We're back with H.M. Lawson, author of "Mystery In Mapleton". In this oopsisode, or inter-oops-a-view, we talk to Hillary about her boutique plublishing company. We also get her to try some more whiskey. KOVAL's Thresh & Winnow Millet whiskey. If you'd like to see more about her publishing company, click HERE. To read more about Thresh & Winnow, click HERE.
On this episode, we sit down with local Author, HM Lawson and her book "Mystery in Mapleton". Out bourbon selection is The Devil's Whip from 3 Floyds Distilling. It was an absolute delight to sit down and chat with Hillary about writing, storytelling, childhood experiences, and how they all relate to her book. The story is fun and fast paced in a slow paced world. Evoking images of long summers spent outdoors with friends, this book is a great read for all members of the family, not just the kids!

We're back with Will Woodington, National Brand Ambassador for Chicken Cock Whiskey. In this oopsisode, we talk about 170th anniversary of the Chicken Cock name.
The art of story comes in many forms. Books and tales. Songs and poetry. There is also story in the things we do. The objects (and liquids) that we touch. On this episode, Stephen and Mark interview Will Woodington, National Brand Ambassador for Chicken Cock Whiskey. In this first of a series of interviews for Season 6, Mr. Woodington will tell us the story of the Chicken Cock name, the people behind it, it's history, and what it is doing today. For our sampling, we will explore three different offerings from Chicken Cock, luxuriating in the flavors of history, hard work, and passion that goes into the creation of these fantastic whiskies. Visit the Chicken Cock website HERE.
Stephen and Mark get lost again with Wanderers by Chuck Wendig. To help them guide their own home (or detour them into the future) they will revisit Town At The Edge of Tomorrow from Filmland Spirits Chuck Wendig Filmland Spirits
SEASON 6 PREMIER! For the first episode of Season 6, Stephen and Mark visit one of their favorite destinations, the end of the world. They'll meander their way toward it in the novel Wanderers by Chuck Wendig. A trip to the apocalypse needs an appropriately named beverage. Tonight's bourbon is Bloody Butcher by Whiskey Acres.
Be sure to listen all the way to the end. Stephen wants to make sure you know how much he likes this.
IT'S THE FINAL OOPSISODE OF SEASON 5!!!!!! In this quick turnaround oopsisode, we revisit The Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig. Our bourbon revisit this time around is Oak & Eden 4 Grain Spire. Chuck Wendig: Terribleminds – Apple-Obsessed Author Fella oakandeden.com/collections/inspired-series
IT'S THE SEASON 5 FINALE!!! A heartfelt thank you to all of our listeners this and every season thus far. We're very excited about what we will be doing in Season 6. Keep us on your favorites. Turn on those notifications. Leave us some stars. Tell all your buddies, and get ready. Season 6 is going to be amazing. We wrap up Season 5 with a modern day horror novel from the famous, infamous, apple-licious Chuck Wendig. Like many of his books, The Staircase in the Woods is a character driven horror story that both embraces common tropes while twisting some or introducing entirely new ones. It's a special and uncommon kind of story. Kind of like our pick of beverage on this episode. J. Henry & Sons Reserva Sevilana Straight Rye is so uncommon, they had to go across an ocean to get all of the ingredients. Our Rye | Discover Our Unique Taste — J. Henry & Sons Chuck Wendig: Terribleminds – Apple-Obsessed Author Fella
When a good (or absurd) conversation just isn't over. We talk more about existing inside a memory of a universe. Hand Picked Single Barrel Bourbon
Are we the echoing memory of an already dead universe, that echo pulsing forever outward into the black depths of what exists outside what we know as reality? Does that mean all of our choices have already been made? Are we stuck inside the memory of a deus ex machina that repeats itself over and over in the silent black? Well, looks like it's going to be one of THOSE episodes. Good thing we have Middle West Ported Pumpernickel Rye to keep the ennui at bay!

It's not a repeat! We just decided that both the book and the bourbon needed a revisit...WITH A TWIST. Windupstories.com - Fiction by Paolo Bacigalupi EMERALD GIANT - Craft Rye Whiskey - Redwood Empire Whiskey
Do you like big Italian dramas? Do you enjoy Machiavelian style politics? How do you about the occasional eye gouging? Do you have any thoughts on vague, subtley applied mystical themes? How about generally forbidden love? What's that? You like all of it, you sick twisted puppy? Then we have the book for you! On this episode, we explore the deeply nuanced grimdark epic of "Navola" by Paolo Bacigalupi. Really, this one is rich and complex. So much so that we need an equally rich and complex bourbon to pair with it. For this book, we picked Emerald Giant Rye from Redwood Empire as the perfect bottle to go with this story.

This is one of those oopsisodes where it's not so much that we forgot, but rather that there's just too much to say. This week, we revisit The Life of Chuck by Stephen King. While we discuss the power of opportunities taken, we take the opportunity to revisit a previous expression. Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke. Stephen King | The Life of Chuck Subtle Smoke Bourbon | Basil Hayden®
Stephen King has a habit of putting his strongest messages into his shortest of works. Stand By Me (The Body), Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Life of Chuck is no exception. First of all, read it. No. Really. READ IT. Then go and watch the movie. No no. Really. WATCH THE MOVIE. The Life of Chuck is the affirmation of life that we need in the world we live in today. It doesn't assure us that all will be well, or even that everything will work out just the way we want or hope or think we deserve. No, but it does affirm to us all this. Each of us, every single one of us, are more than we suppose. Not just that, but additionally, who we are, what we experience, what we dream and hope and imagine, absolutely all of it, is important in some way and to some one. Our pairing on this episode is Ryes of the Robots by Filmland Spirits. We felt it was appropriate. This is a fantastic rye whiskey, and we're looking forward to telling you all about it.

BODYBALL!!!! In this Oopsisode, the boys discuss one of the more horrific/grossest/hilarious parts of "From Below" by Darcy Coates. To keep themselves sane, the boys revisit an old friend, Thomas S. Moore Bourbon finished in sherry casks. Darcy Coates – Horror and Suspense Author NOTE There is no official website for Thomas S Moore anymore that we can find. It is a product of the Barton 1792 Distillery. If you can find it still on the retail market or other venues, don't miss the chance to pick up a bottle.
On this episode of BBB, Stephen and Mark review a book from Darcy Coates, an author known for her prolific collection of haunted house stories. In From Below, Darcy Coates turns the haunted house story on its head, and takes us on an adventure deep into the ocean and the past. To keep them afloat, Stephen and Mark will be sampling Old Elk Cigar Cut, Islander Blend. Darcy Coates – Horror and Suspense Author Specialty Products — Old Elk
On this episode, Stephen and Mark talk about forbidden relationships in the story. Hilarious and tragic, the boys will make everything better by revisiting Penelope Toasted Bourbon Whiskey. Home - Joe Abercrombie Toasted Bourbon – Penelope Bourbon
