BTL Shorts: Update

Mr. Hank Ingram, proprietor of O.H. Ingram River Aged Whiskey, joined me on the show well before the show became a thing. I ran into him in Nashville a few months back and finally rekindled this conversation. On this one, he discusses four years of progress with his aging brand. We hear about the business, his current offerings and opportunities, and tourism efforts throughout Central and Western Kentucky. We close on a few thoughts of his family, the Nashville Soccer Club, and his late grandmother, Chair Emerita for Ingram Industries.Check out his products:https://ingramwhiskey.com/https://ingram.kybourbondirect.com/

Hank shares his thoughts about his grandmother, the late Martha Rivers Ingram, who devoted her life to continuing education and the arts in the Nashville area, and to maintaining and preserving her husband's legacy.

On this one, Hank discusses product offerings, potential new projects, and his path farther now into the Bourbon world and the incorporation of local tourism to the mission. Full length episode debuts 10.26.26 at 18:00 CST!

I've stayed in touch with Charlie best I could since Thanksgiving 2025. It was through family on Facebook mostly. He's doing well in recovery and taking steps toward health and a new lease on life. I hope to have him back on the channel by year end, but that'll be on his schedule. Will keep you posted.Thanks for sticking around!

Hello again! I've missed you! In this brief return to publishing, you hear a bit from me regarding the current status of my podcasting journey. Stay tuned!

The band's back together for this one, but I'm not much needed til the end. We hear a bit about the M/V JOYCE HALE, Pilots Agree, the Professional Pilots Association, the American Inland Mariners and Gulf Coast Mariners Associations, Melvin and John Sutton, steersman, licensing, insurance, court proceedings, unions, marine casualties on the job, the Jones Act and its temporary suspension, and more.

The boys hop back on without me this time. Their schedules aligned on a work day for me so I set them up as the day began and stepped aside. Sam does his best to keep us on topic, but we hear in far greater detail than any time previously on this channel about David's experiences in South America representing ACBL on a pioneering effort with foreign governments to haul bauxite and iron ore by barge and find sustainable efficiencies to leave behind. They close out on a brief chat about the importance of a good engineer on board the vessel and a few more memories from their time on the water. I'll be back on the next one. Thanks for staying tuned!

From running boats to reading, writing, and religion, Retired Captains David Greer and Lee Hendrix rejoin me on the show to reminisce about, among other things, their lives, careers, and country.
