In the nick of time for the most wonderful time of the year, comes our Christmas special! Just like Santa Claus with gifts of joy for the masses comes the boys gift to you, part 1 of Christopher Moore's "Lamb the gospel according to Biff Christ's childhood friend!" There is more to this book than meets the eye. It has comedy, heart ache, action, and a lot more. The boys had their fair share of laughs through the discussion of this book. As is par for the course, this episode went long so it was split into a two parter. Just as a bit of a warning, the subject content of this book is a little on the mature side. So this isn't a story for ye young ones. From our families to yours, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Just in time for the release of Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker the love letter to the Star Wars universe continues with part 2. In this episode the conversation all but deviates way past the book and goes to the galaxy far far away. We really hope that the last episode in the Skywalker saga does the series justice. However the movie ends up the boys will have something to talk about for years to come. May the Force be with you!

You can tell that it is almost Christmas time by the way the boys were ready and rearing to jump in headfirst to discuss Star Wars! By far this was the single longest continuous conversation the boys have had on this podcast. So long in fact it wound up being split into two episodes. This first part the boys introduce “Legends of Luke Skywalker” by Ken Liu and for those of you who like audio books, January LaVoy narrates the audio version (and does a spectacular job)! If you haven’t already figured it out all three of the guys are major Star Wars geeks. The conversation quickly goes off on many tangents.

This week the boys finish their conversation on JK Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." The boys discuss whether Professor Snape is a villain or a hero, the transformation of Neville Longbottom, loyalty, the marauders map, and more. Also,during the intro Mike stirred the pot a bit between Jonathon and Nick by bringing up a book that Jonathon loves and Nick, well Nick doesn't like it at all. A future episode over that books is in the works for 2020.

In a bit of a change up the boys move to a favorite of those young and old, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" by JK Rowling. Book three in the series starts to change pace from a kids book to a young adult book as both the characters and the readers are getting older. The themes in this book do start to deal with death, loss, and other more serious topics. In part one the boys set the stage for where Harry is at as he is preparing to head back to his third year of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Apparently Jonathon did not get the cue that they ended part one as he kept going while Mike and Nick went on with their lives over the week. This episode the boys finish up Ann Rice's "Interview with a Vampire" with a little bit of flare.

In this episode the boys continue the Halloween theme with "Interview with a Vampire" by Anne Rice. This is the first book in her Vampire Chronicles series. This book was adapted to the silver screen with Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst, Stephen Rea, Antonio Banderas, and Christian Slater. The boys get through the first half of the book when they have to cut Johnathon off, who would have kept on his diatribe for another hour! This is a fun episode to listen too. Please give the show a like, follow, rate, review, and go ahead and subscribe while you are at it!

On this spooky special Halloween Edition of the Books over Beer Podcast, the boys discuss some chilling and haunting tales throughout history. Are aliens, the third man, the yeti, and ghost real? What do you believe? Mike and Nick respond to real life stories read by Jonathon. Happy old Hallows Eve everyone!!!

In the final episode covering Dr. Ron Paul’s “The Revolution – A Manifesto”, the boys discuss civil liberties, personal freedoms, money, the NSA (We love what you guys do keep it up, also give us a like, comment, rate, and review!), and is this the episode Jonathon and Mike get Nick to say Taxation is Theft!

This episode Nick hijacked the show to play his interview with Terri Stacy of WIBC. Terri dropped a huge plug for the BoB podcast and we could not thank her enough for the support.
