The Meat Up with BrewShackBBQ: Recent Episodes
Phil Roberts
A podcast dedicated to BBQ, beer, food in general and everything in between.From experts to passionate home cooks - I talk to anyone with something to say about things that go in your mouth. Within reason.
Hey guys! I'm back for another season of the MEAT UP. How is everybody? .... I must really enjoy talking rhetorically as this episode has no guest,
It's just me catching you up on the last 7 or 8 months and then finishing with a reasonable breakdown (rant) on the rise of Mukbang and ASMR culture.
Glad to be back and will try to upload at least one podcast per month going forward.
This episode I'm joined by the lovely Kirsty from @Lovetocook4ppl
Kirsty is a recent Traeger ambassador and at that... a rather bloody good cook!
I asked her to come on for a chat a few weeks ago to get to know her a little as I am all about celebrating talented people I find while scrolling through social media. In this instance it just turned out she was super cool too, really enjoyed this one and hope you do too.

Super proud of this one as Gen has been on my list of bucket list guests since day one of the podcast. As somebody who started out my journey as a food blogger I have a special place in my heart for authors and people who work so hard on producing amazing physical books you can refer back to, read for inspiration or just to appreciate the art and craft that went into them from inception to print... sitting in the garden with a fire, a coffee and a book is the ultimate unwind. We discuss her previous books such as Charred (2019) and go into her upcoming release Fool Proof BBQ (April 15th).
On her Instagram bio Genevieve characterises herself with
Fire, BBQ, growing, nature, music. Proudly omnivorous. If there ever was a perfect guest for this show I'm pretty sure that description ticks a lot of boxes!

This week is personally a huge one for me.
After well over 10 years I reconnected with one of my oldest friends, Mark Cartwright, also known as Ginger Beard Mark. Mark makes some great content on YouTube (and more recently entered the podcasting world too) interviewing some legendary names in UK comedy and culture including Gail Porter, Stewart Lee, Richard Herring and Dom Joly to name a few.
Knowing he was coming on the podcast, Mark went out of his way to get a BBQ and start his journey in live fire cooking which was super sweet and after one of the most isolating years of my life it was a wonderful thing to be able to properly pick up where we left off in one of the most important friendships I had in my younger years and throughout my early teens.

This week is a sit down with my friend Stu Hughes who works for Skinners brewery in Truro, Cornwall. A brewery that I'm incredibly passionate about and has seen some trying times of late.
As a result they are crowdfunding and I wanted to support them by having Stu on to have a chat about it, for more information go to: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/skinners-brewery
What started as an idea for a chat about beer and the brewing industry turned into two mates shaking off the lockdown cobwebs and just enjoying an elongated catch up and it was an absolute pleasure to have a less structured chat with someone who has been a fixture in my circle since the start of the 2020 debacle

Episode 36 is a huge tick off my initial hit list in welcoming the legend that is Marcus Bawdon onto the podcast.
Marcus has built a reputation as one of the most prominent figures in UK live fire cooking and to get him on a podcast with me for an hour is an honour on my part. He is that he is a total gentleman and we get stuck into the process of writing and releasing a book, including his latest release 'Skewered' and how he built up Country Wood Smoke to where it is now.

This week is a lovely little chat with Kev AKA Edge BBQ
I had promised to get him on ages ago but I'm shit so it took ages to sort. However I redeemed myself and here he is!
Kev is a guy who has very similar taste to me in styles of cooking, recent Angus & Oink ambassador, BBQ set ups and highly flammable Cobra Kai tracksuits... so it's a welcomed addition to the quickly growing pod library of TMU.

After a week off (due to my podcast provider having a security breach) were BACK!
This time having a super interesting chat with my friend and fellow Globaltic family member Jurgen. Commonly known as 'Culinary Demons' on Instagram.
Working with his wife, Rana (@syriuss.photography) they create some of the most inspiring and beautiful food content on the platform in my opinion. Great to finally get him on and have a beard wag with him.

This week I'm happy to say we got well and truly back into some beer chat with Dragons prop and el capitan of beer company Peoples Captain, Greg Bateman.
We discuss Greg's entry into the brewing industry, Peoples Captains beer range, the craft scene and every other minor brewy detail that could possibly crop up in an hour. Greg also takes on the dreaded 'Question Of Pork' to do battle with some serious food and drink general knowledge

Another week, another podcast!
This week (If a little late, sorry about that) I sat down with Jay also known as @bbqjay to talk about his foray into food, straying, as is now customary, onto a few off topic bits and pieces and challenging him to be put to the sword in 'A Question Of Pork' to finish us off.
Really chill catch up and one that I hope to repeat again soon!

