Pod'ems UP!

Welcome to the Pod'ems UP! podcast. Regular hosts Fred and Blotto with techy producer type, Knobs, discuss Politics and Culture all the while reviewing the finest craft beers that our home state of Michigan has to offer. Unpolished but honest is the best way to describe our style. Occasionally we up our game and invite our friends to join us. They may join us just for the Political or the Cultural topic, or both, but most certainly for the beer! Please give a listen and stay on board. Pod’ems UP!
