We are Words and Whiskey, your new intoxicating weekly book club. This project began during the doldrums of 2020 as a way for Krossland and PJ to explore fiction that his co-host knew he'd enjoy. We also hope it encourages others to join in, follow along, and probably make fun of our opinions too. We also adore the craft of alcohol, and craft alcohol. Alcohol craft? We hope you enjoy stepping into... more

  • Great Podcast

    This show is making me read these books so fast. Already finished the first two and keep grinding away every knight. Started with The Blade Itself and trying to get caught up but not sure if I will. I really enjoy their insight and the recipes on the website. Keep up the great work.

  • Great for a Red Rising review!

    Got to the fifth book of the Red Rising series (Dark Age) and was so desperate to discuss, I decided to find a matching podcast so I could at the very least listen to others talking about it!

    Started at your first episode — which made for a lovely review of the whole series. Thank you for your company as I now read through Lightbringer! 😀

  • Incredible read along podcast

    As they mentioned at the end of the ‘Dark Age’ reread somehow Kross never spoiled anything for PJ. A perfect companion podcast I started with the Red Rising series and will even check out other books they read as I love their conversations and insight.

    Love the drink recommendations too

    Just a great all around podcast

  • Amazing content

    Just binged all the red rising episodes. Just started Mistborn. Can’t wait for Abercrombie! 3 of my all time favorite Trilogies. May have to jump into Jade Legacy once I catch up (never read). Looking forward to Light Bringer. You guys are a great hang. Keep it up!

  • Lightbringer?!?

    Ahh guys, cmon! You started a podcast about the Red Rising Series and there’s a new book out. How am I supposed to read along without the pod? Not even a reaction update show to explain the plans for Lightbringer?

Best Served Cold | Part VII: Talins | Thus the Whirligig... - Happy Endings
Q: Do you think he truly deserves the accolades that he's being given now?
I tend to believe his rap sheet as far as who he's successfully murdered goes. I think he deserves the term master poisoner and maybe deserves all of these accolades, but there's a little bit of exaggeration in his portfolio.

Q: How do you feel about the cliffhanger?
Fucking cliffhanger, man. Oh, that was mean.
Episode 200 - Variety Hour(s)!
