Introducing "Damp January" from Live Wire

Luke Burbank, host of the public radio variety show Live Wire, knows his way around a drink. At times, he's gotten too familiar with the stuff, which is why he's now trying to fix his relationship with alcohol. In this new limited series, Luke talks to friends, family, and cultural luminaries living at various points on the booze spectrum — from enthusiastic imbibers to teetotalers and everyone in-between. After a booze-heavy pandemic and increased attention to alcohol's health risks, many have reconsidered their habits. But is mindful consumption actually achievable? Even for people named Luke? Damp January explores these questions with humor, honesty, and (occasionally) a little liquid courage. It’s every Wednesday in… you guessed it, January.

I love everything about this show. It’s perfect company when I’m in the kitchen cooking or commuting to work. The Best News is a really unique (refrettably) portion and always makes my day brighter. Thanks Luke, Elena, and team for such a beautiful show.
Great discussions and variety of guests

Live Wire has an incredible spectrum of guests, topics, discussions and musical guests that provides a palate cleanser after drudging through the usual news and politics of the day.
Overdoing the rebroadcast some

Love the show. You’ll hear most episodes often enough to memorize them.

Livewire is the perfect reprieve from the 24/7 political podcasts that formerly consumed my days. I was drained and desperately needed laughter, positive thought, and re-ignited enthusiasm when I found Livewire. I cannot recommend this vacation for the soul enough!
