  • Hey, it works!

    I'm a longtime fan. That said, very curious pivot to create a "new" concept based on what was easily the worst part of The Grape Nation - the questions where Sam constantly interrupts and talks over the guests. This has always been a podcast that relies on the strength of the guests rather than the host. I'm glad it exists though, and will continue to listen.

  • Learn to listen to your guests

    Clearly the interviewer is a New Yorker but he needs to learn to take a breath and stop talking over his guests. Makes for very difficult listening

  • Great stuff, just STOP interrupting and STOP asking people to spell!

    Host cannot stop interrupting his guests, this takes them off their flow and we miss great content due to his disruptions… Also, super awkward when he asks people to spell…other than this it’s a great podcasts, very insightful stuff. Well done!

  • Kelli White

    Was catching up on missed shows and listened to Kelli White. Amazing show- fun and informative. Got really excited for Kelli’s book Wine Confident. Immediately bought it as a Valentine Day gift for my wife who loves wine but uncomfortable selecting wines for dinner and at restaurants- tends to stay in Sauv Blanc and Chard. Excited to share the podcast with friends and family!

  • Host Constantly Interrupts

    This host constantly interrupts guests. It’s almost un-listenable. I rarely review podcasts, but this one has such great guests, that I hope the host can improve.
