Drinking With Comics
Started in 2014, Drinking with comics, is a podcast talk show where hosts Shawn Baker, Mike Wellman and Chris Saunders with Science Officer Jordan Munn discuss comics and comic culture while simultaneously explaining the many benefits of the drinks they’re having.
They have various formats on their podcast such as Half-Pints, Interviews etc. In one segment called The Genesis Of Preacher, Shawn and Chris drink, discuss and speculate on Season 2 of Preacher while comparing it to the original comic it is based on! Intrigued? Well, here you go!
Why Mommy Drinks
A humour-filled podcast for parents sees comedians and moms Betsy Stover and Amanda Allan invite a celeb guest on their show every week. This is followed by a chat with them on parenting that specifically drove them towards alcohol. Yep, that’s right. The best part of the podcast is that it falls in the no-guilt and no-preach zone where the guests can be tragically honest and also laugh their hearts out at their parenting experiences! Check it out here.
Drink And Learn
The name itself is self-descriptive we believe. Expert bartender Abigail Gullo and Elizabeth talk about the history of alcohol, its evolution, various social-cultural aspects related to different drinks and of course, a bit of drinking advice. So far they covered love potions, carnival drinking, how St. Patrick’s Day and Irish whiskey are inter-related and medical drinking. Hear them out here!
Drinking Socially
This is Untappd’s Official Podcast on Beer. It covers basically everything that is happening related to beer. Every episode they actually chug down beers and talk about it. A true beer nerd cannot afford to miss this podcast, because it is all-encompassing. Listen to it here.
