To paraphrase—awkwardly—that 70s-era lyric, "International Law! What Is It Good For? Absolutely. Nothing! Good God!" Lucretia host's this week's episode, which combines her skepticism of international law, especially as it relates to our current military operations against Iran, along with her impatience with our willful refusal to take radical Islam seriously, now that Islam-inspired violence in the U.S. is now a daily occurence. The first topic was inspired by John Yoo's latest article on the subject; the latter subject inspired by the news headlines, needless to say.Oh, we also make the case briefly for invading Iceland. It has to do with hamburgers. Also there are dogs.

Send a textWe catch up with Tracy and Barb Napolitano as they lay out the biggest upgrades to New Orleans Bourbon Festival, from a new self-contained downtown venue to a rooftop Grand Tasting with sweeping views of the city and the Mississippi River. We also dig into the dinners, ghost tours, VIP judging, seminar lineup, and the barrel picks that support charity while keeping the whole weekend easy to navigate on foot.• new downtown venue that keeps tastings, seminars and hotels close• rooftop Grand Tasting setup with a full outdoor atmosphere• Britannia Theater seminar experience with comfortable seating and service• French Quarter ghost tour ending at Oddfellows Rest Cemetery• Dark Arts tasting in the cemetery as a true New Orleans twist• VIP judging experience and what makes it special• brand and distillery presence including Four Roses, Sazerac, Michter's, WhistlePig, Barrel, Penelope, Proof and Wood, Old Carter and more• why the festival prioritises passionate whiskey people over empty booth pours• awards judged by real bourbon fans and everyday drinkers• Friday and Saturday seminar schedule highlights including cigar pairings, women's panel and next generation panel• barrel pick reservations through the festival website with festival pickup only• charity focus behind bottle sales and how proceeds are handled• ticket timing for dinners and ghost tours plus remaining festival ticketsA bourbon festival can be big and still feel close knit, but only if the layout, the people, and the programming are built with intention. That's why we sat down with Tracy and Barb Napolitano to get the real plan for this year's New Orleans Bourbon Festival, including the biggest change yet: a brand-new downtown venue that keeps the weekend together and walkable.We talk through what that actually means on the ground. The Grand Tasting moves fully outdoors to a rooftop overlooking the New Orleans skyline and the Mississippi River, while the seminar track shifts into the Britannia Theater for a true sit-back-and-learn experience with comfortable seating. We also hit the event schedule: VIP judging, brand dinners, late-night meetups, and the kind of after-parties that make New Orleans the perfect backdrop for a whiskey weekend.Then we get into the line-up and why it matters. You'll hear which distilleries, blenders, and personalities are coming, plus why this festival leans into independent and craft whiskey alongside heavy hitters like Four Roses and Sazerac. We also break down barrel pick reservations, the no-shipping rule, and how bottle proceeds support charity. And yes, we cover the ghost tour that ends with a Dark Arts tasting in a haunted cemetery, because New Orleans is going to New Orleans.If you're planning a bourbon festival trip, want the best bourbon seminars, or just love whiskey travel stories, this one is your blueprint.

Alice Carroll is breaking waves in the whiskey business. Her many chapters as a brand ambassador for the world's most well known whiskies emboldened an ambition: an ambition to create her own brand. The delicious result is Foxes Bow Irish whiskey, an artist, flavor first concoction. But as Alice's passion project breathes live into the market, what kind of challenges and unexpected corners will have to be surmounted? We chat about fashion, the sound of our own voices, and a new 40% missing campaign: a new bottling for International Women's Month that begs the question "where is the representation for Women in this vast whiskey industry?"

