It's the end of 2018! Whether you're on the woo or boo side of this yearc oming to its inevitable conclusion, there's nothing you can do to stop it!We brought on some friends of the show, Travis Hudson, Beth Demmon, and IanC heesman to discuss the main happenings in San Diego #indiebeer for the year. Brandon Hernandez is back in his hosting chair and we give him a proper introduction!The discussion weaves through brewery closings, major expansions, openings, and we talk about our Top 3 beer events of the year!It's a time for reflection and pondering on the occurrences of 2018, with a positive eye on the future. I/we are remarkably lucky to have and thankful for all of you! Without the incredible support of our Patrons and the San Diego indie beer industry and community we would not have been able tos tart TIBS! I'm astonished with how well the new show has commenced and have an extraordinarily positive viewpoint of the future of the show. The addition of David, and now Brandon, has felt natural and inevitable. Will we reach our full potential? Probably not, but the future sure feels bright over here at The Indie Beer Show! We wish you Happy Holidays and the hope2019 brings you laughter and positivity!Grab your favorite #indiebeer and hit that download button! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We had so much fun recording #6 in a construction site that we decided we should do it again! A big thank you to Steve at U31 for letting us this space once again. We invited over some friends of The Show, Morgan Tenwick, Jen Mann, and of course Travis Hudson, Mr. #stout365, for some "drinking a bunch of stouts" fun in a slightly creepy location! We also break down our Top 3 got to beers, beers we can drink anytime, anywhere.We began our sampling with SD staples and Sore Eye Cup champions; I'm not sure I had ever really drank Oatmeal Stout from Benchmark, Tabula Rasa from Second Chance, and Speedway Stout from AleSmith in sequence but each remains a beacon of light in a sea of awesome stouts. The time tested quality of each of these beers and breweries really underlines the legitimacy of their Sore Eye Cup victories.Then we're totally invaded and show jacked by the What's on Draft crew! They're on to discuss all the great things you can expect to see in the Sexy Brewers calendar. You get to hear my honest, first reactions to each month's picture and hear some behind the scenes stories about the shots, it's like Pop Up Podcastio, you get all the fun without those annoying visuals. The calendar benefits Life Sharing, a charity close to Tom's heart.We squeeze in some older (aged) stouts, a few barrel aged bottles, and just for the record, we also consumed a bunch of OTL Lager and 2 crowlers of Eppig beers. This was one of our heavier drinking episodes in a while and I really enjoyed it!Grab your favorite stout, or go to beer, and push that play button!

The Volleyball Life Podcast with Travis Hudson   Welcome to The Volleyball Life Podcast. We’re back today with Travis Hudson, he’s the head coach at Western Kentucky University, and you’re going to love listening to him. He’s got a great Kentucky accent, for one thing, and he’s just this marvelously inspirational guy. 

In 1835, a Native American woman was somehow left behind when her dwindling island tribe was transferred to the California mainland. She would spend the next 18 years living alone in a world of 22 square miles. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the poignant story of the lone woman of San Nicolas Island. We'll also learn about an inebriated elephant and puzzle over an unattainable test score. Intro: As construction began on Scotland’s Forth Bridge, engineers offered a personal demonstration of its cantilever design. In the 1880s, Manhattan's rationalist "Thirteen Club" held a dinner on the 13th of each month to flout superstition. Sources for our feature on the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island: Sara L.
