Live @ Casa de Ocho, Venice Beach EP|357

To celebrate Mexican Independence Day, Dan takes the show on the road—or at least down the street—for a special live episode recorded in front of an audience on the rooftop of Casa de Ocho, Tequila Ocho’s pop-up in the heart of Venice Beach. Joining Dan is his old friend Zane Lamprey, comedian, author, world traveler, and legendary host of the seminal drinking shows Three Sheets and Drinking Made Easy, along with Philip Khandehrish, longtime tequila expert and Brand Ambassador for Tequila Ocho and Heaven Hill Brands. Philip gives Dan and Zane the full Ocho education, from the late, great Tomás Estes and master distiller Carlos Camarena to single-estate agave, vintage harvests, terroir, and what makes Ocho one of the most distinctive tequilas on the planet. Along the way, Dan and Zane look back at the early days of covering drinking culture, how wildly the booze business has changed since then, and share probably far more information about themselves than anyone in attendance actually asked for. Tequila was involved. These things happen. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

From the Vault: Coffee Talk with Maynard James Keenan

Dan has been away on a much-needed vacation, so this week we’re reaching into the vault for an encore presentation of one of our most-listened-to episodes of 2024. It’s a very special caffeinated edition of the show, as Dan turns his attention to his other liquid obsession: coffee. Joining him is none other than Maynard James Keenan. Yes, that Maynard—vocalist for Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer, not to mention the man behind Caduceus Cellars, Merkin Vineyards and Queen B Vinyl Cafe, his Arizona coffee-roasting venture. Dan also serves up hot takes on two of his go-to java brands, La Colombe and Free Rein. Along the way, there’s a story about Bruce Springsteen, a heartfelt tribute to a Van Halen cover band, and enough coffee talk to keep you wired until Dan returns with a brand-new episode.

Bourbon Hall of Famer Fred Minnick EP|356

Whiskey legend Fred Minnick joins Dan and Brad Japhe to celebrate his upcoming induction into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame and, naturally, they mark the occasion by opening some very good bottles. The lineup includes Old Fitzgerald 7-Year Bottled in Bond, Old Grand-Dad 114 Single Barrel, Jefferson’s Ocean and Founder’s Reserve 20 Year, Four Roses Single Barrel, and Booker’s Milkshake Batch. Fred also discusses his powerful new book, Bottom Shelf: How a Forgotten Brand of Bourbon Saved One Man’s Life, which blends memoir with the fascinating history of Old Crow. It’s the story of Fred’s return from the Iraq War, his decades-long obsession with whiskey, and how taste, history, and one largely forgotten bourbon helped him find purpose and ultimately build one of the most influential careers in American whiskey.

History at Work: Labor Day Special

In this special stand-alone edition of History at Work and in the Making, Dan digs into the surprisingly rowdy origins of America’s end-of-summer holiday, Labor Day, from brutal 19th-century working conditions and the disputed father of Labor Day to the first parade in 1882, where thousands of workers celebrated afterward with lager kegs mounted “in every conceivable place.” Plus: the Pullman Strike, Grover Cleveland’s suspiciously well-timed peace offering to organized labor, and how a holiday born from the fight for workers’ rights became synonymous with barbecues, cold beer, long weekends, and inexplicably cheap mattresses.

The ABCs of Drinking EP|355

Dan is going back to school. Sort of. Inspired by his childhood love of Sesame Street, he works his way through The ABCs of Drinking, assigning each letter of the alphabet a word from the wonderful world of adult beverages. From Alcohol, Booze, and Cocktail to Glencairns, Hair of the Dog, Quaffing, and Zima, Dan blends drinking history and trivia with personal stories and the kind of questionable wisdom you won’t find in any textbook. Along the way, he explains how a thesaurus helped launch his career, defends one of Tom Cruise’s most critically reviled movies, considers how moonshine went from outlaw whiskey to something you can buy with rewards points, and wonders why humanity has invented so many damn words for drinking.

Dan's Got Cranial Leakage EP|354

Dan’s supposed to be on vacation. Supposed to be. But apparently staying away from a microphone is harder than it looks. In this short-and-slightly-unhinged episode, he suffers a bout of cranial leakage, ranting about the scourge of party invite apps before taking a strange stroll down memory lane and wondering whether it might be time to resurrect Revenge Fantasies, the very short-lived podcast he once co-hosted devoted to, well, fantasizing about revenge. It’s quick. It’s loose. It’s what happens when Dan goes on vacation and fails miserably at actually going on vacation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

3-Minute Bartender: Pornstar Martini

Dan is on vacation this week, presumably somewhere making a bartender regret asking, “What can I get you?” So we’re dipping into the archives for a Best of edition of 3-Minute Bartender, featuring one of the world’s most provocatively named cocktails: the Pornstar Martini. Dan traces the drink back to legendary London bartender Douglas Ankrah, explains how the Maverick Martini got its much more memorable name, and shows you how to make the modern classic with vanilla vodka, passion fruit liqueur, passion fruit purée, vanilla sugar, and the all-important sidecar of Champagne. Plus, variations including the Pornstar Royale, Spicy Pornstar, Pornstar Spritz, and Darkstar Martini. And, because apparently the cocktail’s name wasn’t enough, a couple of deeply regrettable adult-film jokes to finish things off. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Rolling Stones Are Rockin' Rum EP|353

This week we welcome one of the most influential figures in the rum world: Ian Burrell, founder of UK RumFest, the world's first international rum festival, and the man known throughout the spirits industry as the Global Rum Ambassador. For nearly two decades, Ian has been on a mission to elevate rum's reputation, introducing millions of people to the depth, diversity, and history of one of the world's most misunderstood spirits. Most recently, Ian teamed up with master blender Cairbry Hill and The Rolling Stones to co-create Crossfire Hurricane Rum, a premium Jamaican rum inspired by the band's deep connection to Jamaica and the island's legendary rum-making tradition. We talk about the fascinating story behind the collaboration, Jamaica's enormous influence on music and rum, where the category is headed, and, of course, we taste some exceptional juice along the way. Plus, in this week's Booze News, we raise a glass to an 82-year-old Minnesota woman who refused to accept a ban on alcohol at her retirement community... and won. If there's a more inspiring story about aging gracefully (with a cocktail in hand), we haven't heard it. So pour yourself something rum-licious and join us for another spirited conversation on What We're Drinking with Dan Dunn. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
