Restless Spirits Restless Spirits Podcast

This week, we're talking all about Boulder, Colorado, and there's a little something for everybody. Taylor is talking about one of the most famous haunted locations in the U.S.: The Stanley Hotel. While Vin mixes up a drink that may or may not be the signature cocktail of Colorado (spoiler: it's not): The Snowball. And for our true crime fans out there, Taylor and Vin also have a brief discussion about the JonBenét Ramsey case. So, make yourself a Snowball and join us for our latest episode! 

While we love a good ghost story on this podcast, it was time to change things up a little bit this week. We're talking about Phoenix, Arizona this week. And when presented with one of the most famous mass UFO sightings in history, Taylor couldn't pass up the chance to dig a little deeper into the Phoenix Lights. Meanwhile, Vin is serving up a Tequila Sunrise and giving us the drink's rather musical history. So, get your tin foil hats ready as we explore Phoenix. 

If you're suddenly feeling the urge to drink craft cocktails and head to you local indie bookstore, don't be alarmed. This week, we're talking all about Portland, OR. But it isn't all bike rides and hipsters, as Taylor takes us underground to talk about the darker side of the city and the Shanghai Tunnels. Vin gives us THREE different cocktail options for this episode. We also digress a little to talk about vinyl records, but that's very on-brand for Portland, so we hope you'll forgive us. Now, grab your flannel shirt and a drink and join us as we explore Portland. 

What's that blowing into town? Why it's another episode of Restless Spirits! This week, we're in the Windy City: Chicago, IL. Home to Oprah, Barack Obama, and a lot of ghosts. To get us in the right mood for our journey around Chicago, Vin teaches us how to make a Chicago Fizz, as he and Taylor discuss the finer points of port. Then, we get ready for a stay in one of the city's most haunted hotels, The Congress Plaza Hotel. So haunted, in fact, it's said to have inspired Stephen King. So, get ready for a wild ride through Chicago. (Vin and Taylor also talk a little bit about their furry friends, Iris and Perry Como.) 

If you learn nothing else from this episode, it's that Taylor has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the T.V. show Full House. We're talking about San Francisco this week, y'all! Vin mixes up the most classic cocktail of them all, the Martini. While Taylor gives you an in-depth look at the Winchester Mystery House and all of its oddities. So, join on us on our rather hilly ride through San Francisco. 

Bienvenidos a Miami! We're bringing the heat this week with a trip to a city known for its beaches and parties, but less known for its ghosts, as we discovered. This week Vin brings us the Cuba Libre, which might be the easiest cocktail we've ever made on the show (though, somehow, Taylor still managed to get injured while attempting it). And Taylor tells us about two unique haunts - The Deering Estate and The Coral Castle. We're not saying aliens are involved in this episode...but aliens are definitely involved in this episode.
