100th Episode Extravaganza at Canal Street Pub

We made it to 100 Episodes! To celebrate this Beer Busters milestone we held a live podcast celebration at Canal Street Pub and invited a slew of past podcast guests to come out and share in the festivities. We have been overwhelmed by the support of the craft beer community in the years since we first launched Beer Busters, and this event only served to solidify how awesome so many of the friends we’ve made along the way truly are. Words cannot express our gratitude for the generosity our fans and friends showed on this momentous occasion, and throughout the life of Beer Busters. We want to truly and deeply thank all of you, everyone who has been on the show, everyone who has supported us and, especially, to all of our fans who have taken this journey with us. There would never have been 100 episodes without all of you. And here’s to 100 more!

Stacked Episode of the Spanspek podcast with 4 guest plus 2 hosts. Israel and Kenny are joined by Cristobal, Ricky Ramirez and Emelia and Sam from band Sci-Fi Caper.  They talk details on this years Spanspek Music and Arts Festival, the legacy of Juan Gabriel, Sr. Mix-A-Lot's 'Put Them On The Glass' and Sam turns the tables by asking Cristobal and Israel the hard-hitting questions.

The first annual Irenicast Christmas episode is a super-sized massive mishmash holiday extravaganza. This week the three hosts play a Christmas Cheer quiz, talk about magic and the “feeling” of Christmas, discuss favorite gift memories, analyze the “War” on Christmas (apparently, it’s over?), chat about favorite Christmas music and movies, and talk about what Biblical mistranslations in the Luke narrative might mean. Finally, Mona serenades us all for the very first time with a little acoustic version of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Happy holidays to all and to all a good night!
