We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Chrissy & Molly Benjamin & Berry a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Chrissy & Molly, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear the story of how you went from this being just an idea to making it into something real.
In 2021, Chrissy had a wild idea—what if she and Molly started a podcast to document their boozy adventures? As lifelong friends with a passion for “libation vacations,” they’d already spent 20 years exploring new bars, breweries, and drink experiences together. Molly was all in, and The Boozy Blondes Podcast was born!
Contrary to what the name might suggest, we are as organized as we are boozy. We dove into research—learning the ins and outs of podcasting, securing studio space, testing recording apps, selecting proper hardware and software, and even designing our logo and branding. With swag in hand and social media accounts launched, we set our sights on our Season 1 lineup, committed to delivering consistent, high-energy content twice a month.
Chrissy & Molly, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
The Boozy Blondes Podcast is your bi-monthly passport to the world of cocktails, craft brews, and unforgettable adventures. Hosted by two best friends—we’ve been partners in crime for nearly two decades—this podcast is all about celebrating the beverage industry while exploring the best bars, restaurants, cities, cruises, and festivals around the globe. From themed parties to theme parks, roughing it in the wilderness to sipping Champagne at Michelin-starred hotels, we’ve done it all together — and always with a drink in hand.
But let’s be clear: booze isn’t just a sidekick; it’s a passion. While we don’t need a drink to enjoy our escapades, we certainly love indulging in the ever-evolving world of craft cocktails, breweries, and innovative drink trends. Whether it’s a new Ready-to-Drink (RTD) cocktail, a CBD-infused creation, or the latest science-backed spirit, we’re here for it—and we’re bringing you along for the ride.
What started as a way to document our boozy adventures has evolved into a full-fledged mission to spotlight bars, breweries, and brands that deserve the hype. We know that when travelers are looking for the best places to drink, firsthand recommendations are key—so consider us your go-to guides, delivering expert picks with a side of humor.
Each episode takes you somewhere new: a city-hopping bar crawl, a deep dive into our 20-year friendship, or a spirited debate about life’s most pressing drinking dilemmas. Part travel guide, part comedy hour, and 100% dedicated to booze-fueled fun, The Boozy Blondes Podcast helps fellow drink enthusiasts find the best spots to sip, savor, and celebrate—whether it’s a hidden speakeasy, a brewery with an epic beer pong setup, or a rooftop bar with unbeatable happy hour specials.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
We, the Boozy Blondes, are not only masters of drinking, we are also masters of juggling — balancing full-time careers, part-time gigs, family time, work travel, personal adventures, and the occasional (much-needed) moment of downtime. With so much on our plates, it would be easy to let the podcast slip through the cracks — but that’s simply not an option. Our dedication to consistency and delivering valuable content is the foundation of the Boozy Blondes brand.
No matter how chaotic life gets, we hold ourselves accountable—not just to each other, but to our listeners and the community we’ve built. Whether it means recording late at night, squeezing in editing sessions between flights or in the backseat of our husbands’ vehicles (you should really see Chrissy’s first-class road trip set up!), or brainstorming new content on the go, we do whatever it takes to keep the content coming. Through every challenge, our passion and commitment prove that resilience isn’t just about pushing through—it’s about showing up, time and time again.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
We’ve built our reputation in the beverage industry through unwavering commitment, accountability, and a true passion for what we do. Our dedication to showing up, delivering valuable content, and maintaining consistency has set us apart, proving we’re not here just for the fun (while that is a very important aspect of why we do what we do!) — we’re here to contribute to the industry in a meaningful way.
As we connect with new people in the beverage community, we bring more than just enthusiasm—we bring a well-crafted platform that highlights brands, experiences, and industry peers with authenticity and credibility. By consistently showcasing standout products, venues, and personalities, we’ve built trust and established ourselves as a go-to source for insights, recommendations, and entertainment.
When we discover something we love — a unique cocktail, a must-visit bar, an inspiring industry professional, or an unforgettable drinking experience — we don’t just enjoy it, we amplify it! Our reputation is rooted in our genuine excitement to share these finds with the world, creating a ripple effect that benefits the brands and people we feature while further solidifying our place in the industry.
