205 - Ayahuasca Laced Moldovan Wine
Heya cuz, feeling fresh?
Nightclubs, bar scene Instagram, kefir comebacks and the magic of Polish shops.
204 - The Pyrmamids of Geeza
Look at you go, fair play to ya.
Today on the podcast we’re exploring everything from “What’s that under the Pyramids at Giza?” to “Is listening to Joe Rogan a bad thing? Yes, but also kind of no,” and we finish on “Kefir, drink it.”
203 - Picky Bits
Today it’s all about the sheer power of ‘picky bits,’ plus some thoughts on how to effectively become ‘East London’ in a single day, all while taking in a few top-class cocktail bars.
202 - Solo Travel & The Seaside
Today we’re chatting about the perfect breakfast, solo travel, Mama Juana, the seaside, and the oddities of food & drink labelling. We also get into how we’re feeling coming into the new year, which, if we had to guess, is probably close to how you’re feeling too.
201 - Backstreets of Barcelona
Matt disappears off to Spain and the UK for an event packed adventure, Mike picks up a case of man-flu, and we kick off the new year with freshly squeezed juice and questionable decisions.
199 - OLENTZERO
Hey there, are you feeling merry and festive, have you watched the newest season of Fallout yet, are all the presents wrapped?
Today = Kneecap Poitín, Spanish Santa and the the feeling of coming home.
198 - Love Letter
Recently, we visited our friends Anne, David and Sally at 51 Cornmarket for food and drinks that made us want to stand up and spin in circles. That was followed by wine across the road at Plugd Records with our other beautiful friend Brian O’Connor of Brian’s Wines—this time the kind of wine that makes you sit back down and spin your chair instead.
Here, we recount that experience, followed by a recap of our most recent Christmas Party. Tune in and stay sound x
197 - Remy Savage
Today, we’re joined by Remy Savage: philosopher, man of drinks, appreciator of French-style sandwiches, and most importantly a sincerely genuine human who’s relentlessly invested in the pursuit of perfection—whether that’s drink development or simply how a bar feels.
196 - All the happening, attractive people.
We’ve recently realised that most of our friends and listeners are genuinely happening, attractive people.
Today, we’re having what we feel is a forward-moving, positive critique of how modern large drinks brands approach “care” in their physical workplaces and venues.
195 - Ah, Hola!
Today, Mike is in the Canaries turning 34, and Matthew is thinking about getting a haircut after a recent trip to Mo Chara in Dundalk. Sometimes life really is that simple.
194 - Nomunication
Nomunication is Japan’s social cheat code: drink together, talk freely. It turns hierarchy into honesty, awkwardness into ease, and the afterwork pint into a pressure release valve. A cultural loophole with a buzz, today we compare that with our own seeming lack of positive drinking culture in Ireland.
193 - Brendan Carty
Today we’re joined by Brendan Carty, owner and head distiller at Killowen Distillery. Alongside a small, committed team, Brendan is hard at work crafting some of the finest spirits produced on the island of Ireland — including Irish Poitín, Whiskey, Rum, Gin, and Liqueur.
Pound for pound, Killowen might just be producing some of the best spirit in the world — in our opinion, anyway.
Tune in and stay sound x
192 - Back to Bars
When is the last time you took a punt on a bar you’ve never been to before?
190 - The President of Argentina cloned his Dog six times
The title of todays podcast really captures the essence of what we talked about, come join us.
189 - Habitual Rituals
This week we’re thinking out loud about evening rituals and habits, from a glass of whiskey or vino with a movie to a bit of doomscrolling on those slower nights that creep in now and then.
188 - Pub Quiz Part Three
It’s part three of our Pub Quiz series, easing us into those colder, darker nights.
187 - Bartenders
This one’s part love letter to bartenders, part look at the different personalities we’ve come across in the bar world so far.
