In this week's episode, we're taking a bit more serious tone as we discuss the Colorado shooting. Charlie comes from the world of comics, so we thought this was a topic we shouldn't shy away from as we consider it from a couple angles. Have no fear though, we eventually make it on to a listener suggested topic as we detail how we would survive (or fail) a zombie apocalypse. Along the way we cover the Midsummer Masquerade, Ford Theatre Reunion, MOTR and Japps.  There's also a drunk drink segment recorded at a bar called Habits. It's a full show this week.

This week Ginny and Charlie report back from the red carpet as they attend the 48 Hour Film Project Awards here in Cincinnati. From there, the discussion turns to San Diego Comic Con as Charlie gives his impressions of the show and where he sees it fitting into the current state of comic culture. He's back to his roots in this discussion. For the close we present what may be one of the best drink segments in the history of the Charlie Tonic Hour. Maybe? Well, at the very least it comes with a really fun story and an edge of your seat taste test moment. From there we dip back to the 70's for a musical recommendation you'll have to hear to believe then close out the show. 

We're back in the Charlie Tonic studios this week as we share a bit of advice on what you could wear (or not wear) to a masquerade. We go from thrifting to riffing to avoiding the heat in three easy steps. From there, we return with our second segment of app recommendations. It's news, tools and games as Ginny and Charlie both share three apps they love. How does this turn into a chat centered on sex? You'll have to listen and learn. In the end we close with some chocolate wine, a spot of obscure music and a little innuendo.

It's a slightly different Charlie Tonic Hour this week filled with big announcements, live-without-edits recordings, drunken moments, 70+ mph action and alcohol in unexpected places. All that and more as we "road show" Derby City, take a suggestion from the listeners for a show topic and bring you into a drinking circle live from happy hour. Classic show in the making? You decide.

This week there's a bit of parental discretion advised as Ginny Tonic and Charlie walk you through the week that was, sum up all the unexpected parties and visit a really outstanding bourbon bar. From there these two begin a discussion of kilts and end in a broader discussion of male sexuality. Charlie is put on the spot and answers honestly. Ginny also shares a couple interesting things that get her excited. After that Calamity Dawn stops off and makes a great Fluffer then we bring it home with a bit of music.

We're back from Florida and back behind the microphone filling the airwaves with conversation, opinions and the occasional innuendo.  This week, Ginny Tonic shares her thoughts on buying a bikini and challenging yourself, she and Charlie chat about the first two episodes of the new Avatar animated series and sample a very interesting (and cheap) rum. Along the way there are stories from Florida, a bit of unexpected music and more as we settle back into life, once again, in Cincinnati.

We may be in Florida on vacation this week, but we still have a brand new episode for you! This week we cover the recent Radiohead concert, dip into a mix of listener suggested road music, talk about Ginny's quest to get healthy and sample a bit of home spun sangria. Join us pool side or over in the hot tub as we share a new mix of audio festivity!

This week it's human sexualty, great music and, for the first time ever, Ginny Tonic unveils a cocktail of her own creation. We kick things off with a Discourse Intercourse segment that's loaded with fun stories. From there, Charlie reports back on a panel hosted by some very brave individuals discussing what it's like to be transgendered. Next up, we share an interview recorded live at World Steam Expo with Frenchy and the Punk. As if that were not enough, Ginny unveils the Snow White... an original cocktail creation. It's a full week and a very exciting show which we're proud to share. Cheers!

We're back with a brand new Road Show podcast as Charlie, Ginny Tonic and Aloysius Fox are joined for the first time by Halcyon Hazzard. What is a Road Show? Road Show podcasts are recorded at, typically, 70 MPH in a moving automobile and they're done live without breaks or edits. It's a stream of consiuosness take on the convention done shortly after leaving the show. In these episodes, you hear the stories, the excitement and this week we're covering the World Steam Expo.  We go from discussing the con to the music of the show to the parties in just over an hour. Pop this episode in the car stereo and ride along with us as we look back on a very fun show.

For this BONUS episode, we share over two hours of audio as we flash back to World Steam Expo 2011! Just a year ago, Charlie was hosting a podcast called the Related Recap over at Comic Related.  World Steam 2011 was his first steampunk convention. It is also the show where Charlie first met Ginny Tonic and Aloysius Fox. On the way home, he recorded a "road show" podcast (a tradition we've carried over here to the Charlie Tonic Hour).  In that audio he describes his experiences and his excitement is infectious. If you enjoy this episode, don't miss next Wednesday as we present our own road show discussing this year's Expo!
