Twist Happy Hour Podcast
Welcome to Twist Happy Hour — where cocktails and conversations collide in the best way possible.
Hosted by two gals who love a well-shaken drink and an even better story, Twist Happy Hour is your invite to sit back, sip something delicious, and eavesdrop on the kind of chat you'd have with your funniest, most unfiltered friends. Each episode is 15 to 20 minutes—perfect for your coffee break, school pickup line, or post-work wind-down.
This isn’t a how-to bartending show. It’s happy hour with your besties—where no topic is too weird, too deep, or too random. Grab your drink (boozy or not) and join us as we sip and chat our way through five recurring categories:
🍸 1. Booze Culture
We nerd out over spirits, bar trends, and everything in between. From “why are cocktails $22 now?” to “is this canned cocktail actually drinkable?”—we’re here for the highs, lows, and hilarious moments of drinking culture. No gatekeeping. Just good drinks, fun facts, and maybe a little gossip.
Episodes might include:
- What bartenders really think of your go-to order
- The rise of the mocktail movement
- Rating celebrity liquor brands (yes, we have opinions)
🌍 2. Travel
Most of our best stories start with “so I was on a trip...” From dreamy destinations to total travel fails, we’re sharing the good, the bad, and the jet-lagged.
Episodes might include:
- Our favorite underrated travel gems
- Airplane etiquette debates (to recline or not to recline?)
- Travel horror stories (and the cocktails that helped us recover)
🌟 3. Celebrity Lore
Not gossip. Not news. Just vibes. This is a pop culture rabbit hole with a cocktail chaser. We explore the weird, wild corners of celebrity culture that make us laugh, raise eyebrows, or wonder what’s really going on.
Episodes might include:
- PR relationships: stunt or soulmates?
- If celebrities were cocktails...
- Weirdest celebrity urban legends (and why we hope they’re true)
📰 4. Current Events
From viral TikToks to “Wait, WHAT?” news headlines, we’re sipping through the stories lighting up the internet. No serious debates—just curious questions and chaotic commentary.
Episodes might include:
- Trend or Trash: what’s hot this week
- Girl Math vs. Boy Math
- Florida Man and other wild headlines
🎲 5. Never Have I Ever / But Did You Die? / What’s Up With That?
This is our storytime and confession zone. We unpack travel regrets, ask each other wild questions, and deep-dive into whatever random topic we can't stop thinking about.
Episodes might include:
- Never Have I Ever: Travel Edition
- What’s up with bachelorette trips lately?
- “Wait, THIS happened in the news?!”
Why listen to Twist Happy Hour?
→ Because you want fun, smart, and slightly unhinged.
→ You love travel but don’t pack capsule wardrobes.
→ You have big opinions on celebrity breakups and Girl Math.
→ And honestly, you’d rather laugh through the chaos of the world with two ridiculous women than hear another monotone news podcast.
We’re here for the group chat energy. The deep dives and the dumb stuff. The cocktails and the chaos.
New episodes drop every Thursday.
Follow, subscribe, and bring a drink—it’s always happy hour here.

Democrats, Where You At? Do We Still Have a Two-Party System in the USA? | Twist Happy Hour Ep.14
This week on Twist Happy Hour, we’re shaking up a Campfire Mule and wading straight into the mess of American politics. From “Where are the Democrats?” to “Do we still have a functional two-party system?”, Keryn and Kate trade receipts, jokes, and real frustration about leadership, legislation, and the whiplash of today’s headlines. It’s equal parts cocktail and civic therapy — with Kate learning her jigger (finally) and Keryn pushing whiskey season like it’s a public service.
Cocktail of the Week: Campfire Mule (Irish whiskey, lime, ginger beer)
