It's the April edition of Old Fashioned Friday. We take listener questions and enjoy some Buffalo Trace Old Fashioneds. This month, we sat at the bar of Blockhouse in Franklin, TN while we recorded. Check them out if you're looking for a good barber or a good cocktail. http://www.theblockhouse.net. Speaking of, thank you to our wonderful presenting sponsor: Buffalo Trace Bourbon: made at the legendary 200-year-old Buffalo Trace Distillery, the world’s most award-winning distillery. It's a delicious bourbon you can drink neat, on the rocks or in cocktails, like our Old Fashioneds. Post how you like to enjoy Buffalo Trace with #TastetheTrace, and learn more at BuffaloTrace.com.

Justify Scandal, Country Music, and Dolly's America

This is a tangent filled Potluck folks. Will and Chris talk about all the usual things (i.e. Sean Brock, Birmingham, NYT articles), but they have some fun diversions into intellectual property law and how to count years. All while recording from an empty, soon-to-be baby's nursery. Hope you enjoy! Thanks to our wonderful sponsors:  Eli Mason - A special September only event!