This episode was one of my favourites I've done this year so far as I sit down for a catch up with my mate and professional rugby player Nick Schonert aka Sharky.
We grab a brew and sit down for a natter with almost no agenda.. loosey goosey. We do nip into the BBQ sphere a few times but its largely just two blokes chatting like you would in a pub over a beer.
Pubs were good weren't they? Does anyone remember pubs!?

30 Episodes!! 30!! Doesn't seem like a big milestone until you realise it's nearly 50 hours of podcasting released since I started this thing.
To celebrate I asked Dan Cooper from Weber UK to come on the pod to talk all things Weber, food, how 2020 effected his and Weber's approach and BBQ in general. We also make some really good analogies between classic cars and grilling. Trust me, it's a good one. A veritable Weber love in... A good chat had over a beer on a cold January night.

This weeks episode is one I've wanted to tick off for a while in Adam Purnell also known as Shropshire Lad.
Adam is super local to me and I've been a big fan of him for a long time. We get the story about how he started in live fire cooking, Kadai, Kamado Joe (Including carrying one up a volcanic plug...) our local food scene and loads more!
We also have our first entry into 'A Question Of Pork'' our new quiz segment where we test our guests food & drink general knowledge!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
After a little break through Christmas I'm back with my friend Bekah, also known as Hungry Oink.
We did initially have a plan but we ended up having some beers and a bloody good chat. The plan popped up every now and then but really enjoyed the first podcast being super relaxed and just having a bit of fun with it to ring in the new year.
The bar is set high for 2021's upcoming guests!

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!
In this last episode for 2020 I catch up with returning guest Jack from @jacksmeatshack for a natter - not entirely about food.
We do get into our essential Christmas dinner items but t be fair we were due a catch up.. you just get to ear wig into a chat that goes all over the place. It's noted I start on water but I did graduate to the Blue Moon and you could tell by my lack of structure towards the end haha!
Thank you all for your support this year. Ever listen, like, share and message you guys have sent me. It's meant the world to me and I hope I can continue to make content for you into 2021 and beyond
Also thank you to Globaltic for sponsoring me and the podcast this year, I LOVE you guys!
This week we have a great little episode with my friend Dan from Urban Streatery.
Dan is a professional chef and a passionate street food advocate that is not only a talented foodie but also top, top chap.
We talk his background, street food, 2020 and its effect on Dan, house moves (eeek), Dan's sauces and we have a really cool announcement for 2021 that is going to allow us to work much more closely together in the coming months.

This was such a fun episode to record!
Not only is James one of the nicest people I've met this year, he's also one of the most interesting.
We talk about his career and life up until this point, living in Copenhagen and what brought him to becoming such a prominent face in the BBQ scene right now.
James host's and coordinates some of the best Instagram lives in the game including the Sunday Sizzle & Tenner Thursdays.
Was a joy to record and even more fun to listen back to

Todays episode is a reunion!
My old colleague Elliot drops by to educate me on all things cider. Elliot moved south a couple of years ago moving from beer to the fruity stuff and I figured I should call in a favour considering we have never really spoken about cider on the show before.
Hawkes are a really modern, interesting brand and I'm lucky to have gotten some time with Elliot. For more information on Hawkes check out:

This weeks episode is with Jack from Exmoor Game Co, a relatively new business started to make game more accessible to consumers who would usually default to a more 'standard' meat offering.
We talk about the benefits of adding game meat to your diet, wild life management and what brought Jack to this point, running a business and trying to change perceptions!

This week were doing things a little bit differently...
The podcast is brought to you in partnership with professional rugby player, pizza guru and BBQ enthusiast Ethan Waller's podcast @Needforfeed in a first 'Simulcast'
2 podcasts. One episode. two for the already incredibly low price of one. You lucky lot!
We cover a fair amount in the 1 hour 45 minute epic including Beer, BBQ, Charcoal, Gaming, Pizza (obviously... including a brief mention of the fabled tomato biscuit) Lockdown 2, the packed upcoming prem schedule and literally everything else in between.

