We are kicking off a new series called It's The Spirit Talking, in which I dive into the subject of religion and booze. As a curious person who didn't grow up with much religion, I am curious about the origins of religion and how religious rituals incorporate wine, beer, and spirits. Why were monks and nuns making booze? What are the origins of modern religions? And who were the rockstars and villains throughout history?
Grab a drink and follow me and guest Reverend Rebecca Pridmore down the rabbit hole.
Rev. Rebecca Pridmore is the Senior Pastor at Broadway United Church of Christ in NYC and a proud Church Lady. She is the former co-owner, co-founder, and spirits director of The Natural Wine Company in Brooklyn, NY, and is now pleased to call herself a "retired professional drinker." She is also a Burning Man Ranger, a beginner drummer, and has a yarn problem.
We hope you will enjoy this series! Drink well friends.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
