The High Street Life podcast is presented by Roma Bhowmick and Leona Fensome and is a six-part series looking at life as an independent retailer on the St Albans High Street.

The series is sponsored by the St Albans BID (Business Improvement District) and will share with you, the stories, triumphs and challenges of business owners and managers who serve our community on a daily basis.

In this sixth and last episode, we chat with two general managers of local businesses,  Mad Squirrel Taprooms, James Ward, and The Peahen's, Phil Ottaway. They share with us, what their hospitality and pub journey has been like and also, how during lockdown they continually adapted to meet their customer needs and how they supported their teams and the St Albans community amidst an ever-changing landscape.
