The ramp-up to our hundredth episode continues! John is drinking Larceny Barrel Proof We say adieu to Skype. A brief chat about early music videos and 80s HBO. We remember the voice actor, George Lowe from Space Ghost Coast to Coast Part 2 of Phil’s award-winning segment: “Things I Didn’t Know...

Hello Time To Leaners! This is Phil. John and I will be recording our 100th episode in April. If you have ideas of things to include, add them in the comments below. Starting with episode 101, there will be a few changes perhaps, mostly along the lines of streamlining things. We likely won’t have a song at the end of every episode and will refer to the show simply as Time To Lean. We will also work on getting an episode out every month. If you have favorite segments or segment suggestions, feel free to mention them below. Thank you for being here!

Episode 97 begins with the usual mayhem and we discuss raking leaves. A mercifully minimal amount of post-election blather. Thanksgiving and other updates. We watched the movie, ¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor! and discussed our scant history with this iconic place. The episode wraps up with our report from s...

John has a dram of Minneapolis-made, Brother Justus American Single Malt. Phil and John visited this distillery recently and have some observations. The 1992...
