The Moon Under Water returns with a brand new host as Robbie Knox takes over as landlord of everyone’s favourite pub-based podcast.

Robbie has been producing content for his own channels and beyond as a writer, director, YouTuber and co-host of JaackMaate’s Happy Hour for over X years, and now his attentions are turned to breathing a new lease of life into the pub of the mind.

Rosie Holt, Lloyd Griffiths, Robin Ince and Tim Lovejoy are amongst the first names to join Robbie on the show, with plenty of other names from the world of comedy, music, food and television set to follow.

Earlier this year, after over four million listens and over 100 episodes, award-winning comedian John Robins took the decision to step down as presenter of the podcast of his own creation.

But now John is passing the mantle onto Robbie, who takes over hosting duties of The Moon Under Water alongside friend and Taskmaster producer, Dan Trelfer.

The popular show will be returning to twice weekly releases, as the familiar interview-led format returns alongside a listener-focussed bonus episode later in the week.

Robbie comments: “Since I appeared on the show as a guest, The Moon Under Water has been one of my favourite podcasts, so I’m delighted to be taking over. I can’t wait to start releasing episodes and I look forward to the deluge of social media posts from people telling me how much they preferred John.”

The Moon Under Water is part of the Audio Always Originals network alongside podcasts including Help I Sexted My Boss with Jordan North and William Hanson, Secret Mum Club with Sophiena and the freshly launched Worst Case Scenario with Abi Clarke and Julia Stenton. The podcast will be available for commercial opportunities via Acast.

The new series of The Moon Under Water launches on the 11th August and is available via all major podcasting platforms worldwide. The podcast releases weekly on Monday and Thursday.
