Have you ever had one of those weeks that is so full of yuletide chaos that you can barely stagger forward and pin the stocking on the mantle? Join us as we begin the race to the big ho ho ho and tell a few stories along the way. It's a special little 30 minute Charlie Tonic Hour!

It is a road show podcast as Ginny and Charlie recall the week’s events while traveling between Louisville and Cincinnati. A brush with Pappy & Co, amazing cocktails, and a great new movie are all there along with some exciting news for Ginny and Charlie. After that they discuss just what makes Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon so sought after and answer the question: Is it worth the price? Don’t miss out on all the fun this week!

This week Charlie is back and cheeky as ever. It’s couples counseling with bourbon this week as Ginny and Charlie sit down with their friends Greg and Cindy to discuss the much shared article “!5 Signs You are in the Right Relationship.” This discussion of love, sex, and the importance of wine takes up most of the episode but they still make time to try Local Choice Bourbon from South Caroline. 

This week on the Charlie Tonic Hour, “con crud” has taken its toll on the dynamic duo of power podcasting as Charlie has been sidelined (since he sounds like Yosemite Sam crossed with Tom Waits). Yes friends, it’s Ginny Tonic flying solo once again. Along the way she catches you up on life, tells a couple stories and discusses why Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday!

On this Episode of The Charlie Tonic Hour, Ginny and Charlie are joined once again by Calamity Dawn and Dorian Bridges from Calamity Labs. The two of them talk about their experiences competing in the Bourbon Social’s cocktail contest and mix us up the two recipes they entered. Along the way we discuss the rewards and challenges of mixology, first experiences with sake, and where Calamity Labs will be heading in the future. You won’t want to miss it.

We cover a massive amount of ground this week as we say hello from our home, pull you along to a bourbon society meeting, chat you up about a mix of music (from behind the wheel of a car in motion), drop you into a distillery, introduce you to the owners and take part in a cocktail competition. All this plus some great music, a wide array of playful banter and Charlie and Ginny kind of just loving life with you the listener along for the ride. This week's show comes in just moments under an hour... A true Charlie Tonic Hour!

We sit a bit deeper onto the bar stool this week as we share a pretty wonderful little unplanned audio bit live from The Vogue Cafe. Our good friend Irvin Madson engages the ever wonderful bartender Julie to share a bit of bourbon and gets Ginny talking. What follows is a tidbit of what this marvel of bourbon magic might share during a more structured tasting. Even a touch tipsy, Ginny still hands out the well aged bourbon wisdom. Join us for the chat and enjoy!

Happy Halloween! Ginny and Charlie bring you an eerily good show this week, with a recap of en epic bourbon tasting and discussion of the new Constantine TV show. Then they explore the roots of our superstitions, make a candy corn flavored cocktail and end with a song by Gillian Welch that is perfect for walking through the autumn leaves.

This week Ginny and Charlie are bringing sexy back! It has been too long since they tackled a sexy topic on the show so on this episode they discuss the fantasy of sex vs the reality and dig into a recent article that claims that many people in Japan have just given up on it all together. In addition to the pillow talk they make a Park Avenue cocktail, give the highlights of a recent Slow Food Cincinnati event and a happy hour at Kaze before the end of the show. You won't want to miss this one!

This week Ginny and Charlie are all New York. After starting out with a Manhattan-themed drink from Banks Rum they launch into the stories of their epic weekend in the Big Apple. Although they were there for New York Comic Con it is the stories about what happened after the show that dominate this podcast. An underground ping-pong parlor, Chinatown, LeVar Burton, and a martini with a manicure all feature into the show this week. It is a long one so make yourself a drink, sit back and enjoy!
