Nostra Terra Oil and Gas Company PLC CEO Paul Welch talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strategy to scale up production and drive growth from its existing base of operations in East Texas and West Texas. Welch explained that Nostra Terra is currently focused on the Pine Mills field, a long-life, shallow onshore field with low operating costs and consistent profitability. “It's been an exciting field for the last 75 years and we expect it to be an exciting field for the program for the next 20 to 30 as well,” he said. Since taking over as CEO around nine months ago, Welch has led the company to profitability by cutting costs and increasing production. He highlighted two successful well workover programs that have effectively doubled production. A key highlight is the Fouke area, where new drilling, including the upcoming Fouke-3 well, could deliver significant volumes. Welch pointed out that these wells can initially produce around 120 barrels per day—compared to the average of 6 to 10 barrels from the Pine Mills wells. If enhanced recovery schemes are implemented, the output could potentially double. Welch reaffirmed the company's ambitious growth target: “This is a company that's going to be making 5,000 barrels a day in the next 3 to 5 years.” The focus remains on building from a solid, profitable base, with production costs in the Fouke area as low as $3 to $4 per barrel, ensuring resilience across various oil price environments. Watch the full interview to hear more on the outlook for 2025, drilling plans, and the strategic path forward. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Today, we sit down with Bishop W.C. Martin, whose story inspired the movie Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot. Alongside his wife, Donna, and 22 families in their small East Texas church, they adopted 77 children from the foster care system, sparking a movement of faith and action.Bishop Martin shares why adoption is God's work and why every community needs its own Possum Trot. While not everyone is called to foster or adopt, he emphasizes that everyone can support in some way. “If people in Possum Trot can do it with nothing, then there's no excuse for others to say they can't.”This episode is a powerful reminder that faith and community can transform lives. Join us as we discuss how we can all play a role in giving children the love and stability they deserve.Episode Highlights: Meet Bishop W.C.

Penny and Raj bring Sheldon out into the World of Sex.By baranbrat. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.(This episode includes first time & group sex)Raj & Penny shared two bottles of wine and commiserated over their disappointing love lives. The evening led to a bedroom romp with Sheldon hearing every sound from his bedroom. He complained to Amy, in an online chat, but he was clueless of just how smitten his libido was, and he was being further drawn in to the unfolding sex scene.Raj scooted up on the bed and Penny rested her beautiful head on his dark skinned chest. He looked over in the mirror and he felt his cock stiffen again.“What a sight to see, Penny's flushed face & long straight flaxen blonde hair covered half of my bare bronzed chest,” Raj said proudly, as he had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming.He leaned down and planted a soft kiss on the top of her head.She smiled up at him and covered his mouth with her own and it was a tender kiss. Slowly tongues came out and danced from one mouth to the other. As the kiss grew more passionate, Penny's hand drifted down and she gripped Raj's cock in her long slim fingers. She stroked it up and down and when Raj rolled over on top of her she guided his thick, stiff cock to the entrance to her waiting pussy."Oh god, yes Raj, fuck my little pussy! Fuck it deep, yes, oh god yes, deeper, faster, faster. Oh my god you feel so fucking good in my cunt Raj!"Raj picked up the pace and now totally buried in her tight pussy, he fought hard not to cum too soon in this incredible pussy. He changed pace and slid from up and down, to side to side and it brought Penny to yet another orgasmPenny was constantly yelling out for Raj to fuck her harder and faster and Sheldon couldn't take any more of that yelling. He climbed out his window onto the wide concrete ledge and over to Leonard's window. He was about to knock on the pane of glass when he stopped and stared, open-mouthed, at the scene on Leonard's bed. Suddenly as Penny rode