Season 5, Ep 3 -- Michael Jackson Remembrance Dave Broom, Hans Offringa, and Carolyn Smagalski

Michael Jackson -- no, not the dancing white glove wearing singer, the beer and whisky writer -- is someone Joshua and Jason never had the good fortune of meeting despite Michael having been a driving force in both their whisky journeys.
As a driving force in their whisky journeys, as you might imagine, they would have *loads* of questions for him! Sadly Michael passed away before either of the Js could ever meet him. The next best thing? Find more out about the man through his partner of many years, Carolyn Smagalski (aka The Beer Fox), and his dear friends Dave Broom and Hans Offringa. 
Listen in as Joshua and Jason, and now you, learn more about the man: Michael Jackson.
