Theme Show - Theme Show - "This Universe is Just an Echo" with Middle West Ported Pumpernickel Rye

Beards, Books, and Bourbon Podcast

Are we the echoing memory of an already dead universe, that echo pulsing forever outward into the black depths of what exists outside what we know as reality? Does that mean all of our choices have already been made?  Are we stuck inside the memory of a deus ex machina that repeats itself over and over in the silent black? Well, looks like it's going to be one of THOSE episodes.  Good thing we have Middle West Ported Pumpernickel Rye to keep the ennui at bay!

"I like knowing where you are." - Navola with Emerald Giant

Beards, Books, and Bourbon Podcast

Do you like big Italian dramas?  Do you enjoy Machiavelian style politics?  How do you about the occasional eye gouging?  Do you have any thoughts on vague, subtley applied mystical themes?  How about generally forbidden love?  What's that?  You like all of it, you sick twisted puppy?  Then we have the book for you!

So much so that we need an equally rich and complex bourbon to pair with it.  For this book, we picked...

Oh my.  Author, Zee Lacson, sticks around after the initial recording to do the oopsisode with Stephen and Mark.  How many bourbons can one author take?  All of them.  Especially when we're talking about allies.  Spend another 12 minutes with Zee Lacson and the boys as they talk about allies in the book "Twice Removed."

 

Zee Lacson has had practice in different professions. Engineer. Teacher. Photographer. Visual artist. Writer. But throughout her life, she has always been a Dreamer.

The Woolgathering Trilogy is her dream come true.

Born and raised in Manila, Philippines, with her grandparents, father, and twin brothers, she currently lives the dream in the northern suburbs of Chicagoland with her husband and twin sons.

She enjoys good coffee. And sushi. And wine. And ice cream. And cake … though not necessarily together. Or in that order.

Reverie was her first published work of fiction. It was a finalist at the 2021 Illinois Author Project.
Revenant, the sequel to Reverie, was released in 2021.
Réveil, the final in the series, was released May 2023.
Twice Removed is her latest book, and will be released in 2024.
