Let's Talk About Stuff!

Podcasting with whiskey might not be a good idea for the “pros” but here at LTAS we live by our own rules. And during a pandemic… all rules are out. So I guess even our own loose rules don’t really apply. Except staying the hell at home! We can all agree on that. It’s a tough world out there right now so grab yourself a glass and sit by the podcasting fire with us as we flap our maws and try to ma...

We hit all the big, typical Irish t...
