Joshua and Jason join Matt "Skinny" Roberts on a detour into beer. Well, seeing as whisky is just beer that's been distilled and aged, perhaps not so much of a detour but a deeper dive into fermentation? Sure., That sounds about right. Right?
The boys have had Skinny on the podcast before during the live Westland episode in Season 2. Listen in as they enjoy a long form and super geeky conversation with Black Raven Brewing Co's very own Matt "Skinny" Roberts.

As you know, Joshua and Jason like to take a detour from whisky now and again. In previous episodes the boys interviewed Garth Ennis (writer of the cult classic comics Preacher and The Boys, now major TV shows on AMC and Amazon, respectively), Adal Rifai (comedian and Chuntttttt from Hello from the Magic Tavern), and Matthew Rhys (Emmy Award winning actor from The Americans, The Post, and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood).
Today's detour takes us out of this world! Well, out of the whisky-world and into the great wide world of particle physics and The Universe... The guest today is famed Particle Physicist Daniel Whiteson. Daniel, and his good friend Jorge Cham, creator of PhD Comics, co-host the podcast "Daniel and Jorge Explain The Universe". They're also the co-authors of We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe. If you'd like, you can watch Daniel's TED Talk HERE.

Most whisky drinkers think of distillation began in Japan in the early 1920’s when Yamazaki & Nikka began producing their single malts. However, distilling in Japan has been happening since the 15th century.
Japan's history of distillation is just as expansive and rich as distillation in countries such as Scotland and Ireland but their tradition is rarely discussed because, in part, the history was not very well kept or has not been translated into other languages.
Please join us as Chris Uhde, Vice President of ImpEx Beverages, takes us through the timeline of distilling in Japan as well as the Japanese predilection to blending whisky.
