🎙️The 2022 Hospitality Meets Christmas Special is Live!🎉🥳🎅🎄
Another year passes us by and just as we thought we were leaving all the drama that the last two years brought us, 2022 decided that it wanted some of the action too with a brand new set of challenges.
It therefore felt appropriate to bring you a brief moment of joy at the most wonderful time of the year with some brand new tales of Christmas past and more previous guests from our 120+ conversations so far, alongside those two legends Chris Fletcher & Kieron Bailey, who always bring the fun.
We've got Mark Kirby, Mitchell Collier, Chris Wayne-Wills, Jane Sunley, Ioannis Pantelidis, Paul Spencer and Bex McKeown, all reminding us of the madness that happens at this time of year through their stories involving gambling with people's bills, unwanted house guests, multiple personality Santa's, mutinous guests, offering food to rival hotels, Christmas lust, overbookings, life sized gingerbread houses, misdelivered gifts, reservation diary nightmares and even chefs on fire.
A huge thank you to all our guests for bringing their A game on the fun and I hope it brings you brief moment of joy in what has been another challenging year.
Merry Christmas one and all.

Hospitality Meets Trailer
Trailer reboot Alert!
With over 60 episodes under our belt now (😳) I thought it was high time I rebooted the show’s trailer.
Have a listen, I’d love your feedback. You know I love an intro.
I think I’ve been successful in moving my voice from unexcited Andy Murray to mildly amused Andy Murray. You know what they say, small change done consistently leads to big change. Soon I’ll sound like @grahnort 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