I'm not even sure how to introduce this one... apart from it was a really, really fun one.
Lee and Chris are fantastic guests and these two not only keep you on your toes but also keep you 100% entertained. I fully intended on trimming some of this one down but it's a shame to lose any of it!
We talk food, BBQ and literally anything else that springs to mind.
Thoroughly enjoyed recording it and I know you'll love hearing it. If you have ever wondered what my ideal Tesco meal deal is then this is the episode for you...

This weeks episode I sit down and chat with my friend Rob and put 2020 to rights.
We talk less so about food and more so about how 2020 has effected us, how what we do and our live fire cooking can be an escape from how things have been among lots of other things along the way including nutrition and his interest in a low carb lifestyle.
It was really enjoyable to sit down and talk to Rob properly after a few months of back and forth DM's. He's one of the good ones!

So this one was touch and go as to whether it would ever get released for numerous reasons, all of which are my fault.
Myself, the two Tom's (Tom O' the North and Sir Thomas Of Shropshire) and Ali recorded a conversation over a few beers and got to know each other a little better while genuinely having a really good time while doing it.
We cover:
Our respective starts in BBQ
Veganism and artificial meat
Tom's quarter life crisis in Bolivia (A gap yahhh?)
Ali doesn't wear shoes and his feet are hanging
Pet hates
Sport jackets and why that term is fundamentally flawed
Apologies in advance to anyone offended by colourful language or flecks of dark humour. This one isn't for you.
I'm also very sorry to my Mom, the town of Walsall and anyone else in between who unsubscribes after this shit show of a podcast :)
This week I'm joined by Elky or as Instagram and YouTube know him The Smokin Elk.
We cover everything from his extensive BBQ collection, his round the world cooking challenge (including the fateful pepper pot), BBQ travels and his recent foray into making a YouTube show and everything in between.
Elky was a top 5 guest target and I really enjoyed our chat.

Today is a special one for me as I get to FINALLY do the 'brew' in my name some justice by having a discussion with Tom Slack, a professional brewer and passionate beer drinker.
We talk about the state of the industry (it was recorded around 3 weeks before pubs reopened), cask ales highs and lows and go off piste to talk about all sorts of lovely beer related bits.
If you like a beer.. this is absolutely one you shouldn't miss.

Today (..a little later due to bank holiday drinking...) I am delighted to have Dave from Wilsons BBQ & Omar from Good Rub/ BBQwithbenmez on to talk about the more manual side of BBQ in offset smoking.
Having had Gaz (@GBgrillmaster) on talking Traegers and a few other people to chat other formats and since Ali (Sosij_uk) mentioned offsets in episode 3... I figured it would be worth dedicating a whole episode to what some class as 'true' BBQ. No bells or whistles just managing a pure wood fire in a heavy duty offset pit.

Alex is the man in the know when it comes to foodie finds in our nations capital so I wanted to scoop some knowledge for when I get back down there!
We talk about what makes a good burger, lotus spread on burgers, lockdown life, wings, wings and salted caramel wings.... then finish off with the now habitual death row dinners

This weeks BBQ podcast feast is with Jack of Jacks Meat Shack.
A fun filled hour of live fire and foodie chit chat with a sprinkle of beer nausing (Yes I manage to shoe horn some Delirium chat in) makes for a thoroughly enjoyable natter.
We cover lockdown, beer, childhood BBQ's, Kamado Joe pros & cons, sourcing good quality meat and loads more.

*Disclaimer - I do talk about not buying cheaper versions of something in favour of waiting it out for the best quality. I'd like to announce that I am indeed full of shit as I bought a Masterbuilt Kamado yesterday which is basically a budget KJ classic. So it's worth saying that sometimes impulse just wins out!!

This week I sat down for a chin wag with Kate, a fellow Globaltic family member, awesome BBQing mom and Instagram aficionado to talk about her love for food & how in turn that carries over into her family life.
We of course also get into her more recent love for all things live fire and how it's started to change how she goes about her day to day...among other off topic bits & pieces. Along with a quick fire round, because why not...

A proper treat of a podcast for you here. After the success of the first episode of their new BBQ show on Instagram I reached out to two professional rugby players for Worcester Warriors, Matt & Nick to grab some of their time to chat food, braai culture and what made them start the show - what ended up happening was some of the most fun I've had recording a podcast. So much so I just had to release it early.
I wish them all the best for the restarted season and the continuation of the show!

