Molloy's Tavern (AUDIO PODCAST)

This week, we're headed to Colma, California, also known as the "City of the Silent", located just south of San Francisco's city limits. We'll look at the strange history of this cemetery town, where the dead outnumber the living thousands to one. And we'll visit Molloy's, a road house known for it's Irish Wakes, it's Irish Whiskey, and for the Irish-American family that has run the place since the 1930's

Mean Eyed Cat (AUDIO PODCAST)

The late, great Johnny Cash was one of the greatest performers of our times. We're gonna take you to a small beer joint in Austin, built in a one-time chainsaw repair shack, that is a tribute to the Man in Black. Live music, cold beer, Kool-Aid pickles, a haunted jukebox, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and "A Boy Named Sue"? What else could you ask for?

At one time. San Francisco was home to 76 breweries.  In this episode of the AA Hour, we'll hear from some folks born and raised in The City and their memories of some of the beers from the past.  I'll tell you about the greatest piece of neon advertisment ever, plus we'll meet an artist that has memorialized it in a series of paintings.

The Oldest Dancehall in Texas (AUDIO PODCAST)

On this episode of the AA Hour, I'm taking you to the oldest dancehall in Texas. We're going to Gruene Hall (It's not "Grooney" Hall, it's pronounced GREEN) where we’ll learn about the historic old building and about some of the classic music that has, and still is, played there. Plus I'll introduce you to a young that Texas Blues guitarist that considers the Hall his home.
