We are Words and Whiskey, and this is not your grandfather's podcast. We discuss works of fiction, drink our favorite drinks, and can be found swearing profoundly throughout any episode. We have a pretty good time, too. We started this as a project to encourage PJ to read more (he hadn't seriously committed to a book since high school), and deepen Krossland's understanding of why he loves fiction in the first place. We also hope it encourages others to join in, follow along, and probably make fun of our opinions too. We also love to drink, make cocktails, and brew our own beer; this happens to be an excellent place to talk about alcohol. We hope you enjoy stepping into our dark oak library, pouring a snifter of whiskey, and listening to us have a chat.

    Ivy Insights

    The Words And Whiskey podcast is a must-listen for any book lover and whisky enthusiast. Hosted by Kross and PJ, this podcast offers a delightful blend of hilarious banter, insightful analysis, and passionate discussions about books. Currently focused on the Red Rising series, their in-depth coverage is unparalleled and is a treasure trove for fans of the saga. As someone who enjoys both words and whisky, this podcast hits all the right notes.

    One of the best aspects of The Words And Whiskey podcast is the chemistry between Kross and PJ. Their friendly dynamic makes it feel like you're listening to two friends having a conversation at a bar. Their passion for literature shines through in every episode, and their in-depth analysis provides fresh perspectives even for seasoned readers. Additionally, their incorporation of whisky into the show adds a unique touch, creating a cozy atmosphere that enhances the overall listening experience.

    Furthermore, The Words And Whiskey podcast consistently brings on great guests who contribute to the engaging discussions. The addition of these guests adds variety and diversity to the show, allowing for different viewpoints and insights. It's always exciting to hear from new voices and see how they interact with Kross and PJ.

    However, one potential downside of the podcast is that it can occasionally veer off on tangents or go on side conversations that may not be directly related to the topic at hand. While these moments can be entertaining, they might detract from the overall flow of the episode or confuse listeners who are looking for focused discussions on specific books or themes.

    In conclusion, The Words And Whiskey podcast is an absolute gem for book lovers and whisky enthusiasts alike. With its delightful blend of humor, insightfulness, and passion for literature, this show offers an enjoyable listening experience that feels like hanging out with friends at a bar. Whether you're a fan of Red Rising or simply interested in well-crafted conversations about books, this podcast delivers on all fronts. Cheers to Kross and PJ for creating a podcast that truly celebrates the joy of words and whisky!

We also get some exclusive thoughts about new projects coming down the pipe... including something fun with Red Rising.

This is a unique episode is the way that it is also the first episode that we've recorded on video. We'll be sharing that early next week, so that you can get excellent looks at each of the prints that he shared within the conversation, and more.
