Lit & Liquor
by Lit & Liquor
On a rainy day after losing at pub trivia for the 874th time (we still know you cheated, Cave Dwellers), three friends with a mutual love for literature and liquor decided to quit while they were behind and start a podcast instead. Welcome to Lit & Liquor, where the only pretentious thing is our profile picture. 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.
Episodes

The Shots Heard Round the World S3E11
This week, Lit & Liquor made the decision to dive back into a self-published anthology, though if your hopes are getting up, we'll crush them now and say that unfortunately, there is no pirate/Irish/Scottish accent blend in this episode. We hope you'll forgive us for this oversight. Instead, we...
-
Our Inner Nerd Unleashed S3E10
We've allowed ourselves to be vulnerable this week, guys. Our geekiness, while never hidden away completely on this show, came out to play in full force with this long awaited (by us, anyway) anime episode. It was Kassandra's first time dipping a toe into these beautiful animated waters, but…
more -
Kings in the Ring S3E09
Pitting romance novels against each other just didn't prove to be enough of a battle for our bloodthirsty selves, so we came up with a different mix to throw into the ring: father versus son in the combination of Stephen King and his son, Joe King or as the literary world knows him, Joe Hill. You...
-
Somnambulistic Samurai vs. Vigorous Viking S3E08
You hear that noise? Quiet, quiet... ah, yes, that one. The sound of a Viking warlord soundly spanking his captive. Not your cup of tea? Well, ours neither but you can look forward to such things in this weeks romance novel face off episode! Last rounds winner, the samurai, is represented by...
-
My Hitler Mustache is Coming In S3E07
There's nothing we like better than real history packaged as fiction with a little--or a lot--of dramatic flair. There's nothing we mutually dislike more than Nazis, and our books this week delivered some of both. Ashley has a personal connection with our first book, "Citizen 865" by Debbie...
-
Let the Bodies Hit the Floor, Not the Beer S3E06
If you, too, have felt serial killer urges at any point while dealing with people in a grocery store... well, officially we have to tell you: you should seek counseling. Unofficially, you should know you're not alone and might find this episode where we read two serial killer books a little...
-
Tinge, Tilt, Tint, Twitch, Tilt, Taste S3E05
Behold a momentous day in L&L history: we knew when a fruit was in season...and we actually managed to get it and use it in our drink. Dragonfruit, this time, we win. Anyways. This week we're back into (and I quote), "some weird ass alien shit" with "Dawn" by Octavia Butler. Over an In Case of...
-
Liquor Only--Corona Edition S3E04
You really thought we'd let quarantine pass us by without discussing how it's just an excuse for us all to drink? Join us for all kinds of Corona madness--the beer, the seltzer, the refresca, the mixed drink, and of course the virus--in a special liquor-only episode.
-
Our Apologies to the World of Rum S3E03
As is so often the case for Lit & Liquor, this week we drunkenly stumbled into a new and popular genre: Brazilian crime novels. Who knew? From a list of the top thrillers in this category, we chose "Blood of the Wicked" by Leighton Gage, and spoiler alerts: there was a lot of blood, and there was…
more -
Toss A Coin to Your Liquor S3E02
Our first full book and liquor episode for season three dives right into current culture, since we never met a Netflix show we couldn't binge watch by justifying it's 'for the podcast, all for the podcast!' Not to mention, with a shirtless Henry Cavill for Ashley and Kassandra, and some great...
-
Third Year, Fifth Drink is the Charm S3E01
Don't worry y'all, CoronaVirus hasn't got us yet! We were just unable to talk due to our mouths being stuffed with quarantine snacks. In these uncertain times, we all need a laugh, so look no further than our somewhat-New Orleans themed kick off to the start of Lit & Liquor's third season! Our...
-
You Know What I Taste? Regret S2E19
It's completely unclear to us why we continue to do these blind tastings, especially when escalating to tequila as we did this week, but just assume all the cocktails and bad trashy romances have finally rotted out our brains, just like Mom always warned. This tasting went just about exactly as…
more -
Serial Killers, Please Sponsor Us S2E18
We always seek to educate and better ourselves at Lit & Liquor, and we like to think all our listeners reap the benefits of our investigations, trials, errors, and the occasional success. This week, you can tune in and discover some rather fascinating information, like that Gypsies used it be...
-
Werewolf Porn & Stuff S2E17
It's inevitable that just about every show or celebrity or author becomes a sell out at some point. We're sorry to say we reached that point. We betrayed you, listeners. Deeply but hopefully not irrevocably. That's right. We went digital this week. 100% digital. But if you can move past that…
more -
A Very Lit & Liquor Hogswatch S2E16
We tried to have a nice, classy, literary Christmas episode, we really did. We thought we did everything right, choosing a nice holiday book like "The Hogfather" by Terry Pratchet, and each bringing a Christmas cocktail of our own choosing: Kassandra's Cranpeary Martini, Ashley's Fauxloma, and...
