Episode 5 | How Drunk Is Too Drunk To Do A Podcast

Title: Drumbeats and Holidays: From Lansing to Solitary Nights

Celebrate the holidays with Josie and Pete in this lively and unconventional episode of The Drumbeat. Recorded fireside with festive drinks (shoutout to the dill pickle martinis—never again), they share heartfelt laughs, personal stories, and unfiltered reflections. From the chaos of Lansing’s lame-duck session and the push for Second Look legislation to quirky holiday traditions and shoutouts to Detroit’s underground music scene (hello, Sonic Smut!), this episode has something for everyone.

Pete offers vivid stories from his time in solitary confinement, shedding light on resilience and humanity in the face of adversity, while Josie reflects on what it means to advocate for meaningful change. Listener questions, holiday memories, and the spirit of community make this a perfect blend of humor, insight, and heartfelt connection.

As they wrap up Season 1, Josie and Pete express their gratitude for the listeners who’ve joined them on this journey and tease what’s to come in Season 2. Tune in for a holiday celebration full of laughter, camaraderie, and a dash of policy and mischief. Season 2 premieres in January with a thought-provoking question: “What don’t you know, you don’t know?” 🎄🎶
