    What Happens When Passions Collide? Distiller, Author, Musician - Shawn Martin

    Send us Fan MailDrums and Rums is back — from Key West!Paul takes the show on the road for a special conversation from Papa’s Pilar Rum Distillery in Key West with distiller, rum enthusiast, musician and newly published author Shawn Martin, who writes under the name Shawn Michael Dean.Shawn's path to making rum wasn't exactly planned. With a background in marine biology, he came to Key West working as a scuba instructor and boat captain before what was supposed to be a temporary job at a new distillery turned into nearly a decade of making and experimenting with rum.In this episode, Paul and Shawn dig into how the rum industry has evolved, why rum is often misunderstood, and why the spirit deserves the same appreciation given to bourbon, Scotch and whiskey.Shawn also takes us inside the creative side of distilling — experimenting with fermentation, different distillation techniques, barrel finishes and small-batch Distillery Reserve releases. And since we're recording at the distillery, we don't just talk about them…we taste a few along the way.The conversation goes well beyond rum, too.We explore the history of the building and its connections to old Key West and Ernest Hemingway, the creation of the Hemingway Social Club, Key West's music scene, tiki culture, and Shawn's newest creative adventure: becoming an author.After nearly 10 years of writing on and off, Shawn recently released his first novel, Coral Bay, under the name Shawn Michael Dean — and he's already thinking about what comes next.It's rum, science, history, music, writing, Key West and a few good laughs along the way.In other words, exactly what Drums and Rums is supposed to be:Where the Backbeats Meet the Spirits.

    Shut Up and Sing!

    Send us Fan MailWhile Paul is away, Brad Brock takes over the microphone for another Morning Coffee Rant and dives into the latest debate surrounding The Black Crowes’ recent concert controversy: should artists simply “play the songs,” or do audiences have to accept that performers are human beings with opinions, personalities, and the occasional impulse to speak their minds?With his trademark humor, rock-and-roll perspective, and plenty of coffee-fueled commentary, Brad explores the line between entertainment and expression. He discusses the unpredictable magic of live performances, the clash between audience expectations and artistic authenticity, and how internet outrage often says more about us than the moment that started the argument.

    Concerts: No Phones Allowed?

    Send us Fan MailIn this morning coffee rant, Brad Brock, podcast network partner and host of the Jams ‘n’ Cocktails podcast, steps in for Paul and tackles a surprisingly divisive topic:  Phones at concerts. Are they a harmless way to capture memories, or are they ruining the very experiences we paid to enjoy? Brad explores both sides of the debate, from the value of preserving special moments and supporting artists through social sharing, to the growing frustration of watching a live performance through a sea of glowing screens. Brad also shares his experience with Yondr phone-locking pouches at a comedy show in Austin and discuss whether phone-free events actually create a better atmosphere. Along the way, he breaks down the pros, cons, and common-sense etiquette that could make concerts more enjoyable for everyone—and explains why transparency from artists and venues may be the most important piece of the puzzle.
