The duo discuss biphasic sleep, talking dogs, AI contact lenses, robot roommates, lab-grown meat, high-speed trains, dream-recording technology, China's forest sleep competition, TSA nightmares, foot-fetish entrepreneurs, conspiracy theories, and why laundry folding might be humanity's greatest challenge. If you've ever wondered what happens when Sara is left alone with her thoughts and a phone full of weird internet content, this episode is for you. #SHENK #SaraWeinshenk #ComedyPodcast #StandUpComedy

Comedian Sara Weinshenk sits down with comedian Erica Rhodes for a hilarious episode of SHENK covering everything from AI-generated comedy and social media algorithms to terrible tattoos, improv classes, commercial auditions, aliens, and dating disasters. Erica talks about studying cello in college, dropping out to move to New York for love, and why comedians are secretly terrible at improv. Sara shares nightmare stories about bad tattoos, hooking up with a comic with a belly button ring, and her endless quest to finally book a national commercial. If you like stand-up comedy podcasts, comedian interviews, behind-the-scenes comedy talk, and unfiltered conversations about life in LA comedy — this episode is for you. #SHENK #SaraWeinshenk #EricaRhodes #ComedyPodcast #StandUpComedy
Welcome back to another chaotic and hilarious episode of SHENK! This week, Sarah Wine-Shank sits down with the brilliantly funny comedian, Dylan Carlino (host of the 'Feeling Girly' podcast). In this episode, Dylan shares his unforgettable out-of-body experience meeting Demi Lovato in first class and why he feels spiritually connected to the Olsen twins. Sarah and Dylan dig deep into the stark differences between the comedy scenes in Austin and LA, the toxic green room dynamics at Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership, and the brutal reality of gay dating apps. From childhood weight struggles and body dysmorphia to deep-cut pop culture takes on Sydney Sweeney, Euphoria Season 3, and Amber Heard—nothing is off-limits.
Welcome back to another episode of SHENK! This week, Sara Weinshenk is joined by the hilarious Bianca Parato for a deep dive into the unexpected. Bianca reveals her secret life as a "Low Key Tradwife," why she's soaking loose beans in a "bean-newsy," and her dream of transitioning from comedy to a tour bus full of cover songs. The girls get existential as they discuss the "generational pussy" divide, comparing 20th-century history to the Gen Z aesthetic, and why Sara might be sexually attracted to a cartoon cell from Osmosis Jones. Plus, we tackle processed meat anxieties, the Ryan Gosling / Mark Wahlberg Lovely Bones fat-suit controversy, and why Sara is terrified of going to Alaska.

Hold onto your elf ears! This week, Sarah welcomes the hilarious Maddie Maze to the studio. Things get "steamy" early as they discuss the questionable benefits of DIY Yoni steams and the mystery of "vagina bleaching" black underwear. Sarah recounts a dark 39th birthday spent bombing for a sleepy audience, while Maddie takes us back to the "musty" halls of 2010s anime conventions and the legendary Homestuck fandom. The duo then predicts the future of combat: 1 million Mike Tysons vs. 10,000 Gorillas and the inevitable "Kill-More War" (Kill Tony fans vs. Gilmore Girls moms). Plus, Sarah explores a potential copper-haired midlife crisis and unearths an incredibly awkward throwback video of Matt Rife trying to flirt with Zendaya.

Sara Weinshenk is back with another wild episode of SHENK — and this one goes deep. Comedian and psychedelic explorer Shane Mauss joins Sara to talk about everything from tripping at Meow Wolf to the realities of mental health, psych wards, and life on the road. What starts as a conversation about comedy quickly spirals into stories about high-speed chases, van life isolation, and the unpredictable nature of psychedelics. They break down Shane's new special Trips, the challenges of talking about psychedelics online, and how algorithms can literally shut down your career overnight. Plus, things get unhinged with stories from Wi Spa, bizarre psych ward experiences, and the strange overlap between chaos and self-discovery. It's funny, dark, honest, and completely unpredictable — classic SHENK.

We trace the line from Shenk's 1753 Pennsylvania rye to a modern Kentucky rebirth, where low entry proof, heat-cycled warehouses, and uncompromising standards define how every bottle earns its label. Along the way, we revisit Fort Nelson memories, the bottle-your-own experience, and the friendships that make great pours even better.We sit with the choices that changed the trajectory of Michter's: rebuilding in Kentucky under Joe Magliocco, tapping legendary guidance from Dick Newman, and empowering Dan McKee and Andrea Wilson to release only what meets the mark. That means small batches around 20 barrels, single-barrel highlights, and the guts to skip the 10 Year when the whiskey isn't ready. We unpack why 103 proof going into the barrel deepens oak sweetness at approachable bottle proofs, and how heat-cycling keeps extraction alive through winter for a rounder mid-palate and cleaner finish.Tasting the 2019 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash brings the philosophy to life: cherry, maple, and toasted marshmallow on the nose; a light-to-medium body that still coats; honeyed sweetness with a snap of pepper; and a dry, medium finish. We also explore how Michter's helped popularize toasted barrel finishing, why age statements don't guarantee balance, and how homage releases like Shenk's and Bomberger's honor Pennsylvania roots while Fort Nelson Select grounds the present in Louisville. The result is a consistent, distinctive profile that collectors chase and newcomers can enjoy without a learning curve.If you love whiskey history, crave insight into maturation choices, or just want tasting notes you can use tonight, you'll feel right at home.
