Did you ever have a really interesting conversation at a bar -- sharing ideas over a couple of martinis -- and wish you could've bottled it? That's Bar Crawl Radio . Rebecca McKean and Alan Winson invite amazing people to bars all over the word -- make a toast -- and then talk about about whatever inspires them -- makes their lives worth living. We talk to all sorts of interesting people doing important work for their community at a neighborhood bar -- composers -- actors -- musicians -- medical ethicists and practitioners -- playwrights & poets -- journalists -- politicians -- social activists -- community organizers & NGOs -- scientists -- brewers & mead makers -- businesspersons -- and fellow podcasters -- recording mostly in Manhattan's UWS. Who knows? BCR might be at a bar -- near you. Tell us what you think of our programming. CONTACT: <a href="mailto:barcrawlradio@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blan
