EPISODE 19! For this LDA episode of Branching Out, we start a new thing. Josh's own thing. Throughout his whole career, Charlotte Voisey has been one of Josh's guiding lights in the world of beverage alcohol and really just how to carry yourself while working. This interview is unlike any other in Branching Out's brief history. This also signifies a kind of summer break for us. We'll be back in September with full episodes.

Branching Out is written by Josh LIndley. Recorded at AXXN Pact Studios in Toronto. Production by Jesse Colburn and Aaron Verdonk.

Branching Out is produced by AXXN Pact in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

BRANCHING OUT EPISODE 17! From the very first episode we told you that we would treat this podcast like the opening of a bar. We know what we planned going into it but we aren't afraid to try out something different. Like late-night programming, or brunch.

This week's Branching Out (brunching out?) brings us into Josh's pile of notebooks. You get a peak into three different cocktails that have been served at various bars in Toronto over the last 15ish years.

Don't worry though, next week will be all about mentors again. We just thought you might like a little change-up every now and then.
