Celebrating the holiday season Tipsy Nerds style, TNBC welcomes author D.A. Xiaolin Spires to the show to sip eggnog and discuss her short story, Marshmallows, a story that first appeared in Clarkesworld magazine in December 2018. The story features a dystopian world that people can conveniently "unsee" via augmented reality. We created two cocktails for this episode, a sweet and delicious Marshmallow-tini and a smooth, not-too-sweet, eggnog with a hint of ginger.
