Amateur Intellectuals is a podcast where two friends bring their curiosity and irreverent sense of humor as they explore a myriad of intellectual topics. Equipped with the fervor and qualifications non-experts, Master of Communication Caitlin and Bachelor of No Fine Art Kendall challenge their minds and livers as they laugh, learn, and libate with an on-theme cocktail.
Each Sunday, Caitlin and Kendall bring their thirst for knowledge (and alcohol) as they tackle new topics, share personal stories and laugh hard along the way - as only Amateur Intellectuals can.

The Chicks 🎸🐥🐥🐥🎻
Cowboy, take me away because I'm not ready to make nice. I need wide open spaces and I'm ready, ready, ready, ready to run.
No, that's not just Kendall's mantra, it's some wise words from a trio of trendsetters, pioneers and button-pushers, The Chicks (formerly known as the Dixie Chicks). Kendall schools us on who they always were as a band and group icon, how they're adapting to a changing world and why we should adore them now more than ever. Grab a drink and let's go!

This one’s a shot and it’s easy to make. It’s…
1 part Grenadine
2 parts Mentholmint schnapps
4 parts blue curacao.
Directions:
It’s supposed to be a layered shot, so get a tall shot glass. Pour the Grenadine first, gently add the schnapps and top it with the Blue Curacao. It’ll look like Sonic’s red shoes, his legs and then his blue body on top.
