SEASON 6 PREMIER! For the first episode of Season 6, Stephen and Mark visit one of their favorite destinations, the end of the world. They'll meander their way toward it in the novel Wanderers by Chuck Wendig. A trip to the apocalypse needs an appropriately named beverage. Tonight's bourbon is Bloody Butcher by Whiskey Acres.

It's not a repeat! We just decided that both the book and the bourbon needed a revisit...WITH A TWIST.
info_outlineIn the countdown to the season finale, Stephen and Mark stray from the path of horror into a subtle and delighfully complex scifi story about a monk, a robot, and the questions perhaps everyone should be asking of themselves and each other.

No one can ever be perfect, but the pursuit of being better and kinder to each other and ourselves is worth the awkwardness of the journey.