cowgirl on Raj's shaft, Sheldon felt a stirring in his loins and he could feel his long thick cock growing in his pajamas.Raj had rolled Penny over and she was now on top of Raj's dark muscular body. Her long slim thighs were clutching at his waist and she as she rose and fell, Sheldon's watched from just next to the headboard, as Raj's thick shiny, cum coated cock driving in and out of Penny's foaming pussy.Her eyes were closed as her large tits bounced and swayed up and down and from side to side. Sheldon let out a tiny gasp when he saw Raj's hands come up and began to maul those two gorgeous mounds of flesh.She was nearing yet another orgasm as her head tossed about, her long silky blonde hair flew about her upper body making her look ever-more desirable.Without noticing what he was going, Sheldon's cock had popped out of his pajama bottoms and was standing straight out. Kneeling tall, He continued to watch Penny and Raj fuck and his hand came down and began stroking his huge cock. His hand slid up and down at lightning speed as Penny slammed her lush body down faster and faster on Raj's cock.Suddenly Penny stiffened and she yelled out; Oh yes! Raj, fill my aching cunt with your cum, shoot it deep and fill my womb with your hot Indian cum!"When Sheldon saw and heard this, he lost it too; and started shooting his heavy load all over Leonard's bedroom window. He let out a loud deep grunt, and when he did, Penny and Raj quickly looked at the window.Penny yelled out; "What the fuck, Sheldon!" She suddenly stopped talking when her eyes took in the huge piece of meat in Sheldon's hand."Get your ass in here, Sheldon! You could fall and kill yourself," she ordered.He was totally flustered, but managed to stuff his semi-erect cock back in his pajamas, and opening the window, climbed in and just stood there staring at the naked couple, still connected by Raj's stiff pole,"Uh sorry, Penny, but I never seen two people having coitus before.""My god, Sheldon, you just came all over the window watching Raj and me. Can't you call it what it is, We were fucking! We're going to start again and if you drop those pajama bottoms and come over here, maybe I'll suck your cock while Raj fucks me again!""Oh no, Penny, I couldn't do that!"He ran to the door and opened it, but didn't leave. He just stood there while Penny rolled halfway off of Raj and lifting her upper thigh flashed Sheldon her oozing pussy and Raj's thick cock covered in his and her cum juices. She reached down to Raj's semi-flaccid cock and stroked it several times, it came back to life. "My god, Raj, don't you ever quit?" Penny declared with delight.He smiled; "With a woman as beautiful and as sexy as you are, it isn't hard staying hard!""Ah ha, I get it, staying hard, good one Raj. Now stuff that fucking cock back in my pussy and fuck me good and hard from behind. After seeing Sheldon's huge cock, it got me all hot and horny again!" Penny was on hands and knees while Raj pivoted around her ass and penetrated. His long arms reached forward to grab her pendulous swaying tits.Sheldon just stood there near the open door, not knowing what to do, but as Penny started moaning and watching Raj play with her firm tits, his cock started to betray him again and it was soon making a large tent out of his pajama bottoms."Come on Sheldon; get your ass over to the edge of the bed on my side!"Reluctantly, he slowly slipped over to the bed and he jumped half a foot when Penny suddenly reached out and yanked his pants down."Oh my god, Sheldon, you're fucking huge!"He giggled; Well Penny, they make everything bigger in East Texas, bazinga!"Raj continued to slide in and out of Penny's pussy from behind as she reached out and began stroking Sheldon's cock. Without a doubt it had to be perhaps twelve inches, and when she wrapped her hand around it, her fingers didn't touch. She wanted desperately to shove that monster in her mouth, but was afraid he'd rip her tonsils out. She leaned forward and ran her tongue around and around the huge mushroom-like head and it jumped. A drop of pre-cum oozed out.Penny greedily lapped the drop up, and it excited her even more. Opening her mouth, her lips stretched to the max, she was able to take about five inches in before he hit the back of her throat. She pulled her mouth off his cock and she was drooling all over his cock. She swiped the huge piece of meat across her lips and cheek; "Oh my god, Sheldon; with a cock this big, why the fuck aren't you using