Hello and welcome to To The Regiment (apologies for the slight delay this week).
In this episode we got some questions from you, the listeners, from Twitter/X, Facebook, and Instagram. Some we may have covered but we cover in more detail or some Ben had just missed.
We will be doing this again soon because these questions came in before we even released the first episode (we think). And our fan base has certainly grown.
Thank you again for all your support and I promise we will be going on the Big Boy's Beano next time.

Hello and welcome to To The Regiment, the Early Doors podcast with Phil Mealey.
In this episode we're back looking at each episode getting the inside look with Phil. The Grapes itself in this episode is a completely different place. For one, it's packed. But it's a Friday night, Joe and Duffy are standing at the bar (and we discover why), Winnie is in with her husband, Tommy is in the same seat, and there's much more drinking.
We also see a very wet James McAvoy who apparently ruined Ibiza.
Thank you as always for listening, telling your friends, and your support.
Listen out for a special guest at the end.
