Today, we get straight down to business. Whiskey business! More specifically, Whiskey Tit business!!

Another whiskey aficionado joins us drunken boobs to discuss whiskey, books, the publishing industry, and tits. That’s right! Miette Gillette from Whiskey Tit brings her unique perspective of the book publishing industry (as a publisher herself) and graces us with some insider knowledge. We talk about the origin of Whiskey Tit (and how it got its name), the cultural need for experimental literature, the importance of cover letters in the submission process, what role AI plays in the publishing industry, and many more interesting topics. 

For some truly great and possibly outlandish literature, be sure to check out Whiskey Tit. 

A Murakami Minute: 1Q84 Book Three – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

In today's episode, we finish our discussion of Haruki Murakami's giant novel, 1Q84. We share our thoughts on how the book ends, as well as the lack of resolution for the characters we've spent far too much time with. This leads to a brief comparison to the other notable Murakami, Ryu Murakami, who tends to write in a much faster-paced, grittier, and harder-hitting way.  There are a lot of things to like about 1Q84, but there are also many things that bring the book down. Overall, it's still a solid read.
