Hope Madden & George Wolf: OSCAR-HEIMER!

March 04, 2024 21:01 - 1 hour

Another Oscar year is nearing but it wouldn’t be official for us here at Whiskey Business without our annual visit from George Wolf and Hope Madden from The Screening Room podcast.  There may appear to be some slam dunks if you’re in an Oscar pool, but I’m going to suggest you listen up/or watch to see if some upsets are predicted as well in our discussion of Oscar gold.  If you love the movies it’s one of our favorite podcasts of the year. And if you only saw BARBIE, this is your chance to g...

Martin Kennedy & Pat Byrne: GO BUA OR GO HOME

February 19, 2024 05:00 - 1 hour

Whiskey Business loves being the first kid on the block with something special and on this podcast we got the sneak peek of some NEW Irish Whiskeys from BUA which originates here in Columbus but is made with tender, Irish care in Ireland. What I called “fightin’ whiskey was a single grain but there were also some single malts that were finished in tawny port casks, ALL of them great including the BUA Original which has come a long way since we sampled Batch #1 a few years back.  Great whiskey...

Steve Dimon: The O.G. of Influencers

February 11, 2024 23:04 - 58 minutes

A “lobbyist” is NOT a strange person who hangs out in hotel lobbies. Got it.  They are however, the behind the scenes movers and shakers of influence; be it political, business related or other miscellaneous agendas.  Steve Dimon has been a lobbyist for 30 plus years and gave us an inside look into the job that some deem as evil while others consider it a needed ally for success. What are YOUR perceptions? Validate them or be surprised at how this world really works on this latest edition of ...

The Mayor of Swartytown, Dan Swarthout

January 31, 2024 02:35 - 1 hour

It’s easy to see why we think Dan is "The Man" on this particular podcast because our good friend, Dan Swarthout has worn many hats over the course of his life: lawyer, comedian, Mayor of Powell, Ohio, 18+ years of comedically prepping a crowd before the start of Ohio Lottery’s Cash Explosion TV show (taking a breath here) “early” podcast pioneer, and TV historian! The show could’ve been, in length, about any of the above, but we tried to cover them all and in the process went down some delig...

Leather and Oak Spirits: 100% In So Many Ways

January 15, 2024 01:54 - 1 hour

Whiskey Business kicked off the New Year with a new bourbon and a fairly new distillery to usher in 2024.  Leather and Oak Spirits founded in 2019 out of Hilliard, Ohio joined the podcast as Steve Lambert and Dave Sheppard shared their journey with not only a fine bourbon but also a nice limoncello that the boys crank out with love and care.  The bourbon was about as old school as you could get. 100% corn. The limoncello was about as old country as you could get as they eventually got the rec...

Comedian Mike Larsen returned to Whiskey Business and was locked and comedically loaded to talk about the aftermath of November 7th voting in Ohio, while also taking a peek at the presidential election in 2024.     Politics are always divisive but if we don’t find a way to laugh, we cry. No tears on this episode. The conversation got serious at times but laughter was never too far away.     Larsen, who had a long career in television comedy writing while living in Los Angeles actually ran for...

Whiskey Business took it on the road for our annual Halloween episode in front of a live audience.

From murdering Madams to bereaved and suicidal fathers, we covered a lot of supernatural bases with the bar’s owner, Megan Dempsey and our very own Ghost Whisperer, Ralph Scott. Are you a believer? This podcast may give you pause and make you wonder if you’re not.  Also in the ...

October 02, 2023 00:15 - 1 hour

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month and for years, Dino has been a huge advocate for the families and The Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio which you may commonly know as DSACO.  But there’s nothing common about these families and the organization. On the heels of another successful DSACO BUDDY WALK, it gave us great pleasure to welcome Kari Jones and Mike Messina to share stories, insights, progress and what’s still left to do further awareness and education. There’s also inform...

THE BOCCE BROS: My Balls Ain’t Bigger, They’re Just Better.

September 19, 2023 01:03 - 1 hour

And now that we have your attention, we’re talking about Bocce, as Chris and Dante Lovell, AKA The Bocce Bros returned to Whiskey Business to talk about the rising popularity of the sport, be you a casual player or a competitive one. But as is the case on our show we went down several paths: sibling rivalries, family, relationships, crazy stories from the past and yeah…some metaphorical “ball busting.” All if it accompanied by a bottle of Sagamore Rye which went down faster than a striking bo...

Bill Demora: Senator Superstitious

August 30, 2023 08:12 - 1 hour

Bill Demora returned to Whiskey Business as we had to accommodate his annual rite of football passage and have him on to ensure at the very least…a winning season for THE Ohio State Buckeyes.  This time around the superstitious landscape was a little different as he is now a state Senator for Ohio and his commitment to the office could incur havoc to his firmly entrenched traditions. We discussed the season, the QB situation, what happens if Coach Ryan Day loses three in a row to Michigan and...

August 07, 2023 20:17 - 1 hour

Longtime friend of Whiskey Business, Jesse Hubbard returned to the podcast to talk about his recent book, Punk Rock and Cocktails Vol. 2 but of course the conversation drifted into so much more in respects to music. First concerts, fave concerts, what decade do you wish you could’ve musically lived in, and yeah…Barry Manilow confessions.  A good time shared over a bottle Willet Family Estate Small Batch Rye, it was another for the books along with a “book” you should add to you collection.  L...

