Heavily Buzzed The Podcast

After a heroic two-month hiatus that started as Dry January and somehow… emotionally spilled into February, Koko and Jeff Lam are back behind the mics and ready to make up for lost buzz. 🍸 If it sounds like we're walking around our place while recording this, we may have been a little active and the mics weren't ready for our madness! 😛 We apologize in advance!
In this Pre-Oscars episode of the Heavily Buzzed Podcast, the duo introduces a brand-new segment: “What’s the Buzz?” where nothing is off the table and everything is fair game. From the realities of menopause to shifting world views, from the best spirits worth sipping to the generational chaos of Gen X vs. Gen Z, Koko and Jeff dive headfirst into the topics everyone’s talking about (and a few people are avoiding).
Of course, with the Oscars around the corner, they’re breaking down their movie picks, predictions, and passionate opinions, including potential snubs like Rental Family starring Brendan Fraser and the long-awaited Marty Supreme with Timothée Chalamet. 🎬
Yes, there will still be a spirit or two making a guest appearance this is Heavily Buzzed after all, but this season the conversation goes a little deeper. Because life isn’t always just cocktails and punchlines. Sometimes it’s about talking honestly about the stuff that matters… even if it gets a little uncomfortable.
So grab a drink (or don’t, we respect the break), settle in, and find out what’s buzzing. 🐝

We also explore gems from the Vintage Series and get the scoop on the ever-evolving core lineups of these legendary distilleries.
But it wouldn’t be Heavily Buzzed without a little extra flavor superpowers, time travel, and tales of the one and only Richard Paterson, the whisky world’s most theatrical legend.
So pour yourself a glass, settle in, and join us for a rich, entertaining, and seriously buzzed journey into the world (and future) of whisky-making. Slàinte!