-
Nubile Ninja vs. Bland Boss S2E15
If you've been waiting on pins and needles for a great suggestion for a great new naughty boss romance since our last romance novel face off....sorry, but you'll have to wait even longer. Oops, did we say that out loud? Our wants for this week ended up being a challenge, as it turns out badass...
-
You Take My Country, I Take Your Wife S2E14
After a good (omen) time last episode, this week we venture to a darker side by delving into World War II, exploring all things in bombings, mutti's in suitcases, and marital affairs. First up is "The Aftermath" by Rhidian Brook, which explores the British occupation of Hamburg--which was nearly...
-
Take That, Triscuit! S2E13
It's a duel of the crackers, and Cheez Its won the prize, thanks to their ally, wine. Only to ultimately lose when Lit & Liquor devoured them. Today we explored the unconventional pairing of Cheez Its and wine. Per Cheez Its website, there are certain types of flavors that pair better with…
more -
Drink & the Devil Chapter 2 S2E12
We're like a dog with a bone about Stephen King, especially when it comes to 'It', so here's the review you probably weren't even waiting for! Our thoughts on the movie It: Chapter 2. We talk all things first movie, new movie, oldest movie from the 1990's, the book, casting, and just about...
-
Saga Did It First, Fable Was Just a Cover Band S2E11
Lit & Liquor is no stranger to three things: poorly written literature (see: every other episode), alcohol that tastes more like motor oil (see: Bamboo Bullshit or Gin for the Win), and high emotions (see: every episode we've ever made). However, we don't know that the emotion of disappointment…
more -
Back Alley Brain Surgery S2E10
Lit & Liquor's triumphant return with the first of our brand new episodes is somewhat diminished by book quality this week, but don't worry, we pull through the good and the bad like always. Mostly with the aid of, you guessed it, extra liquor. Pulling us through the rough patches this week is a...
-
Bamboo Bullshit S2E09
Bamboo Bullshit 09.17 by Lit & Liquor
-
Have Your Cake & Kill It Too S2E08
We're nothing if not about equality here at Lit & Liquor Inc. (sponsor us, someone, anyone) and so if we previously did a challenge of which guy-hero would you rather have at your back, we couldn't rest until we'd done girl-hero too. We kick things off with "Deja Dead" by Kathy Reichs, the hit...
-
No Redeemable Qualities S2E07
We all like to like books, but this week Lit & Liquor turned everything on its ear by finding three "anti-heroes" and seeing if we thought the title was appropriate (spoiler alert: it was). The first is a series of three short stories from "Night Winds" about Karl Edward Wagner's Kane, paired…
more -
Vegetable, Mineral, Butterfly Peaflower S2E06
Is it tea? Or is it just leftover broccoli water? Make some Butterfly Peaflower Tea, and you too can be left stumped by these questions and more. It's the main ingredient for our aptly named drink, The Beaudelaire, made in honor of Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events", which we read...
-
Leave the Sexpionage Behind S2E05
Welcome back! We're sorry we ghosted you like that for a year and half, but hopefully you're as desperate as most girls on Tinder and will take us back with no questions asked and rules you don't mean. We have a few episodes that have gotten better with age, like a fine wine or Betty White. The...
-
We're Back, Bitches S2E4.5
We're back, bitches. Miss us? Look for new episodes every other Tuesday, because the Lit train is rolling and we're all sitting at the bar in the dining car. We hope you'll hop back aboard as well, or maybe for the first time.
-
Alien Brains--Congealed, Not Stirred S2E04
We’ve made many mistakes here at Lit & Liquor, some with liquor, and some with literature. We like to think you’re all out there learning from our humble mistakes, and if there’s one takeaway we’ve learned repeatedly over the last year, it’s this vital piece of information: DO NOT UNDER ANY...
-
Brazen Boss Vs. Obscure Outlaw S2E03
A tragic tale of goat cheese olives, outlaws, and office blow jobs. We return with our latest and greatest Romance Novel Face Off: Billionaire Boss vs. Angsty Outlaw. This week Max King meets Lee Raven in the ring with a few drinks on the side and a special edition 'Dramatic Reading by Sam…

A Transcendent Experience With a Blow Up Doll S1E44
Because we just can’t get enough of the King family, we decided to go on to the next generation with Joe Hill, AKA Joe King, and his collection of short stories, “20th Century Ghosts”. Opinions were a mixed bag, as were the variety of stories, but the cocktails were a unanimous five shots all...
-
#JusticeForMews S1E43
Demagorgon versus Pennywise. The Upside Down versus the weird existential turtle universe thing. Stranger Things versus It. But when one is so clearly paying tribute to the other, is it really a competition? Join the debate to find out our thoughts as we discuss all things Stranger Things, It…

-
A Thoughtful Erotic Dance S1E41
Lit & Liquor does things our usual style this week, going from zero to sixty with talk of Disney movies and then straight to Sultry Dwarf and hot sex in a bathtub. We even throw in a little conversation so you don't feel too used afterward. First we'll warm you up with our drink, a delicious...
