In this episode, we travel from Poland to the United States as we sit down with Jamie Bogner—co-founder and editorial director of Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine and host of the Craft Beer & Brewing Podcast.

Jamie’s journey into beer journalism is as fascinating as the industry itself. From his early days in media to helping shape one of the most influential beer publications in the U.S., he has witnessed the evolution of craft beer culture firsthand. We explore the impact of beer media, the rise of Polish craft brewing, and the latest trends shaping the industry—including the fine balance between tradition and innovation.

But Jamie’s story isn’t just about beer. Having lived in New York City in 2001, he experienced 9/11 firsthand—a moment that not only shaped his life but also reinforced the power of community and resilience in the face of adversity. That same spirit of togetherness can be found in the beer world, where brewers and beer lovers rally around each other in tough times, whether facing economic challenges or global crises.

And of course, no BierTalk episode is complete without a beer in hand! We sample some exceptional Polish brews, discuss the influence of beer media, and reflect on the role of storytelling in keeping beer culture alive.

EP #433 Pairing Food With Tequila

Our show is exactly what the title implies--it's a show about "The Good Life." Every week on Smokin' & Toastin', Ian Barry and Cruze taste and talk about craft beers, distinctive distilled spirits and fine cigars. Ian and Cruze approach these classic diversions with the passion and curiosity of two semi-normal guys on an adventurous path of discovery and knowledge. And if that quest mandates that they must drink, eat, smoke and socialize, then so be it.

Align in the Sound is a podcast combining audio from three sources:
 - Radio Behind the Lines
 - The New Economy Network of Australia
 - Co-ops Commons and Communities Canberra.

Radio Behind the Lines (BTL) has been going to air every week on Community Radio 2XX 98.3FM in Canberra, Australia for over 30 years. We talk with anyone who is trying to make the world a better place. 
The New Economy Network of Australia (NENA) was conceived in 2016. NENA is an Australian Co-operative which aims to bring together people around the continent who are creating and thinking about a new economy which serves people and planet, and amplify the fantastic work already being done. BTL has recorded 3 of their national conferences, which can be found here.
Co-operatives, Commons and Communities Canberra (CoCanberra) is building the new economy in Canberra, Australia, through the creation of “Climate Co-ops”.
This means you will continue to hear the eclectic mix of interviews and field recordings from Behind the Lines, mixed up with snapshots of what NENA’s various hubs and people are up to, various conferences, and recordings from the regular meetups of CoCanberra.
Use the playlists to browse through our archive to discover interviews, rallies, lectures and more from all sorts of people who are trying to make the world a better place, and many recordings from the NENA conferences.

In the heart of South West UK, a singular voice pulses through the underground — a drum & bass and experimental sound producer known simply as A.S.D.
Living on the spectrum, he experiences the world with raw, unfiltered intensity. Autism isn't a limitation — it's the lens that sharpens every frequency, every pattern, every breath. Guided by the grounding presence of medicinal cannabis, his creative process becomes ritual: a sacred loop between emotion and waveform.

His sound isn’t just music — it’s survival.
Each track is a transmission, blending hard-hitting beats with ethereal atmospheres, stitching together grief, insight, and unspoken truths. From neurodivergent silence emerges a symphony of resilience.

A.S.D’s work isn’t crafted to impress — it’s meant to resonate.
To shift something in you.
To remind the world that brilliance doesn’t always speak in words — sometimes, it drops basslines.
