Leigh Hart and Matt Ward are back with another episode of Paid To Talk, your weekly hard-hitting comedy podcast packed with nonsense and questionable chat.

This week, we’ve got celebrity chef and all-round good bastard Al Brown in for a chat. You’ll know him from his countless TV shows, cookbooks, great eateries like Depot, Best Ugly Bagels, his condiments (Producer note: Ok no more plugging, we do enough of that in the episode). We have a great chat about the future of the hospitality industry, why this country produces such incredible dishes, plus we veer into hangover cures and it somehow ends up with Leigh and Al on either side of the Korean border...
