Welcome back to Cheers with Nat – the podcast dedicated to cheering on women in drinks.

When I (re)launched this show back in March 2026, the idea was to have conversations that made us all feel connected, celebrated, cheered up, and cheered on. (So, I hope you'd agree you feel that way when listening!)

Importantly though, I didn't want those feelings to end after each episode. My vision for Cheers with Nat has always been to keep cheering people on… so that's what we're going to do in this episode!

To wrap up Season 1, we'll hear from each guest – some in their own words – about what they've been up to since we recorded, as there's always something to celebrate.

Please note that there won't be any new episodes of Cheers with Nat for the rest of summer, but I'll be busy recording for Season 2, which will launch in September 2026.

I'll also be enjoying a bit of time off, and I welcome you to keep up with my adventures! (I'll be interrailing through Germany with my partner, Nigel, and will be sharing lots of updates on my Instagram, @cheers_with_nat)

In the meantime, please do continue to spread the word about the show… and be sure to tag me in your posts, as I'd love to know who is listening!

I also welcome any guest suggestions for future episodes. Of if you're part of a business or brand that might be interested in sponsoring a season or a dedicated mini-series, please get in touch via cheers@beerwithnat.com.

Thanks, as always, for listening, have a lovely summer, and chat soon. Cheers!
