Beer tent special – LIVE at The Billing Off Road Show

In the first ever live-recorded episode of The LRM Podcast, Land Rover Monthly's Martin Domoney and Steve Miller take to the infamous Salmon Sofa to chat to a roster of no less than six special guests inside the beer tent of the Billing Off Road Show.

Kicking off with the confessions of TV's Jimmy De Ville, the guys chat adventures in the Pyrenees, unwittingly smashing up a Series I and the inspiration behind Jimmy's amazing design and fabrication work that makes overlanding in a Defender 90 doable.

Next up is Defender Lexi, a name and face you may well be familiar with from her adventures on Instagram. Lexi talks getting pulled over by the police, her ever-growing collection of project Land Rovers and surviving the mud run at The Billing Off Road show – check out her socials @defender.lexi

Finally for the Saturday, Mat Allcroft (aka Fitter Mat) brings with him his unique blend of wit and hatred for certain automotive engineers which you've no doubt seen him display across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok – @matallcroft13 and @fitter.mat

Sunday kicks off with an update from Defender Lexi – she fixes her Defender and then promptly breaks it again on the off-road course, but gets it together just in time to head home.

Next onto the sofa, a man whose Defender 110 overlander has previously graced the cover of Land Rover Monthly, Jack Watson, aka @Boris_the_Defender. Jack explains the development of his 110 hard top camper, working with Land Rover-based companies and trying to go on adventures without his dog being sick on him.

Zach Sheppard is next to grace the salmony goodness, also known as @scout_the_defender – he gives the lowdown on his very cool 90 that he's modified in a way that's very different to the 110 that he's seen with at events, most often on the Oak Ridge Engineering stand alongside Jack. He also imparts a geeky fact about different metallic black paints as used on Land Rovers...

Finally, a YouTuber who's not afraid to show some of the struggles of working on Land Rovers, Dale Reubin joins the boys on the sofa. From inspiring Martin to try and retrim a seat to wresting a headlining, Dale's approach to sharing his DIY adventures is truly refreshing and it was a treat to meet him and get his take on the show and admire his colour co-ordinated trousers. Check out his work on YouTube and Instagram @DaleReubin
