I love the "POH" podcast. They do a wonderful job and I've enjoyed a few brews (and bands) based on what they were partaking in and playing.

As Covid was setting in several years ago I was asked to host a podcast for my local brewery. I called it, "Beers with Billy" and every Thursday night I'd set up my portable recording equipment at the end of the bar and my "guests" would end up being the patrons that were there that night. Some "guests" were more than happy to talk (especially if they had some beers in them) and some had zero interest, but each episode started with, "Hi, I'm Billy. What are you drinking?" Followed by, tell me about yourself. What do you do, what interesting things have happened to you in your life, travels, education, etc...". The podcast was hosted on the brewery's website but Covid hit, the brewery closed and the podcasts disappeared.

POH's format and terrific show is really inspiring me to start it up again. Keep up the amazing work!

Matty! Thanks so much for sharing! I tell ya, with all the adrenaline I was feeling up there, it was a great comfort to be handed a cold beer by an old friend. And I would not have wished anyone to be our first five-timer other than you. ❤️
