Welcome to Earth! Independence Day Special Edition

The Tipsy Nerds take a break from books to chat about the Science Fiction film Independence Day, and welcome special guest Shannon Orso, Literary Agent and founder of Victresse Literary. The featured drink is a beautiful red, white and blue shooter we're calling "Welcome to Earth" in honor of Will Smith's great scene with an alien. Happy Independence Day people of Earth!
