We start things off letting you know what’s up on this episode. We also let you know about some upcoming episodes for which to be on the lookout.
Then, we have our featured interview. We welcome Umberto Luchini co-onwer of Blood x Sweat x Tears Vodka located in Eugene, Oregon along with Ledy Vankavage, senior legislative attorney for Best Friends Animal Society.
We discuss issues connected to animal welfare and the programs Best Friends offers across the US. Among other things, they seek to reduce and eliminate the euthanization of shelter animals. In addition, they support, educate, and promote numerous other initiatives in support of animals. We touch on several of these.

Why vodka and animal welfare? The founder and head distiller of BST Vodka, Ben Green, has a connection to the cause. This is due, in large part, to his special rescue pit bull, Mr. Pickles. The company actively supports and fundraises for Best Friends.
Ledy and Umberto stick around for our podcast-only segment, “Another Shot with NOLADrinks.” We talk a bit further about the issue of animal welfare. But, we mainly sip on and learn more about Blood x Sweat x Tears Vodka.
