On our first Hot Pizza Ass road trip Erin and Zach Harper (NBA Radio, Count the Dings) went to visit Eric Jensen, critically acclaimed winemaker at Booker in Paso Robles and host of Poppin’ Corks podcast. We share a bottle of Krug as Eric tells us his story of how he left a career producing music festivals behind, to enter the wine industry - an industry that requires patience, and a very different skill set as a farmer. This is an episode about growth, changing the aristocratic culture of the wine industry, and the importance of building community. Eric's built a strong one and he's actively giving back to address systemic issues at the root, and change the accessibility and exclusive culture of the wine industry. It’s an inspiring conversation that I know you’ll enjoy. 

 

TOPICS INCLUDE:

• Breaking barriers
• Stories of wine gone bad
• Accepting failure, and using it to your advantage
• Why the price tag doesn’t really matter when it comes to drinking wine
• The systemic issues within the wine industry
• Embracing change
• Why putting employees first is important for leadership

You're Khloe Kardashian, you've been body shamed, bullied, and compared to your sisters for years. An unedited photo of you is accidentally posted to the Internet. What do you do about it?

This is an episode about the insidious effects of shame. And how body shaming and toxic beauty standards can only be resolved if we confront our shame, and don't let an unedited photo spark a legal reaction in an attempt to purge the entire Internet of a normal photo. Instead of a cease and desist of an unedited photo, how about a #ceaseanddesistonshame?

Journalist, filmmaker, and conspiracy debunker David Farrier joins the podcast for a fun conversation about why influencer culture should be burned to the ground, why conspiracy culture is damaging, and of course, we take a look back at his fascinating documentary "Tickled."

• Deplatforming
• The origin of QAnon
• ConspiracySeriously on TikTok
• Dealing with negativity online
