Welcome to the 3rd episode of the GlutenFitz podcast, run by two uni students. Today, we have a very special guest in none other than the popular owner of Nottingham’s Ocean night club, Andy Hoe! We discuss the future of Ocean, that time two students visited him in Canada, his friendship with David Hasselhoff, his favourite VK colour, and so much more. Thank you to everyone who submitted questions – sorry we couldn’t do every single one, namely because we forgot/thought we’d covered it/had to stop cos it was dinner time! Note this one went on for longer than intended, so we have put time stamps down below if people have sections they’re particularly interested in (though of course we’d much rather you listened to the whole thing!).
Thank you too Andy for coming on, we really appreciate it; follow him on Instagram @andythehoe. Please follow us on Spotify for more podcasts, and on Instagram @GlutenFitz to stay up-to-date. Big love, Max and Joe.
