    Man Therapy: More Than Just A Beer With The Guys

    Man Therapy: More Than Just A Beer With The Guys

    In 2021 80% of suicides in Ohio were men. 
    Enter MAN THERAPY, started in Colorado and adopted by Ohio in February of 2024, MAN THERAPY is a kind and yes-humorous way to approach men about therapy and feelings they never talk about because of stigmas, fears and opinions of others. 
    Tony Coder joined Whiskey Business for a frank and again- funny podcast about men and therapy. 
    MAN THERAPY with their faux psychiatrist, Dr. Rich Mahogany, helps men realize that’s “it’s ok to not be ok” and offers options on how to move forward. 
    It’s not clinical. It’s not medical. But it’s definitely helpful and a great tool for getting on path to better mental health. Listen to some frank and honest discussions, revelations and maybe even take the “head test” to see where you may be or where you can direct the man in your life you care about. And then you can buy him a beer.

    Social Media Monster 2024: More Monster

    Social Media Monster 2024: More Monster

    In September of 2022, filmmaker Peter Jon Ross joined us to talk about his documentary SOCIAL MEDIA MONSTER, a film about an internet troll who he’s battled for more than a decade. It was our most listened to and watched podcast on Whiskey Business. The documentary is now out and available to stream. Ross returned to Whiskey Business to update us on the film, the battle and other amazing things that have transpired since his last visit. The story was fascinating and compelling two years ago and still is in 2024. If you’ve ever been trolled, it’s almost required listening. If you haven’t…count your blessings and listen nonetheless.

    Getting "Down to the Felt"

    Getting "Down to the Felt"

    Whiskey Business came back from hiatus right around the same time the largest local independent film ever made in Columbus, DOWN TO THE FELT wrapped on principal photography. Coincidence? No. Our host for Whiskey Business was one of the writers and producers of the film and he along with Director/Writer/Producer Jon Osbeck and Writer/Producer Ralph Scott, sat on the guest side of the table as John Whitney, Greg Hansberry and Chip Kocel asked all the burning movie questions. The Down To The Felt story is a journey into independent filmmaking and still has the post production process to go through. But it IS a testament to what can be done in Columbus, Ohio with the right talents, the right crew and yeah…a little bit of luck and serendipity. Go “all in” and enjoy this return to Whiskey Business.

    Hope Madden & George Wolf: OSCAR-HEIMER!

    Hope Madden & George Wolf: OSCAR-HEIMER!

    Another Oscar year is nearing but it wouldn’t be official for us here at Whiskey Business without our annual visit from George Wolf and Hope Madden from The Screening Room podcast. 
    There may appear to be some slam dunks if you’re in an Oscar pool, but I’m going to suggest you listen up/or watch to see if some upsets are predicted as well in our discussion of Oscar gold. 
    If you love the movies it’s one of our favorite podcasts of the year. And if you only saw BARBIE, this is your chance to get educated before Oscars are awarded on March 10, 2024. 
    That being said, I’d like to thank the podcast academy, my audio and video producers, my family who seldom listens…

A Remarkable Podcast for Intelligent Drinkers

A friend suggested that I listen to Whiskey Business, and I am now obsessed with it. The concept is witty & briskly fun, with the episodes featuring unexpected moments of emotional warmth amidst stories that are brilliantly engaging. Host Dino has a raging comic streak, a curiosity which propels fantastic interviews, and a voice that resonates with a bourbon caress. He shows respect for his guests, while also asking the questions that reveal both heartfelt emotion and underlying amusing base humor. Ralph Scott’s haunting stories had me enthralled, Travis Irvine had me laughing while respecting his journey, Alex Hastie of Ohio v. The World tells truly fascinating stories, and Dino’s mother was one of my very favorite guests on the podcast. I have taken umbrage with some of the comments made about agriculture, but perhaps this is an opportunity for Dino to interview a farmer to understand their perspective. Thank you to the Whiskey Business team for providing such a remarkable, educational, and amusing podcast!

A great listen!

Dino, can make anyone interesting (I know from experience). This podcast has a great mixture of comedy, booze and life lessons-quite the concoction!

Jonny O! ,

Hits all the marks!

This podcast just keeps getting better and better. It hits all the marks: funny, poignant, informative. Dino is great at getting his guests to open up and share their stories. He knows when to sit back and listen, when to dig deeper, and when to let loose. And great tips on the whiskeys, too! Keep ‘em coming!
