84: [Season 7 Premiere!] Tiki Time with Jeff: A Primer

Season 7 of Creative Distillation opens with a special dispatch from the palm trees: it’s Tiki Time with Jeff, an exploration of the history, legends, entrepreneurial exploits and — of course, the cocktails, yes, the cocktails — of the tiki tradition. — On today’s episode, we gather at the seriously secret Tiki Dungeon, where Jeff mixes up a round of Mai Tais and then fills us in on the roots of tiki — a tradition that has endured for nearly a century. He also describes his inspiration behind launching the Tiki Time with Jeff segment, and explains to Brad his vision for an undertaking that ends with Brad publishing his first paper. There are many steps along the way, each of which will be illuminating for anyone curious about — or preparing to begin — the process of writing a paper. The episode concludes with a round of Zombies. Check the show notes of each Tiki Time segment for info on the featured establishments, characters and cocktails discussed. We hope this added element to the Creative Distillation universe brings something useful to your life as well. Enjoy and cheers! — This episode of Tiki Time with Jeff, a special, semi-occurring production of Creative Distillation, was recorded at Jeff’s secluded Tiki Dungeon.
