Drinking PartnersDrinking Partners #261 - Sydney Davis | Artist Talk Mental HealthWhat does the name “Drinking Partners Podcast” tell you? It’s probably some guys who appreciate a stiff drink (and maybe T-Pain), chopping it up with guests. Now take “Artist Talk Mental Health”: this week’s guest, Sydney Davis began to host gatherings especially for Black artists and creatives after recognizing so many of her artist friends struggling with their mental health. “It’s giving an opportunity for artists to get up on a platform and be like, not only is this my art, but this is the story behind it,” she tells Ed and Day. ATMH prides itself on creating a safe...

Drinking PartnersDrinking Partners #260 - Russell General Contracting “I’m tired of tearing shit down,” says Montae Russell. “Let me build something up.” This kind of constructive, uplifting mindset is often heard on the Drinking Partners podcast, but never quite so literally. Montae is one-half of the husband and wife duo behind Russell General Contracting (5:50). He’s lead carpenter; Alexis works as consultant. Together, they have helped to preserve Pittsburgh, and the nation’s, cultural heritage, working on both the National Negro Opera House and the August Wilson House. Not only are Alexis and Tae savvy small business owners, but they’re parents, too. (They even have some ch...

It’s Boring’s first time on a can. The beer is from Altered Genius, where he brews. His face is next to Day’s face. And their faces are next to Daelyn’s face. It’s a “3 Day Weekend”–a highly drinkable, dark kolsch-style altered ale, perfect for MLK Day, or any other righteous occasion. Ed, Day and DaShawn talk about the beer collab, the perils of dating a vegan, and the Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe. This one’s for the Beaver C...

But has the fame gotten to their oversized, 6-foot tall heads? Hardly. They’re still men of the people–certainly not the types to turn down booze out of a mason jar. Which is good, because that’s how Erika Turner [4:50], co-founder and CEO of TLC Libations, has prepared some in-studio cocktails for this week’s episode. Turner is the daughter half of the mother-daughter ownership team behind Western PA’s first Black-owned...

Ochai, who listeners might recognize as the creative director of America's best Black arts and craft beer festival, Barrel & Flow, reveals to Day and Ed why he briefly lost his joy for painting: “I was trying to create something that people would like, instead of creating from something that was inside me.” The comment prompts a conversation about what inspires real, meaningful artistry, no matter the form...

Mike Barnes, aka Big Easy, tells the Drinking Partners that after 20 years working in kitchens down South, he thought his days as a chef were over. Then word of his home cooking got out among friends. A few years and $10 pans of jambalaya later, he’s got his own spice collection and catering company, Roux Orleans, where he’s making catfish, crawfish, and gumbo so good that all you can say is “fa...

Também falamos sobre como a guerra civil chinesa, entre nacionalistas e comunistas, ganhou novos contornos com a tomada da Manchúria pelo Japão e como o Exército de Libertação Popular liderado por Mao Tsé-Tung venceu a disputa contra os nacionalistas de Chiang Kai-Shek após a derrota japonesa para os norte-americanos.

Mas ao invés de ser um retorno aos tempos gloriosos dos séculos anteriores, esse renascimento ocorreu à revelia do Estado chinês, que estava mais preocupado com as guerras no norte do que com o mundo ultramarino. É neste contexto que surgem as guildas familiares de comércio no litoral sul da China (as cohongs em Cantão e Fujian) e que as companhias de comérci...
