Spill the Wine

On this episode of Spill the Wine, Alex and Ruby discuss one of the most talked about people (and pop icon), Britney Spears.
Ruby recaps the Queen of Pop's life as they discuss favourite albums, songs, and most of all her conservatorship. 

On this episode of Spill the Wine, we welcome Rachel to the hot-seat. Having been friends for years, Alex hasn't ever read tarot cards for Rachel, and what better time to do that then on the podcast! 
Option to make a drinking game out of this episode- Drink every time Rachel says "I'm afraid".

It's Episode TEN!

In this episode of Spill the Wine, we take a look at the "either or" sides we would take on important issues: like BSB or N*Sync, red or white wine, vampires or witches, and so much more.
We hope you enjoy our first virtual episode!

On this episode of Spill the Wine we are talking about magic in the media.
This episode focuses on (mostly) our favourite shows, movies, and books that feature magical characters. Be prepared for our 90s trip down memory lane as we discuss Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Charmed, and Hocus Pocus. Don't worry, we also share our love for more contemporary witches too.
Also, fair warning to any die-hard Harry Potter fans out there: Ru has some strong feelings she shares in the second half of the episode. Some of which even shock me!

In this week's episode of Spill the Wine, we discuss our growth through (and from) Christianity to Wicca.

On this episode of Spill the Wine we dedicate yet another episode to the people who helped us become better people: teachers.

As a teacher, Alex has experienced hilarious, devastating, and heartwarming moments in her classroom that she has chosen to share in our seventh episode. In fact, there were so many that some didn't make the final cut!

As well, we share some of the stories submitted by you, our listeners! So grab your favourite beverage, get cozy, and come laugh, cry, and rage with us.

In this episode of, Spill the Wine, we decided that, in honour of back to school, we would talk about our favourite (and not so favourite) teachers. From grade school, well into university, we both have had teachers to whom we give mad props for building us up, and helping to make us the women we are today. 

And then there are all the rest: the ones who we felt undervalued us as learners, or who were just plain awful.

Enjoy our trip down memory lane and come relive past grudges with us. 

On this episode of Spill the Wine, we’re talking about our monthly encounter with periods. We candidly talk about our own experiences and even get into the science behind why our uteruses try to kill us once a month.

It’s going to be a “bloody” good time. Get it?

Happy Belated Birthday, Demi!

On this episode of, Spill the Wine, we are sharing our love for Demi Lovato. Or, more accurately, Alex gushes about her crush and all things Demi.

Follow us as we discuss movies, television, music, and more!

DISCLAIMER: We did want to say that during the episode we tried our best to correct ourselves and use Demi's preferred "they/them" pronouns, but on occasion we did slip up. This was not done maliciously, it was purely accidental and we apologize.

In this episode of Spill the Wine, we talk about our own little love story- here's the story of us! It's not original, because we'll be the first ones to admit that we're as basic as they come, but we're about as real as we can get in this episode. Enjoy us as our most authentic, loud, and funny selves.