it. I know several women who would die to get their lips and pussies wrapped around it!""Sorry, Penny; that consists of touching and you know how much I hate having anyone touching me!""Ah ha, Sheldon; it looks like I'm touching you right now and you seem to like it!""Penny, don't confuse me. I know what I said and I know that what you are doing feels different, but I'm still not convinced it's what I want.""Well Sheldon, let me convince you! Oh god, Raj; yes just like that, fuck me slow and deep while I get Sheldon all hot and bothered!"She shook her long blonde hair and it swayed back and forth across Sheldon's stiff cock. Her hand slid slowly up and down the thick shaft and her mouth followed. Her tongue swiped up and down the shaft several times and when she lifted her mouth his entire cock was shiny and dripping with her saliva. She continued to stroke the shaft and as Raj picked up the pace, fucking her from behind, so did Penny, stroking Sheldon's cock."Oh Penny, what are you doing to me! I feel like my insides are being torn out, I don't like that!"She giggled; "Just you wait, sweetie; when you cum you're going to feel completely different!"She picked up the pace and so did Raj; and soon all three of them were groaning.Sheldon was first; "Oh my, I know what you mean now, Penny! With that he started cumming, he came buckets, covering Penny's face, chest and arm.This triggered an orgasm in her loins and as she covered Raj's cock with her hot cum, he also let go, filling Penny's hot cunt with his creamy Indian cum.Sheldon, unable to stand; pushed Penny further back on the bed and collapsed besides her.Penny draped an arm across Sheldon, her large stiff nipples tits pressed against his back and he snuggled with his back towards her. "Ah look Raj, Sheldon's maintaining human contact!"Sheldon turned his head; "Well okay, Penny; but no kissing, I don't like kissing, too many germs!"Let me get this straight Sheldon, I can put your cock in my mouth and suck you off where you pee from, but you won't kiss me?"That's right, Missy; especially after you had my penis in your mouth!""Before the night is over Sheldon, I guarantee I'll have you eating my pussy!" Penny rolled to her back, pulling Sheldon with her. Raj, having spent another load in Penny's luscious cunt, had laid his back down on her other side.He shook his head; "Oh, I doubt that!"Just then, Amy Farrah Fowler came rushing into the open room and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw  the gloriously naked Penny laid out between equally naked men; stroking both Raj's cum coated cock and Sheldon's monstrous cock."Oh my, Bestie; what are you doing to my boyfriend?"Sheldon jumped up, his cock bobbing up and down making Amy let out a; "Woo!""I am not your boyfriend, Amy. I am a boy and you are my friend, but I am not your boyfriend!"Penny looked up at him; "Really, Sheldon; that's all you can say to Amy now? I'm here, naked; stroking your cock and all you can say is Amy isn't your girlfriend!"Amy looked down at Sheldon's huge cock and looking over at Raj took a deep breath; "Woo!"Sheldon looked at her; "Amy, what are you doing here at this hour?""Sheldon, we were communicating about all the noise Penny and Raj were making, and suddenly you went off the grid. I got concerned and rushed over to see if you were alright."Penny sat up, her large tits stared directly at Amy; "Ah, Sheldon, see she was concerned, that's what a girlfriend does!""Once again she is my friend and she is a girl, but she is not my girlfriend!"Raj knelt up and reaching out took a hold of Amy's hand; "Amy Farrah Fowler, would you like to join us?"She licked her lips and stared at his large swollen cock totally covered in Penny's pussy juices; "Woo!"Raj slid to the edge of the bed and took her large handbag and placed it on the floor. He reached up and removed her large rimmed glasses; "I always wondered how you looked under these glasses. Just as I suspected, your eyes are very pretty."Raj reached up and undid the large clasp holding her long dark brown hair back. He combed his fingers through it and draped it over her shoulders. "See Amy you already look very appealing!"He slowly unbuttoned her sweater and began on her high collared blouse. Leaning forward he placed tiny kisses on her neck and as her blouse came unbuttoned his face followed the open blouse, placing tiny kisses down her chest.Amy's breathing was becoming more labored as Raj slipped the blouse and sweater off her shoulders