  • How to Become a Sommelier
    After hearing about a food and wine pairing event, I got curious about how one actually becomes a wine expert. Are there formal classes? Are there actual careers as a wine expert? Can you make money doing this? I wanted to know the whole process as well as what a sommelier looks for in a good wine. Cheers!

  • Catholic Nuns: the Process, Requirements, and Clothing of Religious Life

    Did you know there was a difference between a nun and a sister? They are often used interchangeable today but they do have a distinction. I had no idea! In this episode we go over the process, the requirements, and the day-to-day life of a nun. It takes 9-12 years to become a fully-fledged nun... definitely not something to rush into!
