Episode 140: Beers, Buds & Behind the Mic 🍻
Mike sits down with Dez Madrid from Buds, Booze, and Brews for a laid-back taproom chat filled with laughs, stories, and honest talk about the grind (and joy) of podcasting. They crack open some hazy IPAs and West Coast pilsners while diving into favorite breweries, podcasting as therapy, local hangout spots, and the chaos of keeping a schedule.
 
It’s real talk, brewery love, and a reminder for anyone thinking about starting a show: just hit record. 🎙️
