    MBC #52: A Canadian in Texas
    Filed under (Coffee Chat, Guest Show, Podcasts) by the second brain @ 02:27 am

    Canada and Texas Coffee Mugs-Our good friend and fellow podcaster, Ajay from All Axis Radio came all the way from Canada to join Jennifer and Jackie in the sound booth.

    - So what happens when a non-coffee drinker spends time with the Coffee Gals?

    - Texas stereotypes: The Good, The Bad and the Downright Hilarious

    - Driving in San Antonio is not for the faint of heart

    - Riverwalk fun: Ajay meets some REAL Mexicans
    Real Mexicans in San Antonio, TX
    - Jennifer manages to offend all kinds of folks on this show. Send your complaints to…..

    - Everything is bigger in Texas even the bugs

    - “Do be do be do” - Chocolate-covered coffee beans to the person who can name that tune.

    In case you can’t tell from all the laughter, we had an amazing time with Ajay. We hope to either make it to Canada soon or perhaps he’ll make a return visit. You know the old saying, ” I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as quick as I could.”

    If you want to hear some great Canadian Indie Rock, we highly recommend you head over to All Axis Radio. Tell Ajay the Coffee Gals sent ya.

Charles has some coffee bean roaster questions, offers us a helpful tech tip in regards to our new Grand Central Number 210.880.GALS (4257) and gives us a detailed explanation about the difference between basements and root cellars. Thanks so much Charles for your audio comments. Be sure and check out his shows. We find them both informative and entertaining!

    Jackie has some news about a coffee cup recall from Starbucks.

    There is also a report out that puts the Coffee Gals in a group of older affluent consumers. Does this mean snooty times ahead?

    MBC #42 The 7th Son Interview with JC Hutchins
    Filed under (Podcasts) by the second brain @ 12:17 am

    Jennifer and Jackie get chatty with JC Hutchins in preparation for the release of the third and final book in the 7th Son Trilogy.

    7th Son

    The Coffee Gals take part in the pre-release hoopla for the long awaited and highly anticipated audio novel. JC recaps Book I: Descent and Book II: Deceit and shares insight into the multi-faceted characters that make up 7th Son. We also reveal the characters that are on our favorites list.

    Then we get down to what’s really important…..THE COFFEE!

    We sent JC our favorite coffee (Kona Fancy) from What’s Brewing in advance of the interview. (We had to make sure he was good and caffeinated for the show) So we cover the coffee side of writing not one….not two…but THREE audio novels.

    A BIG thanks to JC for allowing us to represent The Great State of Texas in his pre-release interviews. We had a lot of fun and can’t wait to hear what’s coming up next for the Beta Clones, John Alpha and the rest of the 7th Son crew.

    Haven’t listened to the first two books yet? Not to worry. That’s what’s so great about podcasting. You can subscribe now to catch up on all the action.

    Thanks for subscribing to the Morning BrewCast! We love comments, coffee mug pictures, frappr map pins and feedback: morningbrewcast@gmail.com

    MBC Special Report #7
    Filed under (Coffee Chat, Podcasts) by the second brain @ 03:02 am

    We love to record our experiences on-the-fly and use our trusty iRiver IFP-890 to take care of these impromptu sessions. We’re usually not in the studio and so background activities can be heard. Enjoy the run regardless of fellow restaurant patrons and construction crews:

    Jennifer has another grit experience at a Waffle House with Amy Aubry. This time things turn out different this time. Jackie thinks she knows why.

    We had the opportunity to chat with Michael Verdi about his recent travels and the importance of coffee.
    Jackie wants to take an RV trip off the beaten path. Jennifer isn’t convinced. Could it be the influence of one too many scary movies?

    Jackie’s son tries coffee for the first time with mixed results. Perhaps there is one less person she has to worry about in line at the coffee pot.

    Thanks to Amy & Michael for joining us. We learned a thing or two and most of all we had FUN!

    Got a coffee or grit story you want to share? Then send us a line at morningbrewcast AT gmail DOT com

    We still looking for pictures of your favorite coffee mug.

    Thanks for listening & subscribing!
