This week we take a look back at the past five years of Chandler’s time in New York City—post-COVID edition.

From surviving lockdown to navigating the chaos of a city that never sleeps (but definitely naps), we’re cracking jokes, sharing stories, and asking: Was That In Good Taste?

This week, Just Call Me James and Chandler Phillips dive headfirst into the neon-soaked, chaotic world of Hyperpop—the genre that’s as addictive as it is polarizing. Is it the sound of late-stage capitalism, a queer counter-culture revolution, or just musical chaos? Let’s find out.

This week on Was That In Good Taste, we're diving into the crossover of cultures, fandom, and appreciation with "White People & Wu-Tang."

From the legacy of Wu-Tang Clan to their impact across audiences, we’re exploring what it means when cultural icons transcend their origins.

Of course, we're sipping on the perfect pair of drinks for the occasion—an Old Dirty Bastard cocktail and Saint Ides malt liquor. But is it appreciation or appropriation? Let’s break it down, one sip at a time.

With Dry January in the rearview mirror, it's time to TURN IT UP! Join us as we clear the bar, reflect on going dry and get a lil sloppy in the process

What if your perception of reality isn’t as clear as you think? This week, we take a deep dive into the idea of altered states—how they shape our experiences, challenge our understanding of the world, and why so many people seek them out. From questioning the structures that define our daily lives to exploring ways we can shift our perspectives, this episode is all about stepping outside the norm—sometimes in unexpected ways. Plus, we’re still keeping it Dry January, but that doesn’t mean we’re not exploring new ways to open our minds. Sit back, tune in, and let’s talk about the boundaries of perception, creativity, and the human experience.

This week on Behind the Bar, we're continuing our Dry January journey by diving back into the world of cannabis-infused beverages! In this episode, we explore the idea of being "California Sober"—cutting out alcohol but embracing alternatives like cannabis—and reflect on how it fits into modern drinking culture.

Our featured drink is TBD Green Tea Lemonade (Intense 25/25), a refreshing and potent blend with 25mg of THC and 25mg of CBD per can. We break down its flavor, the effects, and how it compares to other cannabis drinks we've tried. Whether you're curious about going California Sober or just want to hear our take on this unique beverage, you won’t want to miss this one.

we’re diving into The Pod Bro Problem. From Joe Rogan to the endless sea of "bro-y" podcasts that dominate the airwaves, we’re dissecting what makes the "Pod Bro" archetype so popular, yet so problematic. With humor and self-reflection, we explore how this phenomenon influences the podcasting world, why it often misses the mark, and—most importantly—how we can strive to be better, more inclusive, and more thoughtful creators. Grab a NA drink, tune in, and let’s talk about breaking the podcasting echo chamber. Follow us:.

New year, new us!

In the first Was That In Good Taste of the year, we’re diving into revolutions—no, not the kind with pitchforks, but personal revolutions.

We're talking about the big changes we hope to make this year, kicking things off with Dry January (yes, we’re attempting it… probably).

From self-improvement to setting the vibe for the months ahead, this episode is all about fresh starts and figuring out how to keep the momentum going. It’s time to set the tone for 2024, so grab a (non-alcoholic) drink and join us for the ride!
