ABOUT THE PODCAST

The Gavel and The Gabble is a podcast hosted by Harry and Simon who, together, are lucky enough to run two provincial Auction Houses in Windsor, Berkshire and Seaton, Devon.

Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found.

Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.

The debate between live in person auctions and timed online sales rages on. Harry and Simon are joined by Richard Worrall, seasoned auctioneer and former NAVA president, as he responds to Simon's recent praise of timed online auctions. This one may have been a set up by Harry to ambush Simon with an actual expert, so be kind to him in the comments.
