A dear friend of the pod, Susanna recently passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer. 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 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.
Susanna - We miss you, we love you and the world feels a bit emptier without you. Wassail ❤️
