Bar Crawl Radio

Alan Winson & Rebecca McKeanwww.barcrawlradio.com
Did you ever have a really interesting conversation at a bar -- sharing ideas over a couple of martinis -- and wish you could've bottled it? That's Bar Crawl Radio. Rebecca McKean and Alan Winson invite amazing people to bars all over the word -- make a toast -- and then talk about about whatever inspires them -- makes their lives worth living. We talk to all sorts of interesting people doing important work for their community at a neighborhood bar -- composers -- actors -- musicians -- medical ethicists and practitioners -- playwrights & poets -- journalists -- politicians -- social activists -- community organizers & NGOs -- scientists -- brewers & mead makers -- businesspersons -- and fellow podcasters -- recording mostly in Manhattan's UWS. Who knows? BCR might be at a bar -- near you.

BCR#4: On the Road -- Ireland & Wales

In August, 2017 - BCR went to Dublin / Hay-on-Wye / Swallowcliffe / Carlingford / and Brandon on the Dingle Peninsula. We visited pubs and talked to the barmen -- not bartenders -- Pub managers and lovers of Lay Lines and Crop Circles. We met a cute German couple--well she was cute--he was large--friendly--with a mohawky-do -- and not an admirer of our D.Trump -- neither liked the beer at the Journeyman Pub on the Liffey River. But we liked it, and had a great time falling in love with "Smit'ick...

BCR #3: The Dead Poet & a bit of politics.

[We are not sharing our first two shows recorded at Vino Laventino on W. 93rd Street and Broadway] because we were pretty green and a bit nervous. We had great guests -- Helen Rosenthal -- NYC Council Person of the UWS -- she was quite generous to join us on our inaugural efforts -- but ...] BCR #3 was a beginners effort -- but there is enough here to get a feel for what we were aiming for. Guests included Mel Wymore--community organizer--running for City Council, and Chris Hoffman--mystic and s...
