Hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter, feature special guest David Sandlin, bourbon historian and owner of House of Commons in Frankfort, Kentucky . This episode, affectionately dubbed "Crazy Eights," embarks on a fascinating tasting journey through five different versions of Wild Turkey 8-year bourbon . The hosts and David analyze various expressions, starting with the recently released 2025 Wild Turkey 8-year 101 . They delve into its nose, noting hints of peanut shell, lemon, and a spicier, more prominent rye note than typically found in Wild Turkey, along with subtle clove and dark chocolate . The 2025 release is also described as more nutty and spicy compared to the 70th anniversary edition . Next up is the 70th Anniversary release, honored for Jimmy Russell's 70th anniversary . This expression showcases more classic citrus and honey notes, with a softer, more viscous palate and hints of overripe cherries . The discussion touches on the different Wild Turkey rickhouse campuses—Tyrone, McBrayer, and Camp Nelson—and their influence on the bourbon's profile .   The journey continues with the 2018 Wild Turkey 8-year 101, which presents a more subdued, classic Wild Turkey profile, with notes of citrus, dark fruits, and honey . Following this, the 2014 Wild Turkey 8-year 101 reveals a distinct "turkey funk," with rich toffee, caramel, and a unique savory, almost meaty flavor, suggesting a lower barrel entry proof . Finally, the 2002 Wild Turkey 8-year 101 is introduced as a "big hitter" . This expression is lauded for its rich, balanced oak and spice, creamy caramel, and evolving flavors of vanilla, offering a concentrated and complex experience . The hosts discuss the history of the 8-year expression, noting its absence from the American market since 1992 until recently, being primarily an export product . The podcast concludes with the hosts and David ranking their top three pours, with the 2002 taking the top spot, followed by the 2014 and the 70th Anniversary edition . David Sandlin, owner of House of Commons, is celebrated for his extensive knowledge of bourbon history, flavors, and his role as a mixologist . House of Commons, located in Frankfort, is highlighted as the only vintage distilled spirits bar in the area, offering a vast selection of Kentucky spirits and a unique bourbon experience, with Airbnbs available above the bar for travelers .

Political storm clouds are gathering over Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Spring Statement. What does it mean for Parliament, party discipline and the Government's economic credibility. We speak to Dr Marie Tidball MP about her first months in Westminster - and the accessibility challenges facing disabled MPs. Plus, why did Peers get a vote on postponing local elections, but MPs didn't?With MPs facing a bleak economic outlook, proposed welfare cuts, and local elections on the horizon, how long can Ministers hold the line? Ruth and Mark dissect signs of unrest on Labour's backbenches, with a growing number of voices warning against what they see as a return to “austerity 2.0.” We explore the growing calls for a shift in economic strategy — from a wealth tax to rethinking the triple lock — and the dangers for Reeves if her current path begins to look like a “doom loop”. Also this week, Dr Marie Tidball MP joins us to share her first-hand experiences as a newly elected Labour MP (for Penistone and Stocksbridge) — and the accessibility hurdles facing disabled parliamentarians in Westminster's historic (and often inaccessible) corridors of power. She tells us about the challenges of navigating the place of Westminster's physical and procedural barriers. We also explore why the unelected House of Lords got a vote on the Goverment's plans to postpone some local elections — but MPs didn't? It's all to do with delegated legislation! And we answer listener's questions. Is anonymous evidence to Select Committees common?What's behind the Government's new ‘business motion' to control time in the House of Lords Chamber on Thursdays, until the end of the Session?And which podcasts do Mark and Ruth listen to?

