About This Podcast
Come hang out with host (and author) Mike Jakubowski as he brings on a rotating group of friends to talk books, booze, and bull$hit. Each week on his podcast, he and guests will discuss the read of the week, have a couple of drinks, and discuss some current topics and mostly other nonsense. This podcast is meant to be the book club you’ve been dying to join, that will hopefully make you laugh along the way. And, occasionally, feature authors as guests after their book’s episode airs.
