Jamie McIntyre and celebrity mixologist Rodney Ferguson join to break down the Ukranian situation (bad) and literary comfort food (good). Jamie’s all in on Jack Reacher (but not Tom Cruise). COB continues to go deep with the Iowa Writers Workshop as grad Olga Gonzalez zooms in to talk about Olga Dies Dreaming. Middle aged coming of age meets personal, political and even cultural threads. Rodney’s custom cocktail, the Janguear keeps things moving fast for Torie.
