Maple Menntal Health

On this weeks episode, I am talking about something very serious, something kind of silly, and some music with substance. First off, my journey in to the world of mental health has begun after being diagnosed with anxiety and panic attacks. Then I get into something very New England, Maple Whiskies. And finally, an oh shit moment for me, and the book and music that has been a huge help through the beginning of this mental health journey. Its the music of David Byrne and The Talking Heads. This episode is alot, but it might be the one I am the most proud of. If you like what I am doing here, go to the podcast page, click the follow button and give it a rating.

Overrated Underrated

This week I got to do one of the things I really enjoy doing, and that is talk about music. So I got my friend Glen to join me, and we tasted a bunch of Bottled in Bond Bourbons and talked about bands, deciding if they were overrated, underrated, or rated perfectly. Its only our opinions, and not a declaration of fact, so listen for yourself.

Not For Everybody

This episode ended up being a much more important one to me than I thought it would. It's a second recording of me talking about Amaros and Bitter Liqueurs that almost became a third recording. But after doubting myself, I finally accepted what I had done, which is pair Amaros with Elvis Costello songs. It may not be for everyone, but it is me. If it's not for you, I get it.

A Journalistic Approach

Every time I think I'm done talking about Tequilla, the gift that keeps on giving gives again. So this week, after a couple big announcements happened, I took a bit more of a journalistic approach , and tried to stay away from my usual outbursts. It ended being an episode that I am proud of for sure.

Movies and Gin

After talking about Tequilla and trolling people on Instagram, I decided I wanted to switch it up this week. And with the weather being so nice, I started to feel like Gin season was upon us. So this week, I'm tasting some gins and talking about a few movies that I have watched lately. 1 was uplifting, 1 was emotional, and one was a completely WTF moment. Turned out to be a fun episode.

Lui Lui

This is the episode I didn't expect to do, but I think I always needed to. When I heard someone say recently that Vodka has no purpose, shouldn't exist, and is a waste of Agave when it's used to make it, I took that as inspiration. So this week I am talking about the point and purpose of vodka, while defending it's use. I really enjoyed this one.
