Welcome to the first edition of the Podcast Sommelier! I’m Ashley, co-host of The Kindred Spirit Podcast, where we explore history one drink at a time. As your Podcast Sommelier, I’ll be recommending you a new podcast, recommending which episode to start with, and pairing it with a cocktail you can drink while listening to it.
This month’s recommendation is Thirst Aid Kit! Thirst Aid Kit is a Buzzfeed Podcast hosted by Nichole Perkins and Bim Adewunmi. Every Thursday…get it…Thirsty Thursday, Nichole & Bim pick a topic to thirst about. Some past topics include “John Cho for President” “The Great British Bae Off” and “Mahershala, In Yellow,” all standout episodes that you can find here. They just ended their first season with “Chris Evans (feat. Chris Evans),” which is the only way one can end a season. And yes, Chris Evans does come on to talk about the beard.
