Wine Journalism the Stacy Briscoe way!
The TallMikeWine Podcast
11/04/21 • 45 min
Stacy Brsiscoe didn't set out to be a wine journalist when she got out of college with a degree in American Literature, but as often happens, wine found her! She tells Mike about slowly building a wine writing career on multiple platforms; the first time she really "got it" when drinking wine - there were lots of people around; about how she takes the sometimes "dry" business side of the wine world and makes it interesting (it's all about finding the people!); and what to avoid when taking a wine-drinking selfie. The two also sip and chat about a couple of deliciuos wines, discuss Stacy's former life as a personal trainer and her early years studying with the Jesuits! How can you not want to listen?

Getting Caught Up with Aditi Roy! (after 20 years)
The TallMikeWine Podcast
02/22/22 • 44 min
Back in the early 2000's Mike was living in Spokane Washington, just out of radio and into restaurant/wine work. Aditi Roy was there too, a TV News reporter who later would work for ABC News and CNBC. They knew some of the same people and hung out once in a while. A lot of years have passed but NOW they both live in the Bay Area, and they've recently both started hosting podcasts! Of course it was time to finally hang out together. From Aditi's home in San Jose, it's Episode 26 - where Aditi talks about the TV journalists she looked up to when she was younger and what it was like to meet and work with some of them. Hear about Full Stack Food, a new podcast, covering the merging worlds of food and tech. Mike and Aditi also taste a couple of delicious wines out of some unique new-shaped wine glasses, laugh a whole lot, and discuss putting together a Cabaret act.