Pippa Crerar and Kiran Stacey walk us through what we can expect to hear when Rachel Reeves makes her spring statement on Wednesday. With the government facing downgraded growth forecasts, rising borrowing costs and the threat of Donald Trump's tariffs, how can it boost the economy and save public services? And how will major spending cuts go down with the party and the public?. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/politicspod

Our guests are two of the report's authors:Meg Russell – Director of the Constitution Unit and Professor of British and Comparative Politics at UCLLisa James – Senior Research Fellow at the Constitution UnitOur host, Alan Renwick, also a co-author of the report, leads the discussion on possible constitutional reforms, their feasibility, and what reforms could be on the horizon.Mentioned in this episode:The Constitutional Landscape: Options for Reform, by Lisa James, Patrick Thomas, Alan Renwick and Meg Russell.S7:E10 A Primer on House of Lords Reform, with Meg Russell.

Four U-boats in London

Assisted dying could become legal in England and Wales after the Terminally Ill Adults Bill was backed by MPs in a historic vote this afternoon.

The leader of the government in the House of Commons is one of the most important jobs in parliament. It's tricky work, especially in a minority parliament such as the one the Trudeau Liberals govern with at the moment. That's been made tougher due to a procedural stalemate. The post is held by the Liberal member for Burlington, Karina Gould, and she joins Steve Paikin to talk about her role and the government's plans in the coming months.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The House of Commons is in gridlock. Government bills and private members' legislation have stalled. The Senate is running out of government matters to study.  Parliament is paralyzed by a Conservative filibuster that started in late September.  The Bloc Québécois, the NDP and the Green Party accuse the Tories of hijacking the Commons for their own parliamentary games. The Conservatives say they are filibustering their own motion — tabling one sub-amendment after another —  to pressure the Liberals to turn over documents to the RCMP. The documents were requested by parliamentarians months ago — but the Liberals have ignored the demand, refusing to hand all the records over in unredacted form.  The Conservatives accuse the government of trying to hide evidence of Liberal corruption involving millions of dollars of taxpayers' money. Who's telling the truth? This week on “It's Political,” we turn our attention to the Conservative filibuster and the allegations at the heart of the standoff in Parliament.   First, we'll dig into the substance of the request for documents with Toronto Star Ottawa bureau reporter Mark Ramzy.  Then our panel of experts – former PMO senior director Marci Surkes, former senior Conservative communication adviser Yaroslav Baran and former NDP MP Matthew Dubé –  will join Althia to discuss the political strategies at play, and what it will take to finally end the standoff.  6:08 — Mark Ramzy outlines the substance behind the filibuster 18:18 — Political panel discusses the parties' political strategies around the filibuster. In this episode: Toronto Star reporter Mark Ramzy, Compass Rose Group chief strategy officer and former senior advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Marci Surkes; Pendulum Group Co-founder and former senior Conservative advisor Yaroslav Baran; and Proof Strategies vice-president and former NDP MP Matthew Dubé. Hosted by Althia Raj. Some of the clips this week were sourced from the House of Commons, CPAC, the Canadian Parliamentary Press Gallery, and the National Post. This episode of “It's Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton.  Matt Hearn is our sound engineer. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.

In 2017, at the age of 29, she was named Minister of Democratic Institutions and President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, becoming the youngest female cabinet minister in Canadian history. She's a graduate of McGill University and the University of Oxford with a master's in international relations, and has also served as Minister of International Development and Minister of Families, Children and Social Development. With the birth of her son Oliver, she became the first federal Cabinet minister to give birth while holding office. So, just a little bit of trailblazing with Ms. Gould. Today, a little bit about her life and what brought her to a career in public service. But more time spent in the present: The Trudeau leadership discussion. Where it's at. Or not at. We'll focus on the Liberal Government legislative agenda going forward. And how to beat Poilievre.  What is the plan for that?

A divisive bill has had its first reading in the UK's House of Commons. Labour MP Kim Leadbeater has introduced her Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, setting off an emotional debate. It would allow mentally competent, terminally ill adults with six months or less left to live the right to choose to end their lives with medical help. UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that there's a “fairly clean” split in the House, the left largely in favour of the bill, and the right largely against. He says the bill is controversial, difficult, and very emotive, and will be debated at the end of November. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
