The Tikinauts: Two Cherries In

Full transcript and show notes at <a href='https://theomnishow.omnigroup.com/episode/the-tikinauts-two-cherries-in/'>theomnishow.omnigroup.com</a> <p>Like any other workplace, Omni has a few subcultures — knitters, rock climbers, dog fanciers — but none of them involve quite as much rum, kitsch, and straight-up chillin’ as Tiki.</p> <p>Mark Boszko, Aaron Cherof, and Evan McNulty — roughly half of Omni Team Tiki — talk about their zest for fruity drinks and for the whole surrounding show. We talk about the décor from a lost world that never existed anyway. We talk about the fancy and sometimes secret ingredients. And the vibe. And the volcanos.</p> <p>You can find Mark’s Tiki bar on the web at <a href="http://kilauea.co/">Kilauea.co</a>, and on Twitter and Instagram <a href="https://twitter.com/kilaueacove">@KilaueaCove</a>.
