Welcome to Lax Historical Context! Sasha and Sean are two jovial nerds who decided to take their love of whiskey and history and see if anyone wanted to listen to them drink the former and talk about the latter. Each episode features them reviewing a different drink accompanying a random, usually unrelated topic that is at least vaguely historical in nature. Sometimes full of hot air, sometimes offensive, and often both at the same time, Lax Historical Context is the history podcast for people who don’t take life too seriously.
