Host Elena chats with guest Ryan Williams, sound engineer and long-time industry vet, about life in the music world and life behind the bar, the George Floyd protests & being a black male in America, including the realistic solutions that would help produce actual change (spoiler alert: it's not more cancel culture).

Host Elena chats with regular Roger Helgeson, a man of "too many interests", about creativity, compartmentalization, life during and after Covid, and the (maybe) small but meaningful ways he works to impact the world around him. If you're looking to be uplifted, definitely give this episode a listen.

Host Elena chats with regular Kelly Jane Torrance, accomplished journalist and Canadian native, about politics, the media industry, and the ever-increasing importance of curiosity and human connection. 

In  Free Pour's second episode, host Elena chats with longtime friend, fellow industry member & hip-hop artist, Daniel Wicke (aka Dan Dillinger), about pivotal moments, defining success, and the allure of working behind the bar. But, no bartender convo would be complete without swapping several crazy bar stories...
