Episode 4 - Lear Mason of Some Days Are Darker

On this episode of Whiskey Morgue, Mike sits down for a drink with Lear Mason, the lead singer of the rising gloom-rock band Some Days Are Darker. They dive into the band’s freshly released LP, TV-MA, and explore Lear’s remarkable musical journey, including how this unique project came to life. The conversation uncovers how the band skillfully weaves themes of gothic romance and noir cinema into their sound, all fueled by Lear’s artistic vision and marketing expertise. Mike even makes the case for why Some Days Are Darker deserves a spot on every vampire movie soundtrack.
And of course, there’s whiskey. Lear reveals his personal connection to Frank August bourbon, explaining why it’s the perfect pairing for TV-MA and the superior alternative to Blanton’s. 
This episode is a long one, but it’s packed with epic stories and a lot of laughs. Go listen to TV-MA and catch them on tour in 2025! Cheers!
Stay Spooky!

Episode 2 - Miles Munroe of Westward Whiskey

In this episode, Mike sits down with Miles Munroe, the Master Blender of Westward Whiskey, for a conversation that blends two of their favourite things: whiskey and horror. Miles shares the story behind Westward Whiskey, from its origins to the unique processes that make it an award-winning standout in the American Single Malt world.
They also take a deep dive into Miles’ journey into the whiskey industry, hearing how his passion for the craft helped him carve out a name for himself. Naturally, drinking is involved as Miles walks Mike through a tasting of three distinct Westward expressions: Original, Pinot Noir, and Stout. What makes this tasting even more fun? They pair each expression with some of their favorite horror flicks!
Miles is not only a well of knowledge when it comes to whiskey, but also a true aficionado of horror - the trashier the better! Cool, charismatic, and a great storyteller, this conversation is one I truly enjoyed—and I think you will too.
Cheers, and Stay Spooky!
