What I thought was a purple bottle of gin turned out to be a bottle of purple gin. This was completely unexpected and a little horrifying. I’d gone to the liquor store with my brother to pick up some supplies and wanted to try a new gin. I’d never heard of Empress Gin. I just knew it was a little more expensive and took that to mean it would have something herbal and potentially kooky going on. We drank it with soda. It had a delicate floral taste that made me certain an olive or two would destr...

On this week’s show, Todd and I talk about his adventures in Ocean City, particularly at The Cork Bar, which is one of the few places that knows what Ocean City really is and acts accordingly. My own ambivalence about the resort is always this notion that is it anything more than a tacky tourist trap. It’s carny to its core but pretends that it’s a more accessible Martha’s Vineyard or whatever. My opinion hasn’t improved over the last few days, but we’ll leave the recent ugliness for next week’s...

In this week’s episode, Todd talks about getting back out on a regular basis and interacting with the crowds as they return to the beach. Todd does a bunch of work in Dewey and talks about how the Starboard is kind of built for the easing of restrictions. Not only is a lot of it outside, but that’s kind of the attraction. Dragged Into the Light is out now, and I would really love it if you got a copy. It is availible wherever you can get books. The Amazon link is here . There’s another buying op...

Todd lured a tree guy to his house and the neighbors never let him leave. It’s astounding how much more confident we feel hiring someone when we see them working. There’s a reality to it. Even if they’re doing something we don’t understand, seeing someone who appears to know what they’re doing is so much better than looking at Google Reviews and such. We don’t spend too much time on the show taking about it, so don’t worry, this isn’t Tree Talk with Todd and Tony (yet) although we do kick the id...

While Todd spends Tuesdays exploring, Tony spends them fielding emails about the recently concluded The Devil You Know. This is a public episode.

I’ve mentioned before (and let’s face it, kinda constantly) that I have a book coming out about a cult . I’m also featured in a six-part documentary series about the cult called The Devil You Know Season 2 on ViceTv . The show airs on Monday night and, as a result, people reach out to me about it, often in reference to another cult they would like me to investigate. I’m not a cult investigator, like, professionally, but I respond to everyone and want to hear their stories. I’ve heard some doozie...

A local punk band ran afoul of the town this week after they were booked to perform before anyone asked their grandkids to show them a YouTube picture of this “punk music” they’d been hearing all about. The difficulty, for me as much as for Todd, is that you either have an arts scene or a curated shopping scene. Berlin has for years been drifting toward the latter, even as its arts and artisans community has grown. As someone who barely made a living wage working as a reporter and then content-c...