and it fell to the floor. She was wearing a simple cotton bra and Raj quickly unhooked that and drawing it off her shoulders was pleasantly surprised on just how full and firm her tits were. These twin beauties were kept locked up and covered for way too long. Her nipples were teardrop and her areoles were a bright pink. They were just a bit more than a handful, but a good B size Raj thought.Raj leaned forward and took one upturned nipple in-between his dark lips and drawing it into his mouth he lapped at it with his tongue.Amy let out another; "Woo, Woo, Woo!" She crushed his face against her tit and he continued his assault on first one and then the other tit.Penny climbed out of the bed and headed for the bathroom to clean-up and get ready for the next round of fucking, at least she hoped for another round, she was still horny and watching Raj and Amy got her turned on again.Back in the bedroom, Raj now had Amy on her back and had removed her thick corduroy skirt. He pulled at her thick black tights and they came off, along with her cotton panties.Once again Raj was pleasantly surprised by Amy full, but shapely legs. They were in no way in the same class as Penny's but for the dumpy looking nerd, now naked before him, she looked rather appealing. One obstacle was her rather large growth of hair around her pussyRaj ran his fingers through her thick growth and finding her wet lips slipped a finger into her pussy.Amy once again let out a burst of Woo's and rolled her head from side to side on the bed.Penny came back into the room, once again looking like a million bucks, her make-up repaired and her hair once again brushed, looking as sexy as ever. Slipped onto the bed and took a spot between Amy and Sheldon."Oh Amy, you are just going to love the way Raj eats pussy. I think it's that Indian in him and all that Karma Sutra crap!"Raj looked up at Penny; "Oh Penny I think that is racist, but thank you!" He lowered his mouth and fishing through all that hair found her pussy. Spreading her lips he dove in and within seconds had Amy squirming and panting her way towards her first orgasm produced by someone other than herself.Penny watched Raj bringing Amy to her first real orgasm, her hand found Sheldon's stiff cock. She pushed his hand away as he was stroking his cock watching Raj eating Amy; "So Sheldon, are you ready for some pussy eating?""Oh no Penny, there is no way I'm putting my mouth down there where you go pee pee!"She laughed; "I guarantee before the night is over we will have you eating pussy!""I don't think so! Just look at Raj, his entire face is covered in her pee pee!""Sheldon, you didn't read the book Leonard and I gave you, did you? That isn't pee, it's her pussy juices, bluntly put, her cum!""Oh my, see your promiscuity does make you an expert on something!""Hey!""Penny it's a complement, take it that way! My lord there is no pleasing you is there?""Oh yes there is Sheldon. Are you ready to please me again?" She lowered her mouth and took the head of his cock into her mouth."Oh lord!" Sheldon threw his head back and now, for the first time began to play with her hair with one hand and his other hand reached down and cupped her tit.Amy now had Raj on his back and she tried to mimic Penny as she began sucking on Raj's cock.Soon the room was filled with both Raj and Sheldon moaning and groaning as they both raced towards another orgasm.On in the hallway Bernadette was knocking on Penny's door, but got no answer. Just then Leonard and Priya came up the stairs. Seeing Bernadette, Leonard spoke up; "Hi Bernadette, I got a text earlier from Raj saying Penny was in our place. Would you like to come in and see?"Speaking out in Howard's mother's voice said; "What do you think Leonard? Why would I come this far and not come over across the hall to find out?""Wow, Bernadette, where is this all coming from?"Back in her normal voice said; "I'm sorry Leonard, Howard and I just had another fight about Glenn and his huge, you know what!""That's okay Bernadette, come on in and let's see if Penny is here, okay?"She nodded and followed Priya and Leonard into the apartment. The living room was empty, but they all heard noises coming from down the hall.The three of them headed down the hall, past the bathroom and Sheldon's room and just before they entered Leonard's bedroom they heard Sheldon say; "Oh yes Penny suck my big cock nice and deep!"They burst into the room and Raj and Sheldon were nearly prone on the bed with both of