It's a strange world we live in these days, and Mike is trying to make sense of it all, and not doing too well.  Stop by to find out what's got Mike all dazed and confused. A taste of a Northeast Scottish coastal whisky and a story of the Uppity Women of Nicaragua... oh by they way, Mike's up on a NSFW soapbox...so...  

In these dark and uncertain times, who can we look to as an example for sucess...at least in the long run?  Edgar Allan Poe may not be your first thought, but Mike thinks it should be, and he'll tell you why.  A super popular Single Malt from the northern highlands and an Uppity midwife story

Mike is back on his musical soapbox.  He has found, arguably, the greatest song.  No dis-respect to Ms. Franklin, but this one wins, hands down.  A great Speyside whisky to pair with this great song, and a timely, pandemic related Uppity Woman story

Nothing gets Mike more fired up than messing around with classic rock...And boy has Rolling Stone Magazine stepped in it this time.  Mike is definitely not happy, and he wants you know why

Winston Churchill said "History is written by the victors"... but being victorious may be a matter of perspective.  Why do they write what they do.  Mike takes a quick trip into some recent history on the anniversary of the World Trade Center Attack.  Enjoying a nice eastern highland whisky and a real American hero Uppity Women story

So Mike is coming out of his closet...his clothes closet and its gonna be pretty empty by the time he's done. Stop by to hear all about it.  Mike's first ever single malt whisky, one that's near and dear to his heart and an Uplifting Uppity Women story from Europe.

Just in the middle of your best story ever...and you forget the word...you know it, you just can't say it.  Mike has a few things to say about this, because...uh...well..., ah...damn.  I'm sure it'll come back soon.  A blended single malt to try and one of the oldest Uppity Women tributes ever

Remembering the past is much more than a strategy to avoid repeating mistakes... turns out there is some actual fucking science to this, and it caught  Mike's eye and he cannot wait to share it with you .  He has a very special and somewhat mysterious Scotch to tell you about and as it turns out a Scottish Uppity woman story as well.

So when someone askes you .what are the greatest inventions of all time?  Do you have a quick answer or do you need to think about it for a while?  Mikes got his answer ready, and it is not what you think...  A whisky that is famous more for its Blends and a Law and Order version of Uppity Women... Welcome to the Pub!

Celebrating Americas birthday on July 4th is a time honored tradition, but what about those things that we really don't want to think about, much less celebrate.  Yes, we do have some ugly history to deal with...and Mikes got a take on one of these during this years holiday.  Another trip back to Islay for a strong single malt and a beer brewing uppity woman story
