We love our books and we love our booze and see no reason not to enjoy them together, recording for y'all's enjoyment.We cover every book genre there is, from our romance novel face off's to book-to-movie adaption to nonfiction to fantasy to classics. We pair these with wine, beer, craft cocktails, and shots, doing all the dangerous tasting work so you don't have to suffer yourself. We hope to impart laughs, tasty drinks, horrible drinks (we all have revenge to serve...), and perhaps a little bit of wisdom. Join us bi-weekly for new episodes, and if you enjoy us--or don't--please leave us a review.

These are available because of the mediumship of our founder, Dr George King (1919-1997), who was a Master of yoga. The Mystic FM podcast provides concise and easy-to-understand insights into the key areas of spirituality that impact our everyday lives. Dr King attained the elevated state of samadhi and even beyond that, of cosmic consciousness. He was then chosen to be a channel for teachings by advanced Masters from beyond this Earth. To this day, these Masters from other worlds are providing essential help to both humanity and the planet at this time of great change. Not only this, they have given us an opportunity to cooperate with them.
