Each episode is a long-form deep dive designed to take you through a topic from beginning to end—exploring the foundations, the mechanics, the tensions, and the bigger picture in a clear, structured way. The show begins with our own curiosity. We choose the subjects, shape the questions, and follow the threads we want to understand more deeply. From there, we use AI as part of the creative process to help organize ideas, build the narrative, and turn that exploration into a coherent long-form story. The final audio is then created using Google LM to make each deep dive practical to listen to while walking, driving, or moving through everyday life. This show is not built to hand you an answer or tell you what to think. It exists to help frame complex topics more clearly, deepen understanding, and leave you with a broader perspective than you had when you started. The goal is to satisfy curiosity, explore ideas honestly, and help listeners understand the full picture in a world that usually stops at the headline.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T04:19:47.286814+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-never-stop-learning-podcast-7776213"},"episode":{"title":"Bourbon: The Story Behind the Glass","slug":"bourbon-the-story-behind-the-glass","published_at":"2026-04-01T06:04:25+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-never-stop-learning-podcast-7776213/bourbon-the-story-behind-the-glass","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-never-stop-learning-podcast-7776213","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/the-never-stop-learning-podcast/2677526","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/378947/2677526/the-never-stop-learning-podcast/2026_03_31_12_34_17_8f4e7464-c289-46c5-8153-4b70c9ed4c97.mp3","summary":"Bourbon: The Story and Business Behind the Glass...Bourbon is one of the most talked-about spirits in America, but most people only know it through the bottles, the myths, and the chase. In this episode, we go much deeper — into the history of bourbon, how it is made, what the barrel and rickhouse really do, why bourbon became an American tradition, and why it is such a difficult business behind the scenes. We also explore the modern bourbon boom, the massive buildup of inventory in Kentucky, and why the industry now looks very different than it did just a few years ago. This is a true deep dive into bourbon for anyone who wants to understand the story behind the drink.","meta_description":"Bourbon: The Story and Business Behind the Glass...Bourbon is one of the most talked-about spirits in America, but most people only know it through the bo…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2627,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-never-stop-learning-podcast-7776213/episodes/bourbon-the-story-behind-the-glass/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-never-stop-learning-podcast-7776213/bourbon-the-story-behind-the-glass.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
