Paul Waggoner (BTBAM, Nightflyer Roastworks)
On this week's episode I'm joined by Paul Waggoner, guitarist of Between the Buried and Me and founder/head roaster of Nightflyer Roastworks in Charlotte, NC. We spend some time talking about the coffee industry, Paul's introduction to specialty coffee, BTBAM's upcoming tour, and the things he's missed the most about playing live shows. During the episode Paul was drinking a Nightflyer Roastworks original from the farm Coco Caja in Ecuador. I was enjoying a washed Guji Ethiopian roast from Hubert St-Jean. The Coco Caja has sweet sugary notes while the Guji bean was strong note of berry with honey and tea notes.

Gunnar Henderson (Fire & Flood)
On this episode I'm joined by Charleston, SC native and vocalist of Fire & Flood, Gunnar Henderson. I've know Gunnar for a number of years and it was great catching up with him about life, new music, and of course coffee. On this episode Gunnar was drinking a cup of caramel pecan roast from Cuppa Manna, roasted by Charleston Coffee Roasters, and I was enjoying a cup of Buhorwa roasted by Dispatch in Montreal. The Buhorwa is a washed single-origin Burundi bean with notes of orange citrus and honey. Super delicious!
