A True Gem in a Sea of Podcast Mediocrity
19 de fev.
I've only just discovered this podcast. So glad I did. The host is intelligent and respectful of the subject matter. He provides details that you've most likely never heard before. And most importantly, he always selects unique or interesting events. Definitely give this one a listen.
Why all the plugs to other episodes??

Is the format of the show just one guy telling a story and the other guy saying “you know one time we had a guest who… “[insert very slightly related plug for their company here] over and over and over?? It’s quite annoying.

The character voices are jarring and unnecessary. Stop it.
The Widow
19 de fev.
Tim, Tim, Tim — I’m a subscriber and fan but this epp — so topical, so under achieved on behalf of the great Widow Clicquot. There is so much more to the story. She had amazing employees, partners etc, and there were other women in the champagne business but she created an environment for more. Not only that, not going into the freedoms widows had in this period?! This incredible woman deserved a longer better researched episode. The fact that you two men were talking about her at all gives you four stars.
