    Come As You Are

    Come As You Are

    Tiffanie Barriere, the drinking coach herself sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about her long and storied career behind - and in front of - many different bars. From the iconic “One Flew South” in Atlanta’s airport to helping empower folks who want to change the world, Tiffanie has been in lots of different situations and she’s been unapologetically herself in every single one. Tune in for a conversation that gets surprisingly deep about self-worth, the challenge of elevating black voices in a very white space, and the challenge of assigning a value to your work. 

    Plus (on a lighter note), White Claw has finally made an innovation that modern science had said was impossible. You heard it here first, the future is now. 

    Additionally, here at HRN we’re celebrating our 15th year and deepening our commitment to giving voice to the next generation of food systems storytellers. And we need your help.

    Spinning Plates of Caviar

    Spinning Plates of Caviar

    The one and only Ms. Franky Marshall sits down with the band to talk about a singular career in the drinks industry. Cognac, events, behind the bar, in front of the bar, she’s done it all and tells all on an episode that’s very fun and very (sorry about this) frank. Plus, are there too many or too few agave? Journalists can’t seem to agree, even though whatever the answer, it’s bad. And, Sother’s check from Anheuser-Busch finally arrives. Tune in to hear how justice sounds in real time.

    Under the Influencers

    Elliott Clark, you’ve made it to eighty thousand followers! What are you gonna do now? That’s the question on everyone’s mind as Elliott, aka Apartment Bartender sits down with the band to talk building a personal brand, surviving the attention economy, and becoming a dad. He also talks about the process of writing and putting together his new book “Let’s Do Drinks” which is out in April and available for preorder now. 

    Plus, is Jimmy Fallon trolling us? The band talks about a new sketch with Fallon, Keegan Michael Key, and a special guest appearance by Boy George that seems an awful lot like it’s making fun of us, or at least who we used to be ten years ago.

    The Right Blend

    The Right Blend

    Blending. Distilling. What does it mean to “make” whiskey? Eboni Major joins Greg and Sother live from Birmingham, Alabama, to break down a day in the life of a whiskey blender (spoiler alert, there are a lot more spreadsheets than you might think), discuss her often winding path through the world of food and beverage, and open up about what it’s like as a Black woman in the bar community to hold a former employer accountable. Plus, real life vs. VR. Greg and Sother talk about what it was like finally being in the same room together and Greg shares the results of a head-to-head bartending challenge between a chatbot and a bunch of regular-ass humans.

    I Did Not Get ChatGPT to Name This Episode

    It’s a three-on-three pod-off as Rob, Greg, and Ariana from the “Drinking With Robots” podcast sit down with Greg, Sother, and Damon from… well, you know. The DWR team is getting ready to launch a second season of their show, which pits human bartenders against chatbots in a battle for cocktail supremacy, but first they come on the show to talk the rise (and pitfalls) of generative AI, what it’s like to compare people with robots, and the unexpected pairing of a bespoke bitters company and Microsoft. Plus… crab whiskey? …there’s nothing else to say just… crab whiskey? Tune in to find out.

    Whyn?

    Whyn?

    Live from the future (and Australia) Aaron Trotman sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about Non, his zero-proof… wine? Wine alternative? Liquid? Beyond the failure of the English language to discuss these drinks the convo covers what’s in them, where the inspiration for a non-alc comes from, and whether or not Dry January is a good thing. Plus, James Beard nods are out, and a couple entries from New York made the list - one you’re expecting and one that may surprise you.

    Year of the Rabbit

    Year of the Rabbit

    All the way from South Korea, Bran Hill joins the band to talk about Tokki Soju - what it is, how it’s made and most importantly, how it’s being sold these days to a customer base that’s just getting to know it here in the U.S., and it rediscovering it in its home country. Plus, it’s awards season! A certain restaurant themed show is racking up the trophies this year but what does that mean for those of us who’ve actually lived it, instead of just playing it on TV?

    Singani's 63

    Singani's 63

    Happy New Year Everybody! The band rings in 2024 with very special guests Luis Granier and Steven Soderbergh of Singani 63. The conversation ranges from what the heck Singani is anyway, to getting it behind bars, to the centuries old tradition of growing these very special grapes high in the mountains of Bolivia to - of course, because it’s Damon - the bottle design. An extra special set of guests and a really unique spirit, what’s not to love? Plus, is New Years Eve getting tamer or is the band just getting older? Further study is needed.

    ‘23 and Me

    ‘23 and Me

    In the return of their multi-platinum end-of-year wrapup show, Damon, Sother, and Greg look back on 2023, the year that… sort of was? From labor trends to increasingly odd spirits to the seemingly inexhaustible longevity of the Espresso Martini, there’s a lot to talk about and a lot to look forward to. Oh yeah, and we made a pretty cool cocktail box and won a pretty cool plate too.

    Rox and Roll

    Rox and Roll

    From microscopy to distilling and back again, Rox Tiburolobo has had quite the life. This week he sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about the wild, winding path that led him to Corning & Company Distillers (by way of Helsinki) and all the places he’s drawn inspiration from along the way, including the ancestral corn beers made by indigenous communities. A distiller of Chiricahua Apache Nde and Rarámuri descent, Rox talks about how that’s inspired him and how we can do better with indigenous representation in the drinks community. Plus, Greg’s back behind the bar! Come see him Wednesdays at Boulton & Watt, should you happen to be in the neighborhood, and find out what’s changed about bartending in the last four years.
