Natural Disasters

Very good and informative buy could benefit from a little more structure to the episodes.

I started off disliking this podcast viscerally. Two natural wine aficionados talk about anything other than wine for 45 minutes then end the episode with the opposite opinion from the one they started with. The more I listened, though, the more I began to understand and love it. There are many reasons—like the joy these two have for wine and for each other or the focus on what the natural wine movement means for community or accessibility to people who have not historically been allowed into the conversation. The biggest reason to listen to this podcast, though, is because it matches most closely what wine is: a dialogue. It is endlessly up-in-the-air. Its definition, golden calves, and trends are in constant flux. It is an object worthy of a lifetime of messy conversations, good-spirited tribalism, and humor. Adam and Marissa are at their best when they're being generous with one another, with a guest, or with an imagined listener (like in episode 26 when they walk you minute-by-minute through your first wine fair). Definitely worth the listen.

Very funny and very informative. From a new employee at a 100% natural wine bar and 70% female vintners, I thank you for helping me connect dots on different subjects in a intriguing, funny and non-boring way. Cheers!
