This is a fantastic little-known podcast!

On every episode, housemates Kate (she’s not Josh!) and Josh (he’s not Kate!) talk about cocktails or cocktail components/accompaniments and popular culture. Taken as a whole, “Prefer Not To” offers a crash course on high-brow drinks and their history that even beer-and-cider-guzzlers such as myself can enjoy. They’ve also entertainingly discussed a ton of mainly obscure movies from the 1970s and beyond — some good, some not so good. Go ahead and give this pair a listen already!

Here's a copy of the review I wrote about “Prefer Not To” on May 21, 2014:

I have never been (and still am not) someone who drinks cocktails more than once in a blue moon.

Happily, interest in making or drinking cocktails is not required to enjoy “Prefer Not To.” Co-hosts Kate and Josh provide charming company while making engaging conversation, whether they’re reviewing movies, discussing popular culture or (yes) describing the pedigree and taste of the week’s alcoholic concoction. I give it five thumbs out of five!

Drinking and Movies go great together

The hosts have a great rapport and it's fun just to sit back and listen to them. Great show!
