Welcome to the Sundowners Podcast. We’re so excited to launch our very first episode, and to get us started, we tackle the classiest of all beverages: the Martini. Although the origin of the martini isn’t known for sure, there are a few speculations, which we cover after a brief introduction to the podcast. For those who don’t know, a “sundowner” is an African safari tradition, in the most romantic sense, in which, at sundown, a picnic blanket is laid, drinks are poured, and company is shared. As we prepare to send Hailey off to Africa, we decided to launch this podcast as a project to keep us connected while she’s overseas – and what better way than to share a happy hour drink over a video chat? We’d likely already be doing this anyway, so we’ve decided to hit record and see where this podcast takes us.
