This week we take a look back at the past five years of Chandler's time in New York City—post-COVID edition. From surviving lockdown to navigating the chaos of a city that never sleeps (but definitely naps), we're cracking jokes, sharing stories, and asking: Was That In Good Taste?

This week, Just Call Me James and Chandler Phillips dive headfirst into the neon-soaked, chaotic world of Hyperpop—the genre that's as addictive as it is polarizing. Is it the sound of late-stage capitalism, a queer counter-culture revolution, or just musical chaos? Let's find out.

This week on Was That In Good Taste, we're diving into the crossover of cultures, fandom, and appreciation with "White People & Wu-Tang."

What if your perception of reality isn't as clear as you think? This week, we take a deep dive into the idea of altered states—how they shape our experiences, challenge our understanding of the world, and why so many people seek them out. From questioning the structures that define our daily lives to exploring ways we can shift our perspectives, this episode is all about stepping outside the norm—sometimes in unexpected ways. Plus, we're still keeping it Dry January, but that doesn't mean we're not exploring new ways to open our minds. Sit back, tune in, and let's talk about the boundaries of perception, creativity, and the human experience.

This week on Behind the Bar, we're continuing our Dry January journey by diving back into the world of cannabis-infused beverages! In this episode, we explore the idea of being "California Sober"—cutting out alcohol but embracing alternatives like cannabis—and reflect on how it fits into modern drinking culture. Our featured drink is TBD Green Tea Lemonade (Intense 25/25), a refreshing and potent blend with 25mg of THC and 25mg of CBD per can. We break down its flavor, the effects, and how it compares to other cannabis drinks we've tried. Whether you're curious about going California Sober or just want to hear our take on this unique beverage, you won't want to miss this one.

we're diving into The Pod Bro Problem. From Joe Rogan to the endless sea of "bro-y" podcasts that dominate the airwaves, we're dissecting what makes the "Pod Bro" archetype so popular, yet so problematic.

Grab a NA drink, tune in, and let's talk about breaking the podcasting echo chamber. Follow us:.
