“Positives: depth of catalog. Will tackle subjects others haven’t.
Negative: this husband and wife team need marriage counseling. Host will annoyingly cut off her husband’s questions (which are we’ll times and appropriate) and shut him off. It would help to do more pre-recording practices so the questions are asked and not squashed.
Too long. Too much babbling and inside jokes that make no sense to anyone. Supposedly a podcast for “normal people who hate the snobbery associated with wine”. There’s still plenty of arrogance here folks. Especially ironic given sommelier Elizabeth loves to bash other somms and wine figures in authority but herself demands that entitlement on her show.
It’s almost impossible to listen to a full episode all the way through with the host being so annoying. The podcast can be done in 1/2 the time of the host didn’t spend SOO much requiring everyone to genuflect. Start each podcast at 8:00 mins and then skip 15 secs forward until the real material starts. And I didn’t mention the annoying heavy Long Island accent that comes through.
That said: I do appreciate the volume of work sommelier Elizabeth has put in. 1 star for her poor husband and wine loving normal guy M. C. Ice who has to endure in person what the rest of us can simply do and hit the “end” button on the podcast and a relationship.”