their bellies and crotches covered with dark brown and blonde hair. They both had their eyes closed as Amy and Penny bobbed up and down on their stiff cocksLeonard cleared his throat and Sheldon and Raj opened their eyes. Neither Amy nor Penny heard them as they continued to suck and swallow their big shafts.Raj spoke up; "Oh hi Leonard, sis, Bernadette! Look Leonard, Amy and Penny are giving us blowjobs!""I can see that Raj, but why?""Who knows, but why fight it. I can't decide who the better cock sucker is. Penny is more experienced and really knows how to get a guy off, but Amy is inexperienced and is very enthusiastic! I know Penny fucks great, but haven't tried Amy yet to compare!"Leonard was getting upset; "You Fucked Penny?"Raj was smiling from ear to ear; "twice and I even came in her pussy once!"Priya was getting upset; "Why are you getting upset Leonard? Penny isn't your girlfriend any longer, I am, well at least I was!""It's just he's banging her in My bed Priya!""Oh so it's okay for you to, as you would say, Bang me, in Raj's bed, but he can't bang Penny in your bed?"In a quiet voice he said; "Well yeah!""Wrong answer there Leonard. She walked over to the edge of the bed and looked down at Sheldon from a better angle; "Oh my god Penny, that cock is unbelievable!"Penny popped her mouth off of it, saliva was dripping from her bee stung lips; "I know, isn't it incredible. It's such a shame that this huge cock is attached to such a crazy person.Sheldon looked down at the two completely different women; "Hey Penny, I resent that, I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested."Priya could feel her pussy begin to moisten; "Penny do you mind if I tried some of that?""No Priya give it your best shot. I was getting a little tired anyways. That cock is so thick; my jaw was starting to ache a little bit.""No problem Penny, knowing the Karma Sutra and things like that, in India we practice on large vegetables and even sacred cows to take large cocks down out tiny throats."Penny looked at Leonard, her eyes went wide and she mouthed the word "Wow!"Penny moved aside and bumped into Amy who was now on her back.Raj was between her thighs and just about to enter her cum covered cunt. The thick growth of hair was matted down with Raj's saliva and her own juices.Her legs came up and wrapped around Raj's dark muscled back and as he entered her, her mouth came open and a loud moan escaped; "Oh Penny I know why you fuck all those men, it is fantastic!""Hey, I don't fuck a lot of guys!""Yeah sure Bestie, keep telling yourself that! Now swing that pussy over here and let me lick you while Raj has his way with me!"Penny was shocked and a bolt of excitement coursed through her body at the same time. Without thinking it out she threw one shapely thigh over Amy's head and felt Amy's hands grab her hips and pull her down to her mouth.Penny let out a loud groan and squeezing her own tits, rolling her pussy up and down Amy's face.On the other side of the bed Priya had her pants off and knelt over Sheldon, her dark blue satin blouse was open and Sheldon was running his hands up and down her back urging her on as she licked and teased his cock.Priya rose up and tossed her blouse aside and her tight, petite dark body was hovering over that huge cock, dressed in a skimpy matching pair of black lace bra and panties.Leonard stood off to the side, he had removed his shirt and pants and his cock pushed against the silky boxers Priya had brought for him. He dropped his shorts and kicked them aside and as he stroked his cock, his eyes darted from Penny who was nearing an orgasm from Amy's tongue and then looking at his gorgeous dark haired beauty, stroking his so called best buddy and roommate, Sheldon.All of a sudden Bernadette came into view. She stepped in-between the bed and Leonard and taking a couple of short steps backwards came in contact with Leonard's sizeable cock. It bumped rather hard against her ample ass and she quickly pushed harder against him.Without thinking he wrapped his arms around her and drew her tightly against his body.Bernadette let out a squeal and began humping away at Leonard's cock.His hands came up and cupped her huge tits through her sweater and dress. His head came down and began to ravish her neck and ear.Bernadette went wild. She ripped off her sweater and tossed it aside. She took a couple of steps forward and placed her hands on the edge of the bed. Turning towards Leonard her mouth covered his. They