    Oct 10 2026

    We're back with TJ Payne! This time, we are talking about the narrator of the Intercepts audiobook, Mr. Joe Hempel. We've listened to a lot of his narrations. So, to be able to talk with an author that has worked with the man behind the voice is a great way to cap off the interview. Once again, thanks to TJ for being our guest on the show!

    Tonight's episode is roughly 25 years in the making as the boys review Storm Front, book 1 in the Dresden Files series. This entire series is just fun with fantastic characters, story arcs, and world building. Speaking of fantsastic character and world building, tonight's bourbon is Hard Truth Bourbon, aged with Mizunara wood staves. This is some pretty amazing stuff. We think you will like all of it.

  • Interview with Kari Pohar, Author
    Sep 12 2026

    Kari Pohar is an author here in our local community. Her latest novel is "Cassandra Seer: Psychic on the Run", and on this episode, Kari sits down with BBB to talk all about it. She even tries her first sip of bourbon! The story takes place in The Wisconsin Dells, and so it's only appropriate that our pairing is Driftless Glen Port Barrel Finished Bourbon. Like the bourbon, the story is all the best parts of Wisconsin wrapped up in a tale that is spooky, funny, and heartfelt. We think you're going to love both.
