Beer: The Dude's Rug from B. Nektar Meadery (Ferndale, Michigan)

Poetry: "Eye Leve" by Jenny Xie (Graywolf Press, 2018)

Girl Crush: Maria Taylor, sports commentator and UGA grad

We said we would be back, and we're holding up our end of the promise! For episode 41, Alyx and Erica discuss The Dude's Rug — a cider with chai spices from B. Nektar — and Erica gives a quick lesson on The Big Lebowski. (Disclaimer, Erica re-watched the movie after recording this episode and apologizes for the plot inaccuracies in her recap. It was fueled by the time she watched the movie five years ago). Alyx also brings poetry from Eye Level by Jenny Xie, a book that highlights belonging, travel, immigration and finding yourself.

Grab a beer or other beverage and grab a book, and enjoy the ride! Also please get vaccinated.
