Xtreme Tasting League: Scotch

Kelvin returns and we drink scotch. (Seriously, I will be putting more effort into the episodes again soon–work’s finally calming down)

Comedian and actor Kelvin Hatle joins us for our first tasting of October. We discuss his involvement with the Minnesota Fringe Festival and my cats, interestingly enough. It seems they want to be internet famous, too!

Sorry this is a day late, folks. Believe me when I say I wish my schedule allowed for it to be on time.

Adam Dunn returns! (I will elaborate further upon this later, but I’m already a day late posting and 30 minutes past the end of my lunch break.)

Adam Dunn of the Horror Show Hot Dog Podcast joins us for the Tobermory 10yr and Glenfiddich Malt Masters. We had a great time recording this one and we talked to Adam about his work, both with HSHD and his cinematic forays, which include Transformers 3 and Man of Steel, as well as a number of music videos for local hip-hop artists. This is also the first time we’ve had a guest that neither Dave nor I had met previously, though I was familiar with him from the podcast enough that you can’t really tell.

This episode was a special treat for me to record (yes, we are again without Dave), as it was done on my summer vacation to Las Vegas back in June and has several of my World of Warcraft guild mates as the guests. That’s right, several–there are WAY more voices on this show than the norm. It’s a bit short of the length we’ve been hitting, but that’s only because we only tasted one bottle, the Glenmorangie 10yr. Enjoy!

Long-time friends Diana McCleery and Dan Stiglich join me for a Dave-free episode, in which we savor both The Macallan and Caol Ila 12yrs and talk bus driving, snow days, and submarines.

Ian and Jeremy return to taste the Dalwhinnie 95 Distillers Edition and the Bowmore 18yr while talking about The Wonder Years, cradle robbing, accidental fermentation and Halloween costumes. Yep, it’s about as silly as it sounds and we had a lot of fun.

We’re back with another exciting episode, this time with local event hosts/commentators Ian Rans and Jeremy Stomberg. We talk about all kinds of random things while we taste the Edradour 10yr and Glenfiddich 18yr–so many things in fact that we’ve set a new record for episode length. Was it entertaining? We thought so, and expect you will to!

Bob and Dawn make their hilarious return and we taste the Tomatin 12yr and Laphroaig 18yr.

Fearless Comedy Productions co-founder Bob Alberti and Big Fun Radio Funtime voice actress Dawn Krosnowski join us for a very entertaining hour. We bust Bob’s scotch cherry, learn a bit about the second-ever published RPG (after D&D), and are given some spontaneous intro and bumper themes. The scotches this episode were the Glenkinchie 12 year and The Balvenie 21 year Portwood.

Bob was a somewhat recent guest on the Apropos of Nothing podcast and talked about Tékumel there as well. They are more adept at the show notes thing and actually have pictures: check it out!
