Episode 201: Drinks (But No Texting) While You Watch At The Alamo Drafthouse

Today on The Speakeasy, we're joined in the studio by Vanessa Brown and Vincent Favella.

Vincent is one of host Sother Teague's oldest friends in the city of New York, while Vanessa Brown has the sweet job title of "director of fun" over at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema (and okay, Vincent works there too).

The theater chain invites viewers to order food and drink from stealthy waiters while they watch anything from the latest comedy to indie classics. That doesn't mean they tolerate any texting, but even if you get kicked out, there's always the bar.

Five years after his first appearance on The Speakeasy, book author Brad Thomas Parsons is back in the studio (with photographer Ed Anderson) to talk about his new book: Amaro.

Research on the liqueur took him to Italy, where amaro was born but now belongs to the older generation.

After the break, Parsons pours a few amaros and tells us all about their backstory (and flavor profiles).
