On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Peter Suderman, features editor at Reason Magazine, host of The Reason Roundtable podcast, and creator of the Cocktails with Suderman newsletter, for a wide-ranging conversation about culture, creativity, and connection.
Peter shares how his passion for craft cocktails grew from a curiosity into a deeper appreciation for hospitality, friendship, and the art of bringing people together. He explains why making drinks at home has exploded in popularity, whether Gen Z’s move away from alcohol signals a lasting cultural shift, and why social spaces still matter for creativity and innovation.
Karol and Peter also discuss remote work, the importance of in-person conversations, how the pandemic reshaped social habits, and why YouTube could become the dominant force shaping the future of entertainment, podcasts, and media. Plus, Peter reflects on his career at Reason, his marriage to fellow journalist Megan McArdle, and why his best life advice is simple: find your people.