swapped spit as his hands took fistfuls if her wavy long blonde hair and kissed her wildly.Breaking the kiss she groaned into his mouth; "Leonard, pull up my dress and fuck me. Fuck me doggy and fuck me good and hard. I need a cock in me that's bigger than my big toe!"Leonard could not believe how lucky he was. He had second thoughts about fucking Howard's fiancée but when she bent over the bed and threw her full skirt up and he stared at her gorgeous butt. Those short, but shapely legs were encased in opaque dark brown stocking that ended at mid-thigh and were held up by black garters, he threw all caution to the wind and pulling her lacy white panties to one side leaned forward and parting her tight lipped pussy, slipped his cock into her.In the Mrs. Wolowitz voice she screamed out; Come on Leonard, shove that big prick of yours in the blonde Catholic girl! Fuck me good and hard, make me cum like I need so bad to do. Oh fuck, watching Priya and Sheldon go at it is making me so fucking horny. I can't believe Amy is eating Penny! I want to try that next."Leonard held onto her garters as he pulled her against him as he drove forward.Bernie threw her head back, her long golden blonde curls danced on her shoulders and down her back.Leonard gathered her silky hair in his hands and pulling on them pulled her harder against him. He turned her head and shoved his tongue halfway into her mouth as she met his and kissed him back. Her glasses fell off and he stopped as he looked into her eyes; "My god Bernadette, your eyes are gorgeous! I never realized just how green and alluring they are!""Thank you Leonard, Howard never noticed them and it pisses me off, he's such a putz! Now stop talking, and start fucking the Catholic girl!"Leonard started off slow, sliding in and out of Bernadette's tight, wet pussy. He slowly picked up the pace and soon was slapping his sweaty skin against her thick thighs and she was moaning constantly. He reached up and, unzipping the back of her dress, drew it off her shoulders and down about her waist.Penny stared at Bernadette's huge tits; "My god Bernadette, why do you always hide those gorgeous tits of yours? If I had tits like that I'd always be showing them off!"Sheldon scoffed; "What do you mean Penny, you aren't hardly half that big and you are always flashing them at Leonard!""I do not!" the aspiring actress protested.Priya responded, pulling Sheldon's cock from her mouth; "Oh yes you do!""Do not!"Raj, Amy, and Bernadette all responded; "Yes you do!""Oh shut up, and just; shut up!" In a whispered Penny replied; "Do not!"Leonard just nodded as he continued fucking Bernadette from behind; "I don't mind, Penny, brings back more great mammaries!"Sheldon scoffed again; "Sarcasm, right?"In a long voice Leonard responded; "Right!"Raj pulled out of Amy's well fucked cunt and his cock was coated in her thick creamy cum.Bernadette stared at it as Leonard continued to fuck her and she had a strong urge to suck Amy's cum from Raj's stiff cock.Leonard slowed his inward strokes and reaching down began to wiggle her dress back and forth on her ample hips. As it slipped free he briefly pulled out of her and slid the dress to her knees, where she quickly discarded the dress from her legs.Leonard drew her panties off, now giving him freer access to her dripping pussy. He slipped back into her pussy and began pounding her faster and deeper. He reached up and gripped at the bra, unhooking it, it fell from her body and he immediately replaced the bra cups with his hands. Leonard began mauling her huge tits and it sent Bernadette over the top as she started cumming all over his invading cock.:"Oh yes, Leonard; fuck me, fuck me good and hard,” Bernadette bellowed like a wild woman. “Oh fuck! I just love having my big titties played with, it makes me cum so much faster!"When she finally stopped cumming, Leonard pulled his cum coated cock from her pussy. It made a slurping, sucking sound from the intense suction his cock had caused.Bernadette moaned in frustration; "Oh please Leonard, don't stop. Oh fuck, I want to cum again!"The buxom petite let out a loud scream and giggled when Leonard suddenly flipped her over and with her ass sitting on the edge of the bed; he threw her stocking clad legs over his shoulders and buried his face in her foaming pussy. He latched onto her pussy and she let out a loud growl.Penny laughed; "Oh my god, Bernadette, you are in for a treat! Leonard has to be the best pussy-eater I've ever been with!"Sheldon laughed; "Wow, Leonard, that's saying something seeing just how many men Penny has been with!""Hey!", Penny protested."Bazinga!"To be continued in part 3.By baranbrat for Literotica

