Frequently Asked Questions

How can I listen to Garlic & Pearls without hearing adverts?

For step-by-step instructions on how to sign up for the Garlic & Pearls Salon and set up your app for ad-free listening and bonus episodes, CLICK HERE
How can I get a free Garlic & Pearls tea towel?
Join the Garlic & Pearls Salon as an annual subscriber. Not only will you save money over the year compared with monthly payments, we will send you one of our beautiful and exclusive tea towels, designed in London and manufactured in Lincolnshire. 
Is Apple Premium the same as the G&P Salon?
No.  Both schemes offer ad-free listening and bonus episodes, but there are differences. The Apple Premium scheme is run by Apple and personal details such as name and email address are not passed to us at Garlic & Pearls, so we cannot send out our newsletter to those subscribers.  Also, there is no annual subscription to the Apple Premium scheme, only monthly, and no chance to get a free G&P tea towel.

The Apple Premium scheme is the simplest way for Apple users to listen ad-free and hear our bonus episodes and payments are taken by Apple.  Joining the G&P Salon takes a few more steps to set up.

Apple takes a large portion of the subscription fee, which is why it is more expensive.

If you would like to save money and switch from Apple Premium to the G&P Salon don't forget to cancel your Apple Premium subscription through Apple Podcasts and CLICK HERE to join the G&P Salon. 
When I join the G&P Salon, how do I get my tea towel?

When you join the G&P Salon as an annual subscriber, we will email you to ask for your address so we can post your tea towel to you.  Please look out for our email and remember to check your junk/spam folder.
