Scotch and Socialism is a podcast where your hosts sample a different Scotch each season and dive into a current social, political, or economic issue each episode. We are regular dudes, scotch enthusiasts, open to thoughtful opinions and arguments, nerds. We are not pushing an agenda, discriminatory against any kind of human, afraid of touching on taboo or controversial topics or targeting an individual or group. If we cover a topic that touches a nerve, or that raises questions or objections in your mind, feel free to reach out - who knows, we may invite you on the next episode.
