4.8 out of 5 stars from 138 ratings
  • Great conversations

    I really like the structure of the show. They open by trying a whiskey (or other booze), which is interesting and also helps to loosen up the guest and create a natural rapport before diving into technical topics. The hosts are great at keeping the conversation engaging and weaving information about their hosts and other tidbits into the discussion, so it never feels dry. Great listen!
