I’ll toast to this podcast

What a wonderful mix of learning; religion and drinks. It truly is a podcast in search of De beata vita.

JJCharles25 ,

What a Joy

This podcast is a joy. It is like gathering around the kitchen island making cocktails with (very smart and delightfully funny) friends. So much learned about cocktail culture, theology, lives of the saints…so fun!

I hope they make a drink for Saint Joseph’s Day

Great new podcast; unique how it approaches the faith in a very fun way. I hope they make a new drink for Saint Joseph’s Day.