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief keeps a solemn promise, riding north through the towering piney woods of East Texas to Tyler, where he shines a spotlight on Kiepersol Distillery and the legacy behind Jimmy's Bourbon. At the heart of this whiskey is Jimmy Hines, a World War II pilot who carried a bottle of whiskey with him through the war—only to trade it for a vinyl record that turned out to be blank. Imagine the heartbreak. Today, Kiepersol honors Jimmy's spirit and sacrifice, using his pilot goggles as the symbol of their brand and his fearless outlook as the inspiration for their tagline: “Through Hero's Eyes.” Big Chief sits down with distiller Dylan Latham, a man whose passion for the craft is evident in every sip. They kick things off with Jimmy's 84-proof Bourbon, a light, crisp Texas whiskey with whispers of crackerjack and vanilla—a perfect bridge for those who love the easy-drinking nature of Irish or Scottish drams. Next up is Jimmy's 90-proof Bourbon, a whiskey with a cult following so loyal that it rarely stays on shelves. Deep, rich toffee notes, accented by tea and honey, make this an unmistakable Texas gem. For the second half, Dylan and Big Chief dive into Jimmy's Rye Whiskey—a Kentucky-style rye with layers of licorice, sweet vanilla cream, and warm spice on the back end. Smooth yet complex, it's a rye that demands attention. And then, the grand finale. A 10-year-old, cask-strength expression of Jimmy's Bourbon, clocking in at 116.7 proof. This might just be the best whiskey in the Lone Star State. Deep, rich kettle corn, butterscotch, dried fruit, and chocolate flood the palate, finishing with a lingering kiss of light smoke and spice. Kiepersol isn't just another Texas craft distillery—it's a place of heritage, honor, and damn good whiskey. This was a ride Big Chief will never forget. So pour yourself a glass, settle in, and join us for another unforgettable journey on The Whiskey Trip. Cheers!

4/8:  The Playbook: A Story of Theater, Democracy, and the Making of a Culture War by  James Shapiro  (Author)  https://www.amazon.com/Playbook-Theater-Democracy-Making-Culture-ebook/dp/B0CGTQFQ8H From 1935 to 1939, the Federal Theatre Project staged over a thousand productions in 29 states that were seen by thirty million (or nearly one in four) Americans, two thirds of whom had never seen a play before. At its helm was an unassuming theater professor, Hallie Flanagan. It employed, at its peak, over twelve thousand struggling artists, some of whom, like Orson Welles and Arthur Miller, would soon be famous, but most of whom were just ordinary people eager to work again at their craft. It was the product of a moment when the arts, no less than industry and agriculture, were thought to be vital to the health of the republic, bringing Shakespeare to the public, alongside modern plays that confronted the pressing issues of the day—from slum housing and public health to racism and the rising threat of fascism. The Playbook takes us through some of its most remarkable productions, including a groundbreaking Black production of Macbeth in Harlem and an adaptation of Sinclair Lewis's anti-fascist novel It Can't Happen Here that opened simultaneously in 18 cities, underscoring the Federal Theatre's incredible range and vitality. But this once thriving Works Progress Administration relief program did not survive and has left little trace. For the Federal Theatre was the first New Deal project to be attacked and ended on the grounds that it promoted “un-American” activity, sowing the seeds not only for the McCarthyism of the 1950s but also for our own era of merciless polarization. It was targeted by the first House un-American Affairs Committee, and its demise was a turning point in American cultural life—for, as Shapiro brilliantly argues, “the health of democracy and theater, twin born in ancient Greece, have always been mutually dependent.” A defining legacy of this culture war was how the strategies used to undermine and ultimately destroy the Federal Theatre were assembled by a charismatic and cunning congressman from East Texas, the now largely forgotten Martin Dies, who in doing so pioneered the right-wing political playbook now so prevalent that it seems eternal. 1935-39 Federal Theater "Mikado"
