Pod'ems UP!

Welcome to the Pod'ems UP! podcast. Regular hosts Fred and Blotto with techy producer type, Knobs, discuss Politics and Culture all the while reviewing the finest craft beers that our home state of Michigan has to offer. Unpolished but honest is the best way to describe our style. Occasionally we up our game and invite our friends to join us. They may join us just for the Political or the Cultural topic, or both, but most certainly for the beer! Please give a listen and stay on board. Pod’ems UP!

Episode 99 – War and Gas / Wordle Mania

Episode 99 – War and Gas / Wordle Mania This week I offer my dour prognostication of the War in Ukraine. It’s not filled with optimism. I hope I’m wrong. Plenty of blame going around for high gas prices. Let’s put that blame where it belongs – and it’s not Biden. My take on the mania sweeping the world. Keep playing, stop the sharing.

Episode 97 – The Gaslighting of Jan 6

Episode 97 – The Gaslighting of Jan 6 The band gets back together (unapologetic cliché).

Will there ever be true accountability for those that planted the seeds of insurrection? Beer this week was a Kickstand Brewing Birch Bark Porter. Tasted way better than the name.

Episode 94 – Throwin The Hammer Down/ Social Media Birthdays

This week I speak of Gwen Berry her Athletic Activism, and how it just melts the rightwing snowflakes. The B.S. that is the GOP party platform. Hint: They don’t have one. And the continued uncovering of the corruption that was Trump and Barr’s DOJ. Has social media been good for celebrating birthdays – really? Beer this week was a seasonal release, Blackrocks Honey Lav, which I found to be delightful! Drink up, listen up and Pod’ems UP!

Episode 92 – GOP Chaos / Chickenwich Wars

This week, with special guest, Semi-Colon, we hit 3 majors: Cheney not playing nice in the party; Trumps Facebook ban continues; and the silliness, and danger of the AZ 2020 election audit. Then SC opens my mind to the brutal world of the chicken sandwich wars. The beer this week is Short’s Brewing Big Bird Blood. A nice fruity summer beer, that’s almost there.
