Words And Whiskey

We are Words and Whiskey, your new intoxicating weekly book club. This project began during the doldrums of 2020 as a way for Krossland and PJ to explore fiction that his co-host knew he'd enjoy. We also hope it encourages others to join in, follow along, and probably make fun of our opinions too. We also adore the craft of alcohol, and craft alcohol. Alcohol craft? We hope you enjoy stepping into our dark oak library, pouring a snifter of whiskey, and listening to us have a chat.

Sun Eater Introduction

PJ's Words and Whiskey Finale

Hey there folks - This episode is a special one, as we end the first 'era' of the podcast. Today, we say goodbye to PJ. We answered a TON of listener questions, and got extra silly, since we were in person together for this one. This episode was recorded immediately following The First Law wrap-up podcast, and was especially saucy. We'll all miss the damn lad, won't we? I'll note, while we did our best on editing/production, this is a bit more janky than I'd like. We've got a professionally polished version coming in the next two weeks, so this will likely be updated. Regardless, it still captures the soul of what we wanted, and the fun we had on the show.