This weeks episode is such an exiting one for me as I have professional chef, judge of the world cheese awards, Chef director of The Pig Hotel group, music aficionado & most importantly BBQ enthusiast James Golding.
We talk lockdown, game shooting, his travels abroad, cheese, music, BBQ & everything in between. You can find James on Instagram

Hi everyone, after last weeks episode with Kris form The Burnt Chef Project I had a lot of questions about the article I wrote.

In the next episode in the sub series of podcasts that covers different types of live fire cooking, I cover off wood fired ovens with Matt from @the_seasoned_blog and talk about his set up, maintenance, his overall experience with them and the things he likes to cook among many other things.
Matt is such a nice guy and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation from start to finish. Even if I did have to edit out accidentally calling him Paul at the beginning.

This weeks episode is with the nicest guy in the world & fellow Globaltic Family BBQ team member (This was recorded about a month ago though so we naturally don't touch on it) Gary, also known as GBGrillmaster.
In a series of pods I have done with users of various types of BBQ, this kicks off a little mini series talking about one type in particular. First up we have pellet grills from the perspective of a guy that absolutely knows them inside and out.
We also cover his participation in Restaurant Roulette which he subsequently went on to smash with KFC. Check out @Altonsbbqworld to check it out

As a little bonus I thought I would treat you to a bitesize snack to keep your podcast hunger at bay with some high level snack chat with Paul from Gloucester Biltong.
We chat the difference between Biltong & it's famous American cousin, the origin or the business and naturally, a little BBQ chat too!
7 years have passed since we met, competed against each other and established a great friendship... but there comes a time when a line in the sand must be drawn and the knives are sharpened for the rematch.
Incredibly fun to have Craig Osborne, my first returning guest back on to chat top to bottom burgers - finished by the launch of our BOTB rematch!

This week I get to satisfy my inner rugby nause as I welcome Worcester Warriors prop Ethan Waller onto the podcast.
Ethan owns his own pizza business in @sliceslivebabyuk (Instagram)/ www.sliceslicebabyuk.com and we have been in contact a fair bit throughout lockdown - mainly me sending him pictures of 'tomato biscuits' pretending to be pizzas and getting some valuable advice in return!
So we sit down to talk about food, pizza, our pet food hates (ASMR...) and his recent decision to join the live fire club.
Give Ethan's podcast a listen @Needforfeedpod
Today's topic... BBQ Nightmares!
The first of a sub series where I speak to BBQ fans, cooks, brewers and anyone in between about a specific topic. This week we talk about when things have gone totally wrong for us.. among other things.

I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to steal half an hour with Klim, commercial director for Globaltic charcoal.
Klim took time out of his working day to chat the benefits of Birch charcoal, his time in the UK, additives & binders... we even touch on the famous deep fried Mars bar.
Also my first international podcast as this was recorded from Moscow!
This is the second of two bonus episodes this week as a thank you for your early support and also to launch an ongoing sponsorship with Globaltic as they support the ongoing growth of the podcast.
As a little extra treat this week I'm releasing this episode early. Partly because I enjoyed it so much it was hard to sit on it and secondly in celebration of all the good work Jay is doing in bringing people together, making a difference and making himself a prominent figure using social media to keep the business ticking over throughout lockdown.
We talk about his experience, his ideas and some of the real good he has done in and around his local community - all with BBQ at the heart of it all.
No pod with Jay would be complete without talking... Restaurant Roulette!!!!!
I'm excited to share this one as last week I sat down for a chat with Alasdair from Sosij, a company that specialises in hand made, high quality and ethically sourced sausages based near Bath, UK.
We chat his experience as a chef, his outlook on produce, keeping his sausage unique and some of the amazing idea's he has coming up and his other ventures. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it... It's a banger!!!
This week I'm joined by Neil from www.NeilClifton.com. During the pod we had an awesome time talking about beginnings in BBQ & competitive cooking, food photography, Keith Floyd, travel & the mysterious... secret bread!... we really do put the world to rights.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and encourage you to check out the website. The food not only looks beautiful but there are some incredible, accessible recipes for you to try at home!
Instagram: @the_neil_clifton
For my first episode I sit down with my old friend (and burger rival!) Craig Osborne (@Ozzyldn) to talk produce. Specifically we get to the nitty gritty on meat.
From the perfect burger debate, how we met at a burger competition in London, his history in the trade to some useful hints, tips and jargon busting we try to get it all in.
Needless to say this one is going to spawn a few more episodes on it's own merit!