A great story is truly timeless. However, since “A Question of Price” is pretty mid at best, we're giving it a little less than 90 minutes. In our newest side quest, we're returning to the world of Witcher comics to discuss Dark Horse's adaptation of the Andrzej Sapkowski short story, determining if this recent graphic novel has anything new to offer besides some pretty art. (In fairness, it's VERY pretty art.) Does the story that introduced The Witcher's Law of Surprise still hold some surprises of its own? Does the return of “Headband Geralt” hit differently after Crossroads of Ravens? And does Calanthe bring that milf energy and thirst for Geralt that she has in other versions of this story? Sharpen your swords and don your doublets, we're returning to Cintra!

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta terça-feira (10):Autoridades brasileiras, incluindo ministros e integrantes do Judiciário, participaram de um evento em Londres com Daniel Vorcaro, investigado no caso Master. O encontro contou com uma degustação de whisky que teria custado mais de R$ 3 milhões, pagos pelo banqueiro. A reunião foi citada em sessão fechada do Judiciário e levou ao afastamento de Dias Toffoli da relatoria do inquérito. O Conselho Federal da OAB pediu ao ministro do STF André Mendonça acesso integral às provas do inquérito do caso Banco Master. A entidade afirma que a sociedade tem direito de conhecer os elementos que levaram à prisão do banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro. A Ordem também solicitou reunião com Mendonça para tratar do tema. O delegado da Polícia Federal Fábio Shor, responsável por investigar e indiciar o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) na apuração sobre a suposta trama golpista, foi nomeado assessor no gabinete do ministro Alexandre de Moraes, no STF. A nomeação foi publicada no Diário Oficial da União. O governo de Javier Milei concedeu status de refugiado ao caminhoneiro Joel Correa, condenado no Brasil pelos atos de 8 de Janeiro. Segundo o parecer argentino, não foram identificadas provas diretas que justificassem a condenação por crimes graves. A decisão também cita temor de perseguição política caso ele retornasse ao Brasil. A defesa do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) pediu à Justiça autorização excepcional para que Darren Beattie, assessor do Departamento de Estado dos Estados Unidos, realize uma visita durante agenda oficial no Brasil. Segundo os advogados, o assessor estará em Brasília por pouco tempo e não poderá comparecer nos dias regulares de visitação.Pesquisa Datafolha mostra aumento no número de brasileiros que avaliam que a economia do país piorou nos últimos meses. O percentual subiu de 41% para 46% na comparação entre dezembro e março. Já a parcela que acredita que a situação econômica melhorou caiu de 29% para 24%. A quebra de sigilo de Daniel Vorcaro revelou que o banqueiro esteve na Venezuela antes de participar de uma agenda em Brasília. E-mails encontrados no celular mostram gastos em um hotel em Caracas e indicam que, dias depois, ele esteve no Palácio do Planalto. O encontro com Vorcaro não aparece na agenda oficial do governo. O presidente do Supremo Tribunal Federal, Edson Fachin, afirmou que as investigações sobre o caso Banco Master vão avançar “doa a quem doer”. A declaração ocorre em meio às revelações envolvendo autoridades citadas nas conversas do banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro. Parte do STF também demonstra incômodo com a condução do caso pelo ministro André Mendonça. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

Send a textNot many people can say they've founded a bourbon distillery and run one of the world's largest whiskey programs. Kaveh Zamanian isn't most people. A prolific whiskey brand founder and former Chief Whiskey Officer at Pernod Ricard, Kaveh built Rabbit Hole Distillery from a creative vision into a brand compelling enough to catch the eye of one of the world's biggest spirits companies, and when Pernod Ricard came calling, he didn't just take the deal, he took the wheel, going on to lead their whiskey program at the highest level.In this episode, Kaveh reveals what it really takes to build a bourbon brand with a creative mindset: from the founding principles behind Rabbit Hole Distillery, to the realities of being acquired by a global spirits giant, to how he architected a portfolio strategy that balanced heritage and innovation. We explore the surprising link between whiskey and human psychology, his approach to brand building that goes beyond the liquid in the bottle, and the leadership lessons learned from running one of the industry's most storied whiskey programs.Featured Guest:Kaveh Zamanian, Founder, Rabbit Hole, Mary Dowling, and Mash & Mallow Whiskey CompaniesMentioned in this episode:Rabbit Hole DistilleryMary Dowling Mash & MallowPernod RicardWant to stay in the know about new episodes from the podcast?

