Season 1

Seattle Breweries: Nine Beers, Eight Breweries, and Light Beers in an IPA Town

The hosts taste test 9 different beers from their top Seattle breweries. These are the places they would relocate to their deserted island. It's a little about food trucks, a little about views, and mostly about the beers and the vibes. As you can imagine, things go a bit off the rails by the last section of the pod, so buckle up. And don't blame us if you find yourself craving an ice-cold beer in the first few minutes. Show notes: https://www.thedesertislandpod.com/seattle-breweries

Cities: Would You Choose Based on Cuisine, Sports Teams or the Ability to Pull Off a Kilt?

In this episode, the guys are traveling a bit and choosing which three cities to put on their deserted island. Imagine you could only visit three places for the rest of your time, which would you select? Each host has a different strategy, so their choices offer some variety. Which do you agree with the most? And should Mitch buy himself a kilt? Show notes: https://www.thedesertislandpod.com/cities
