A Tribute To Susanna Forbes of Little Pomona

Join Gabe Cook, Martyn Goodwin-Sharman, Grant
Hutchison and Producer Scott, for this special episode
of the Neutral Cider Hotel, a tribute to Susanna Forbes of Little
Pomona.


A dear friend of the pod, Susanna Forbes, recently passed away.
Susanna was one half of the legendary Little Pomona Orchard
& Cidery, alongside her wonderful husband, James. Our
hearts, like all who knew her, are broken, and we send our love
to James during this difficult time.


In our grief, we wanted to pay tribute to Susanna and hear her
charm wit and laughter once more. So, we compiled all three
appearances that Susanna and James made on the podcast and put
them together in this special episode.


We’ll start the show by sharing our thoughts on Susanna and what
a legend she is. Then we dive into the interviews.


The first interview is from August 2023, when Producer Scott
traveled to Herefordshire for Gabe’s wedding celebration and
spent a day eating, drinking, bottling, and catching up with
Susanna and James.


After that, we go back to their second appearance on the pod in
March 2021, when Susanna and James brought several ciders for us
to taste, along with their assistant cider maker, Blair.


Finally, you’ll hear our very first interview from our very first
episode of the Neutral Cider Hotel way back in October 2020. The
audio quality for the guys is poor because they had some
recording issues (and Producer Scott still loses sleep over it),
but James and Susanna’s audio sounds fantastic, and that’s what
really matters.


We hope you enjoy these conversations as much as we do, and
thanks, as always, for listening and supporting the
podcast.

Susanna - We miss you, we love you and the world feels a bit
emptier without you. Wassail ️
