It's a short show this week as Ginny is under the weather but we still keep it fun and story filled as karaoke and celebrations take center stage. Hot toddies all around!

On this week's episode, Charlie and Ginny find themselves mid-birthday-extravaganza as they settle in to record just before a night of karaoke. It's a bit of celebration story time, some great coverage of Ink Your Love, a few adventures in the city and a confession or two about Ginny's sleep habits (or lack thereof). We sample a bourbon gift from a good friend, listen to some music Charlie discovered on his phone after a night out and wrap it all up just in time for turkey day. Another week's show is ready to roll!

This week Ginny and Charlie recount their weekend adventures in Hocking Hills and continue at The Overlook Lodge and Nicola's once they return to Cincinnati. The show features a debate about drinking at Target and the evolution of our attitudes toward alcohol in America. A drink segment with Bernheim Wheat Whiskey and a song from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds close things out this week.

This week on the Charlie Tonic Hour we're discussing Ohio's recent vote on recreational marijuana, an Irish initiative regarding heroin, regional sex monologues, a cool little brewery, a cheese festival, slow food goodness and a whole lot of gin (with special guest Melissa Mary Alexander). It's a "very special" episode of the show and we even serve up some retro music before it's done. Join us, won't you?

This week we're talking startups, Cincinnati and so much more with Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster! It's a conversation about a family focused app that covers a lot more ground than you would expect as Chris takes us through his history and shares perspective on running a company (and life too). He's an incredibly interesting guest and just wait until you hear about his other office at Disney Studios! All this plus Halloween stories, celebrations, Charlie embarrassing himself talking about rap, more on the Outlook Lodge and a cocktail with an unexpected pickled presence. Charlie Tonic returns!

What does Robert Mapplethorpe, Rob Schneider and the Shining have in common? Find out now as the Charlie Tonic Hour returns with a vengeance! Listen in as we discuss the 25th anniversary of the Mapplethorpe obscenity trial and the ways in which Cincinnati has shifted culturally over the years. From there we invite you along for a preview of the new Overlook Lodge bar opening in Pleasant Ridge (with guests Jacob Trevino and Otto Baum). All this plus the usual storytelling and a music recommendation make for a packed episode so full an hour couldn't contain it!

Ginny and Charlie finally hit the big Episode #200. They celebrate with a glass of bourbon and a check in on the state of the Charlie Tonic Union. They discuss the past, how it all got started and where the show will be going in the future. It has been an amazing ride and it is only getting better!

Wait... What? Playboy is pulling all nudes from its magazine and website? Oh, this is something we need to discuss! Add to that some talk about joint couple accounts on Facebook, a very full weekend with tons of stories, a classic cocktail from a classic book and you have a show. Our 199th show to be exact! Ginny Tonic and Charlie are back with you once again for the hour.

We're back with a very full show this week as we catch you up on our adventures, chat up a couple shows, dig into the people rating app Peeple, share an original drink creation, geek out over D&D and channel a solid Breaking Bad tune. Lock and load your polyhedrals with headphones on... Charlie Tonic is back for the Hour and then some!

This week on the show we are joined by Rob Buchheit, the individual at the helm of Nectar Game Studios. This game design company is currently building the upcoming Project Resurgence video game, a love letter to the classic Infinity Engine games. Rob offers listeners a look inside both his game and game design culture and even joins us for a couple beers before this one is done.
