  • Otherwise great

    The theme song makes me want to kill my family. I eventually set my player (Overcast) to skip the intro and outro so that I don’t have to hear it a anymore.

  • Poor Mic Quality

    Sother and Greg! Please invest in some quality microphones and recording/podcasting equipment. I started listening to the show many years ago but you guys have not evolved technically with the rest of the podcast world. Content is great but it’s painful to listen to such horrible audio quality. Greg especially- it sounds like you’re calling in from a pay phone inside a very large hollow room. I understand you stopped recording in person from Roberta’s when the pandemic hit, but that was four yea... more

  • I love this show

    It’s so fun to hear bartenders I’ve been a fan of chat. Haven’t tried the mountain Suze yet— weirdly, I can’t find Mountain Dew easily here in boston either?? And I just didn’t try as hard— but I did end up dusting off the Suze bottle at the back of my shelf & remembering how good it is on its own! Honestly this podcast gives me way too many ideas about what to try. #I❤️SE

Q: How does this happen? What's the sort of mechanism behind the notion of resurrecting a 100-year-old magazine?
It's kind of like, with Sother, he's an author, but you're an author on a more regular schedule.

I believe my brand will have a significant impact on how distillers engage with agriculture, promoting sustainability and community connection.
