	Description:		Jimmy caps off a wonderful year of amazing guests with Tim McKirdy, co-founder of The Coaster - an independent podcast network. On this episode, the duo talk about Tim's early work as a writer/editor at VinePair, the meaning of "splitting the G", Mezcal, the negative impacts of monoculture, and the announcement of Sauced- a new show on The Coaster with HRN's own, Sother Teague! - The Coaster The Coaster is an independent podcast network founded by Tim McKirdy, former Managing Editor of VinePair and creator/host of the Cocktail College podcast; JP Watson, founder of UK-based independent publisher The Pound Project; and Gabriela Marchand, a veteran drinks publicist and PR strategist. Based in Brooklyn, NY, The Coaster creates podcasts that explore culture through the lens of what we drink. Each show focuses on a different and specific aspect of culture — from food and film to music, literature, and history — revealing the role alcohol plays in shaping the stories we tell and the lives we live. The network’s flagship show, Sauced, launches January 8, 2026. Sauced Sauced is a weekly podcast about cooking with booze and drinking with food, co-hosted by Tim McKirdy, a drinks journalist and former VinePair editor, and Sother Teague, a noted bartender, bar owner (Amor y Amargo), and author. Both hosts began their careers in professional kitchens before shifting into the drinks world; Sauced brings those paths back together. Each episode spotlights a classic dish prepared with alcohol, a recipe elevated by booze, or an iconic food-and-drink pairing. The goal is simple: connect what’s on the plate and in the pan to what’s in the glass, and explore how alcohol shapes the flavor, story, and culture of the dishes we love.
