    Episode 3: Loggerhead Distillery
    Apr 14 2026
    Cal Evans visits Loggerhead Distillery in the heart of downtown Sanford, Florida, where two software engineers turned a layoff, a backyard full of oranges, and two years of lunch-break dreaming into one of Central Florida's most interesting craft spirits operations. From a batch of Florida rye that went sideways in a very big way to an apple pie moonshine that sold out so fast it had to come off seasonal rotation — this one has engineers, sea turtles, and a still that still haunts Chris to this day.

    Episode 2: Yalaha Bootlegging Company
    Mar 12 2026
    Cal Evans visits Yalaha Bootlegging Co. in Lake County, Florida, where third-generation farmer Doug McCormack is making moonshine the legal way — using organic blueberries from his own land and a family recipe that stayed hidden for 150 years. From a grandfather who never admitted a thing to a standoff with the FDA after the pandemic, this episode is full of characters, surprises, and genuinely great spirits.
