E35 - The Bomb Squad & The Yorkshire Auctioneer - with Angus Ashworth

He’s at it again, Simon has fallen in love with another item up for sale, this time a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust. He’s been told he can’t have it so to make up for that disappointment we’ve got a fantastic guest for you this week. Owner of Ryedale Auctioneers, Angus Ashworth, also known as The Yorkshire Auctioneer, is on the pod to chat about taking to the rostrum at 16, his time as a Mayor, telly work on Antiques Road Trip, and why the bomb squad turned up at his auction house.

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.