IntroductionHow does a distillery in North Carolina begun by an Army veteran have most of their products become kosher-certified and go on to win many medals at spirits competitions? That's something we're going to explore on this 188th episode of The Jewish Drinking Show, featuring Bruce Tyler, Weldon Mills Distillery's co-owner and manager, along with Ari Cohen, Weldon Mills Distillery's operations and brand ambassador.Biography of GuestAlong with his business partner, Michael Hinderliter, Bruce Tyler established Weldon Mills Distillery in January of 2019.

Send a textWe celebrate Irish whiskey's roots, its collapse and comeback, and how Ohio became a hotbed for great bottles. We taste and score Bua Imperial Stout Finish, then mix an Irish Mule with maple and a Guinness Old Fashioned topped with vanilla foam.• Irish whiskey heritage from monks to Bushmills • Four core styles and triple distillation explained • Why Ohio's shelves now carry deeper Irish picks • Bua Imperial Stout Finish tasting and scores • Price, drinkability, and value talk • Irish Mule with barrel-aged maple tweak • Guinness Old Fashioned with chocolate bitters and foam • Irish coffee shortcut and bar gear tips • Shoutouts to local events, brands, and rare releasesIrish whiskey has a way of sneaking up on you—soft at first sip, then suddenly full of story. We kick things off by resetting our palates for St. Patrick's season and tracing the spirit's arc from monastic stills to the first license at Old Bushmills, through the hard years of trade restrictions and Prohibition, and into a modern revival that's filling glasses around the world. Along the way, we talk styles—single pot still, single malt, single grain, and blends—why triple distillation matters, and how used wood and clever finishes shape flavor without piling on heat.From there we get local. Ohio's shelves have quietly leveled up, and we shout out bottles that punch above their price, like The Whistler Double Oak, Writers' Tears, and a few “how is this still here?” finds. The centerpiece is our bottle breakdown of Bua Imperial Stout Finish, a Columbus-rooted Irish whiskey guided by seasoned hands. On the nose we find limoncello brightness, light cocoa, and a subtle nuttiness; on the palate, a gentle sugar note and roasted malt from the stout cask; the finish stays tidy and refreshing. We score it, debate body and balance, and talk real-world value—aka the kind of bottle that vanishes at a fantasy draft.Then we head behind the bar for two crowd-pleasers you can master tonight. First up: an Irish Mule with fresh lime, ginger beer, and a dash of barrel-aged maple syrup to round the edges. Next, a Guinness Old Fashioned built with Bua's stout finish, chocolate and Angostura bitters, and a silky Guinness brown-sugar syrup, crowned with a light vanilla foam. It drinks like the best parts of a pour and a pint in one glass. We close with a quick Irish coffee riff and a few gear tips to make your home bar smoother and more fun.Raise a glass with us, explore beyond the usual suspects, and lean into a season made for sharing good bottles and better stories.

Today, Todd & Leslie chat with Scott Pollard, former NBA player and Survivor: Kaôh Rōng contestant, sharing his incredible journey from professional athlete to Survivor to heart transplant survivor. After a 2021 flu shot triggered a genetic heart condition (the same that his father had), Scott endured three years of heart failure before receiving a transplant in February 2024, with his wife Dawn serving as his devoted caregiver throughout the ordeal. The episode explores how this experience humbled Scott—transforming him from lifelong provider to someone who had to accept help—and reveals the deeper story behind his "villain" edit on Survivor, explaining his sarcastic humor and strong bond with Jason Kyle over missing their families. Scott also discusses how Survivor led to the birth of his son Icean, promotes his wife's charity Pearls of Life (pearlsoflife.org) which supports transplant families and organ donation education, and shares that he's now the tallest person ever to receive a heart transplant, saved by donor Casey Angel who gave life to five people. Seriously, if you had thoughts of who Scot is based on his Survivor edit, you are going to be so surprised by this interview!Special thanks to the best Whiskey on the Planet Watertown Whiskey!

