Show 50 – Solid Gold

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:36:51 +0000

Yes, we finally hit 50 shows! To celebrate, Shek and Andrew wrote a new theme song, bartender Deke Zibinski stops by to hand out advice and we get the inside story on the Oscar’s Tavern story (discussed on show 43) from the person who broke it- Philadelphia magazine editor Victor Fiorillo.

Also- I (your host) had told someone that we would mention the upcoming Philadelphia Whiskey Fest, being sponsored by Philadelphia magazine on Thursday, November 12, at the Union League in Center City Philadelphia. I was a little drunk and forgot, so this is me doing that now. Sorry, Corrie. Details and tickets may be found at phillymag.com/whiskeyfest. I have attended in the past and it is a rather lovely event.

We would all like to thank everyone who has kept listening these past 50 shows, we hope you will stick around for the rest of them. As always, you can listen to the program below-
