Billy Joel is back, along with male fragility washed down with a Tastykake infused brew. Shit got weird.

Our 7th annual Franco Christmas Cast!!! Such a pleasure to welcome Franco Fiorini into the basement for another holiday cast. We started with store brand (it's fine) peppermint espresso poured over vodka and called a martini and it was delish. We could not handle the album. At all. Nor will you, but we should all give it another listen to be sure. Dickens crushed as usual, and this vingette seven years senior to his seminal Christmas Carol lets us, the modern reader, into his affection for this holiday of good will and redemption. Friendship and fellowship abound. Cheers to the beauty of companionship over these seven years!

A very special spooky cast with the always lovely Kailey Tedesco! Author of a new book of poetry about the mother of the Jersey Devil, Kailey picked an incredible cast for us. A translated story from Korean author Bora Chung, the 2014 offered from Button:Pusher, and the Von Trapp brewing keystone Vienna Lager. We chat childbearing, birth control, loss, and that weird time when She and Him dominated the airwaves.

This month we're joined by Tik Tok sensation, Nick Perilli, to discuss cosmic horror, classical music, and a seasonal offering from New Ridge Brewing.

A couple of paisanos dig into the gorgeous and anti-linear LEONE by Giandomenico and Colafella and somehow find their way to Mitamu's incredible debut Sunflower in the east, all while drinking that Italian standby, Peroni.
