Whiskey Business

Take a forward thinking woman who wanted to create her own brand rather than pour her energies into someone else’s. An exacting pallet. A determination, ambition and a desire to focus totally on rye, and you get Wendy Peveich from Archer Eland. Join us, Wendy and five amazing bottles that we explored on Whiskey Business along with a great story on how a former cardiovascular nurse was introduced to spirits via a bottle of Blantons and decided she could bring something different to world. She has, and remarkably so. Enjoy this edition of Whiskey Business as much as we did making it happen.

With a nod and homage to Seinfeld in title only, comedian, actor, writer, George Caleodis returned to Whiskey Business to talk life, family, career, the threat of AI in show business and our rationale of when it’s good, all while enjoying a Red Wine Barrel of bourbon from Towpath Distillery. George never disappoints and is a favorite guest to have back on Whiskey Business.

Whiskey Business went remotely this week because we know when something’s gonna be worth the trip. Six months ago at RAFTERS, a longtime favorite bar on Indianola in Clintonville, the kitchen came back to life with FAT ARNIES, a delicious dream brought to life by a father and sons team, Christopher Beardman, Andrew Beardman, and the dad, Chris Beardman. What’s resulted is some of BEST empanadas, burgers, subs and more that you’ll ever have!We talked about the food, the path (it started by selling empanadas on the streets of Ecuador) and where they may go next. But for now, listen, watch and get yourself to Fat Arnies! Trust me. You’ll want to after this episode.

It’s Academy Award time and movie critics from Maddwolf, George Wolf and Hope Madden joined us once again with their pics and discussions as to who is gonna take home the gold! Tune in. Listen wherever you get your fave podcasts or watch on YouTube, Whiskey Business with Dino Tripodis. “And the Oscar goes to…”

“Deck the halls, with boughs of Johnny!”Whiskey Business took the holiday podcast to John Whitney’s house, our amazing videographer, as he is recovering from hip surgery. He must be on the mend, because he joined us for some Chattanooga Single Barrel Whiskey, and conversations about Christmas, kids, 2026 and more. All tied up with a lovely bow, it’s our Whiskey Business Christmas podcast. Merry Christmas and we’ll see you next year!
