About Talking Hospitality podcast

Talking Hospitality is an independent UK hospitality podcast for experienced leaders and professionals who want informed conversation, practical insight and useful answers to the issues shaping the industry. Led by Timothy R Andrews, the podcast brings together people who know hospitality from the inside, including operators, founders, people leaders, chefs, educators and specialists from across hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars and foodservice. Episodes explore leadership, people and culture, recruitment and retention, learning and development, mental health and wellbeing, operations, technology, sustainability and the commercial realities of running hospitality businesses and teams. We do not stop at explaining what is wrong. Every conversation considers what employers, leaders and individuals can actually do next. Whether you run a business, lead a team or contribute to hospitality in another way, Talking Hospitality offers thoughtful challenge, lived experience and practical ideas you can use.