And Then Greg’s Dad Showed Up…

July 21, 2023 03:47 - 1 hour

Whiskey Business got reacquainted with itself as The Boys have been busy in their own worlds outside the podcast. Trips to Tulsa, vacations in Michigan, a taping for true crime episode for Oxygen, and a short stand in The World Series of Poker. Oh, and Greg’s dad joined us. A delightful chat with John Hansberry which gave us a little more insight into our audio producer, Greg who I affectionately refer to as “the son I never wanted.” A fun podcast with a bottle of E.H. Taylor Small Batch Bott...

May 30, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour

The boys of Echo Spirits, Nikhil Sharoff and Joe Bidinger returned to Whiskey Business to get down to some, well…Whiskey Business.  On the heels of their recently released rye, the boys have introduced not one but TWO new bourbons to their stable. I mean, if you’re gonna make a bourbon why not throw a single barrel into the mix why you’re doing it, right?  It’s another win for Echo and a great podcast for you as we chat with the boys about how far they’ve come and where they’re going.  Learn ...

Magnolia Spirits: “I Do So Love Magnolia In The Spring”

April 03, 2023 21:52 - 1 hour

While that may sound like something you would say while sitting on the front porch in the South, it was instead a tasting of some mighty fine whiskey from Ed Carey and Magnolia Spirits.  The former real estate developer, Ed took his love of the sweet, brown liquor and made it his own with currently three blended products which are smooth, rich in flavor and sure to please the most discriminate whiskey drinker.  We sampled a wheated bourbon, a rye and a barrel proof whiskey. Each seemingly as ...

EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, ALL AT…OSCAR!

March 07, 2023 18:00 - 1 hour

Hard to believe it’s been a year already, but Whiskey Business had its Annual Oscar Podcast with George Wolf and Hope Madden from The Screening Room Podcast to determine who will Oscar gold.  While it seems that Everything, Everywhere looks like a slam dunk and may carry the night, the conversation did drift to some potential upsets and dug even deeper into what makes an Oscar nominated picture or performance a “winner.” No matter which way it goes on Oscar night THIS years annual podcast is ...

February 27, 2023 22:07 - 1 hour

February 06, 2023 23:48 - 1 hour

Jim Canepa, the Superintendent of Ohio Liquor Control, once again joined Whiskey Business for an overdue visit to talk about where things are at with liquor in Ohio and I’m pleased to say our glass remains full and then some.  A job that was supposed to last 6 weeks for Jim when initially asked to “fix” a few things for the state, has fortunately become a permanent position and Ohio is better for it.  Ranking 4th behind much larger states like California, Texas, and Florida, Ohio continues to...

Scott Morris: Take Me Down To Comic Town

December 05, 2022 07:08 - 1 hour

October 10, 2022 21:59 - 1 hour

Attorney Bret Adams and host of the podcast, Lawyers Are A**holes, joined Whiskey Business for a “spirited” chat about the problems with the legal system, being a sports agent and actually “buying a town” in order to help south eastern Ohio become a bourbon trail of its own.  A bottle of Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Rye loosened the chat up a little with hopefully nothing said that could be “used against us.”  Bret will most likely return as we just scratched the surface this time out,...

Coyote Peterson: Brave Whiskiness

August 15, 2022 19:03 - 1 hour

Ok. We’re taking some liberties with the title of this week’s podcast, but not with our guest, Coyote Peterson.  The YouTube phenom and creator of Brave Wilderness graced us with an an amazing podcast that traced the roots of his success, the future of his wilderness enterprise and a few stops in between which include becoming crocodile snacks, Big Foot, the REAL dangers of his work and how what he does is so much more than just being bitten or stung by some bug, spider or creature.  And if e...

June 27, 2022 20:49 - 1 hour

May 16, 2022 01:39 - 1 hour

Whiskey Business finally nailed down a conversation with comedian Kenny Mock, who’s been touring with fellow comedian and Tik Tok phenom, Jason Banks. To quote Jason, “Yeah, Kenny is getting too funny. He’s making my job harder.” One of the best compliments one comic can give another.

Jeb Bigelow: Gettin’ Jebby With It

April 04, 2022 20:25 - 1 hour

Dino and the Whiskey Business boys had an amazing chat with Jeb Bigelow, who some 30 years ago started his OWN awards show, THE JEBBY’S, which has now become a staple of recognition and achievement in the Central Ohio Theater community.  Picked entirely by Jeb there is no “BEST” awards.

Hope Madden & George Wolf: Is There A BEST Picture?

March 14, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour

Oscar season is rolling around which meant another informative and entertaining podcast with our movie experts, George Wolf and Hope Madden.  Through the years their predictions have stayed in the 95 percentile of “nailing it” as to who would walk away with Oscar gold. But this year there’s an interesting twist as our usually “on the same page couple” split on what they think will be Best Picture. What did they pick? Why did they pick it? Is this the movie they WANT to win or the movie they T...
