study in the UK had a dozen voluntary pubs reduce their pint sizes. Did it reduce drinking? If so, by how much? Did anything else change?
Listen on! After pouring yourself either a full pint or a 2/3rds of a half or whatever you want. It's all voluntary here at the Manor, as well!
Next week's episode is the 4th of our Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti 50th anniversary episodes, with their touring for the PG album.

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to another 50th anniversary arc for Led Zeppelin! Physical Graffiti came out 50 years ago in 1975, so we're covering it this year! Part 2 continues the story with the recording of the album, the album cover, and where the album charted. Basically all things album related except the songs! We'll get to those in part three, so hang in there.
So pour yourself a pint and enjoy some Physical Graffiti!
Next week's episode is on... well, at the point in time we scheduled this, we're not sure! It'll be fun, though!

Welcome back to the Manor! Welcome to more folk horror spooky fun! This episode goes into "Blood on Satan's Claw," mostly the movie, but also the audio dramatization and the full length novel. We're diving into it like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, comparing the versions, all of which are true!
Pour yourself a pint of bitter and get ready to explore the eerie English country side with us!
Next week's episode is part 2 of our Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti arc!

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to another 50th anniversary arc for Led Zeppelin! Physical Graffiti came out 50 years ago in 1975, so we're covering it this year! Part 1 starts back in 1974, however, with the creation of Zep's vanity label Swan Song, along with some miscellaneous bits such as meeting Elvis and jamming with the Rolling Stones.
We know we had promised Blood on Satan's Claw in the notes from last week's episode, but don't worry! That will be out next week, so that we can split up the Zep arc episodes like we typically do.
So pour yourself a pint and enjoy some Physical Graffiti!
Next week's episode is on Blood on Satan's Claw with what it has in common with HHGTTG.
