    Vodka: Wars, Empires, and Culture (wars) [Re-Release]
    Apr 24 2026

    [Originally Released: 25 March 2022]

    Vodka: What it is, where it's from, its role in the rise and fall of empires and … barbarians? Again?

    This episode is especially relevant to current events, and hopes to elucidate otherwise confusing issues around boycotting Russian Vodka: it has history, scandal, and irresistible international intrigue, especially considering the host isn't even a fan of the neutral spirit itself.

  • Orange / Amber Wines [Re-Release]

    Orange / Amber Wines [Re-Release]
    Apr 10 2026

    (Originally released Oct 25, 2019)

    This orange (amber) wine episode discusses winemaking, the origins of the style, and what makes them unique. They aren't red wines, despite skin maceration and fermentation. They aren't white wines, despite being made with white grapes. And they are not rose' wines. They are their own thing, and are the subject of much more press and literature than a decade ago.
