See The Manual Podcast Crew Live at the Portland Podcast Festival

Beards, Booze, and Bacon hit its one-year anniversary in October. For 12 months (and counting!), The Manual podcast crew — host Greg Nibler, managing editor Nicole Raney, and food and drink editor Sam Slaughter with regular pop-ins from Associate Editor of Lifestyle Chase McPeak and Live Content Producer Jake Rossman — has been bringing you the best interviews, thoughtful discussions, and awful puns about topics ranging from barbecue to men’s style to camping and, of course, drinking.

What’s a redneck sous-vide? How does one become an IndyCar driver? What are the latest fashion trends right now? How do I read a wine menu? We’ve answered all of those questions and more with the help of amazing guests like chefs Hugh Acheson and Angie Mar; booze experts like the CEO of Harpoon Brewery, Dan Kenary, and wine guru Katherine Cole; and many, many more.

Which is why we are so very proud, excited, and humbled to announce that Beards, Booze, and Bacon is a part of the 2018 lineup for the Portland Podcast Festival.

What’s that? Never heard of the Portland Podcast Festival? Get in the know, my friend.

The Portland Podcast Festival was founded in 2017 by Jason Lamb (Minority Retort), Sarah X. Dylan (Funemployment Radio), and Greg Nibler (also of Funemployment Radio). If that name sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the very same Greg who hosts of Beards, Booze, and Bacon (and Trends with Benefits and Between the Streams, if you’re fans of The Manual’s tech-focused brother site, Digital Trends). The idea of the fest was to bring together the city’s podcast community to celebrate some of the best shows, hilarious chats, and real discussion you can find anywhere on this planet. The lineup includes live performances from Beards, Booze, and Bacon, as well as other stellar podcasts in the Portland area.

The two-day fest will take over Landmark Saloon and Hawthorne Theatre on Friday, November 9 and Saturday, November 10, respectively. The Manual crew will be on stage at 6:20 p.m. on Friday at Landmark Saloon. If you’re in Portland, we seriously encourage you to come out — we’d love to see you! Tickets are just $10. And we may or may not be talking about these.

You can catch up on all of our back episodes on iTunes or your preferred podcast platform. If you have a question for The Manual podcast crew, give us a shout at podcast@themanual.com. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter and keep an eye out for our regular podcast polls so you can join the discussion.

A new comedy series is coming to HBO from the mind behind ‘Ted Lasso’
The series will follow an author dealing with a complicated relationship with his daughter.
The cast of Ted Lasso

When it first premiered on Apple TV+, few people saw Ted Lasso becoming the phenomenon that it ultimately was. Now, Bill Lawrence, one of the show's creators, is bringing a new comedy series to HBO. Variety is reporting that the new series will star Steve Carrell and Phil Dunster, who played Jamie Tartt on Ted Lasso.

The show was first picked up back in May and has been ordered for ten half-hour episodes for its debut season. The series will be “set on a college campus, centering on an author’s complicated relationship with his daughter.” It's unclear what role Dunster will be playing in the show.

Zendaya and Anne Hathaway have joined Christopher Nolan’s next movie
The film doesn't have any firm plot details yet, but it's building an amazing cast.
Zendaya in Euphoria.

Few movies are watched more closely throughout their development cycle than a Christopher Nolan movie. We know that the movie is set to come out in July of 2026, and that it's being produced at Universal with Matt Damon attached to star. While we still don't have many details on what the movie will be about, we've now learned that Zendaya and Anne Hathaway will join Damon in the film's cast.

Hathaway and Nolan are reuniting after previously working together on The Dark Knight Rises and Interstellar, while Nolan and Zendaya have never collaborated before. When Hathaway was cast in Interstellar, she said that she was grateful he chose to cast her in spite of the backlash she was facing at the time.

7 must-watch shows like Only Murders in the Building
Smaller cable hits from the past will remind you of the Hulu show
The cast of The White Lotus.

Only Murders in the Building just finished its fourth season, and fans are already missing the antics of Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short. The Hulu mystery series has found a way to execute a unique concept to perfection, turning murder investigations into a campy, even cozy experience at times. The wit of Short and Martin certainly aids this ability, but the show's tone and writing have also evolved into something that takes a little bit from a variety of predecessors in TV history.

If you're looking for shows like Only Murders in the Building, we've got you covered. These series may not be able to incorporate or emulate every quality you're looking for, but they will scratch that dark comedic itch and engage you in investigative plotlines that aren't too violent or morbid.
