Vino & Convo w/Fletch & Couch Howard R. Fletcher

- Arte
Vino and Convo is a re-watch podcast with the mission to analyze media, sports, and politics while sharing a bottle of wine or craft beer from the many producers in our mid-Atlantic home.
To start, we are going to re-watch The HBO classic original series The Wire. Actually, in Fletch’s case it is a re-watch. Couch is experiencing the show for the very first time.
We are analyzing all 5 seasons, 60 episodes, and think it should give us plenty to chew on as we chop it up. And, the best part is that we will be doing this while enjoying wine or craft beer that has been created by our local artisans in the Washington DC metropolitan area – also known as the DMV.