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes the ride with Dina Coker, founder of Lythgoe Bourbon, and Steffani Scheurich, the brand's Master Blender. Together they dive into the story behind a bourbon brand that is bold, confident, and completely unapologetic—just like the woman who inspired it. Lythgoe Bourbon draws its spirit from Gertrude "Cleo" Lythgoe, often called the Queen of the Bootleggers during Prohibition. Cleo was known for her fearless personality, sharp business mind, and refusal to play by anyone else's rules. That same unapologetic attitude lives inside every bottle of Lythgoe Bourbon today. The episode begins with Pauline's Victory, an 8-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon bottled at 90 proof. Elegant and balanced, this pour sets the tone for the first half of the conversation. It's refined yet confident, delivering classic bourbon notes with a smooth character that invites you to slow down and appreciate the craft behind it. As the glasses empty, Dina and Steffani talk about building a brand that honors the rebellious spirit of Cleo Lythgoe while celebrating the women helping shape the modern whiskey world. In the second half of the show, the crew pours the Founder's Collection, a 9-year-old four-grain Kentucky Straight Bourbon. With both rye and wheat in the mash bill, the whiskey creates a unique balance where sweet and spicy notes dance together in the glass. The wheat softens the edges while the rye brings the spice, creating a layered bourbon that highlights Steffani's artistry as a master blender. It's a conversation about history, bold women in whiskey, and the unapologetic spirit that built this brand from the ground up. Pour yourself a glass, sit back, and Take the Ride with Big Chief on this week's episode of The Whiskey Trip.

Send a textIf you love whiskey but ignore wine… you're missing half the experience. And if you love wine but never explore whiskey… the same is true.In this episode of Bottles & Bites Without Borders, Rob Clark breaks down the surprising parallels between wine and whiskey. Both are complex, expressive beverages shaped by agriculture, fermentation, aging, and regional identity.We'll talk about:• Why whiskey and wine are more similar than most people realize • How terroir influences both beverages • The role of barrels in flavor development • Why whiskey is a perfect aperitif before dinner • Why wine is still the best beverage to pair with foodIf you enjoy one of these worlds, there's a very good chance you'll enjoy the other.Great drinks are about exploration — and the best tables have both wine and whiskey on them.

A shirtless tourist tries to kidnap a flamingo from a Las Vegas casino and somehow that's only the beginning. This week the gals dive into the absolute animal chaos of Vegas: the bizarre story of the Flamingo Hotel heist, the shocking truth behind a famous Vegas show featuring dancing orangutans, and Elvis Presley's pet chimp who developed a taste for whiskey and started attacking guests at Graceland. Meanwhile Cassie brings the darkness with the horrifying story of a French doctor who preyed on Jewish people trying to escape during WWII. Flamingos, primates, Vegas madness and wartime monsters... just another normal week on The Creep Dive.

Join me for a conversation with whiskey maker Ari Sussman as we dive into the story behind Whiskey JYPSI, co-founded by Raj Alva and singer-songwriter Eric Church, learn about Ari's path into the industry, from politics to winemaking in France, international bartending, and eventually studying at Michigan State University's pioneering distilling program under the late Dr. Kris Berglund. We'll talk about Berglund's quiet influence over the modern craft distilling industry, the Rosen rye project (a historic grain varietal with deep ties to Michigan and MSU), and the philosophy behind Whiskey JYPSI's products, using their Tribute, Explorer, and Legacy whiskeys as examples to illustrate the brand's focus on storytelling through grain, wood augmentation, and innovative blending. Enjoy the return of the long-form interview on Whiskey Lore.

