TASTE AWARDS

In early April Wine Road Podcast won the Taste Award for Best Podcast! Beth Costa and I went to Los Angeles for the award ceremony and it was memorable to say the least! When our name was called, I literally fell off my chair which was a tall bar stool and my feet did not touch the ground anyway-- so it was no exaggeration to say I was knocked off my feet!

Marcy Gordon and Beth Costa Executive Director of the Wine Road

PODCAST MOVEMENT

Then in July we were featured speakers in Philadelphia at the world’s largest podcast conference in the country--Podcast Movement. We gave a talk to a packed room and broadcast the show live from the show floor. It was a blast.

Live! From Philly.

Wine Road Podcast - Hilarity Ensues

There comes a time in everyones life when you must accept a challenge and step up to the plate or shy away from doing something out of your “wheelhouse” of experience and go drink wine in a corner.

Well, I’m merging the two! I’m doing something way outside my proverbial (technical) wheelhouse producing and co-hosting a podcast for the Wine Road. The best part? I still get to drink wine in a corner while I figure it all out.

Wooo Hooo, for steep learning curves!

Take a listen if you dare or sign up for the RRS and don’t miss second of the ad hoc hilarity that ensues.