Today marks International Women's Day, and it's just a happy coincidence that we have two women who make great whiskies on this week's show. Dr. Emma Walker is the master blender for Johnnie Walker, while Angela D'Orazio is the Creative Director of Whiskymaking for Compass Box. Both have new whiskies out, and we'll hear from both of them on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Sazerac is looking at expanding in Kentucky with a distillery in default, and the Canadian boycott of American whiskies is a year old and having major impacts on whiskey makers in the U.S.

This special "Give War a Chance" episode, the second under our joint sponsorship of the Civitas Institute and Ricochet, had some peculiar technical glitches that make it quite odd and somewhat disjointed. Steve cut out halfway through, and getting him back was a great bollix.In any case, we reviewed some key points of the Great Iran War of 2026, along with observations on the Supreme Court's intervention on the side of California parents (we can't believe this was even an issue, but it is), and then after Steve came back, a mad scramble to the finish.We do manage to get in some important cultural notes, such as the new McDonald's 1,000-calorie-plus Big Arch burger, and talking John down from his first ever visit to Buc-ees.

Send a textHeat shimmers above the Santa Fe tracks as Newton, Kansas splits in two: polished mahogany and temperance to the north, canvas alleys and all-night revelry to the south. We guide you through the second act of a borderland drama where the railroad doesn't just deliver cattle and cash—it redraws morals, loyalties, and the limits of law. Perry Tuttle's roaring dancehall, the Gold Room's careful smiles, and a fiddler-reporter named Allegro weave a soundscape where stories pay better than truth and reputation is coin.At the heart of the conflict stand two badges that should have kept the peace and instead crack it open. Mike McCluskey, the unyielding Yankee enforcer, and Billy Bailey, a Texan gambler pinned with borrowed authority, become emblems for bigger wars: North versus South, rail versus range, progress versus pride. When election day whiskey greases ballots for railroad bonds, tempers boil. A public humiliation spills into sunlight, and a gut shot renders a verdict no courtroom can soften. The town fractures along the rails and along the story each side needs to survive—self-defense for the railroad men, cold-blood for the Texans.Hovering at the edge is James Riley, a frail eighteen-year-old with consumption and no fear left to spend. His quiet loyalty to McCluskey changes the odds in ways bluster never could, turning a feud into a fuse. As McCluskey flees, hears he's cleared, and boards the return train, the badge feels like a shield, but the grass by the tracks says otherwise. We stop at the moment before the ambush, the air heavy with lead that hasn't flown yet, and a town holding its breath.If you're drawn to Old West history, railroad town politics, true crime on the frontier, and the anatomy of honor cultures colliding with new power, this chapter delivers vivid storytelling, textured context, and a cliff that promises a hard landing.

30 years in the barrel. $1,200 price tag. A mysterious mash bill and just 42 barrels blended. We dive into Blade & Bow 30 Year Bourbon and break down the dusty funk, cherry Smarties, pecan pie richness, and whether this ultra-aged release truly outshines the usual trophy bottles.

Frankie Ballard burst onto the country rock scene in 2010 with grit in his voice and gasoline in his veins, scoring three consecutive No. 1 hits, including Sunshine & Whiskey and racking up nearly a billion global streams. He toured with legends, lived on the road more than 200 days a year, and embodied the carefree, hard-driving spirit his songs celebrated. But behind the success, the pace was unsustainable. By 2020, the chase for approval and constant motion had taken its toll. Ballard stepped away from the spotlight, started a family, and quietly deepened his faith. What followed wasn’t a rebrand, it was a realignment. In 2025, he returned with The Messenger, a gospel-leaning, scripture-rooted record infused with blues and rock conviction. Then came “Money Runs Out,” a sharp reflection on loyalty, loss, and what remains when fame fades. Today, Frankie Ballard isn’t chasing charts, he’s chasing truth. Grounded in fatherhood, disciplined in faith, and unafraid of hard questions, his music now carries the weight of lived experience. This isn’t a comeback. It’s a reckoning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
