New book out, Flight by Julie Clark is a real page turner.  A scrumptious wine from Bodega Conde de Suyrot  (thank you Fabrice). Have you had your 5 O'clock wine yet? Yes.  It's a thing, best served punctually when the Yank is grumpy. Useless jobs, buzzwords- the Limey gets 'Hangry'... omg #covidiots, we think its Qanon spawn. https://www.buzzsprout.com/210926/podcast/website, https://wineandworldviews.com/2020/07/03/a-vineyard-in-paradise-conde-de-suryot/

Yank gets to be a wine geek in an interview with fellow sommelier Sylvia Ottmann of Bodega Ribas, the landmark winery of Mallorca. But first, what colour underwear are you? Does a shade called 'tobacco' drive you crazy? Does alabaster or almond make you feel bad? Or is it just that wokeism has gone mad? Can proper punctuation be offensive? A glass of rosé  that looks clouds at sunset always makes everything better. Postal voting in the US, pretty scandalous...Heartburn by Nora Ephron a classic bestseller.  http://bodegaribas.com/en/  [email protected]

Interview with Fabrice of the Bodega Conde de Suyrot, our favourite, locally produced wine.  Necessities of summer in Spain.

What is the lifespan of a robin?

Meltdown time here in Mallorca. The Yank is mentally stifled with the heat whereas The Limey is just too damn hot. Luckily we cooled down with a delicious Malvasía from Bodegas Vi Rei (and the equally gorgeous rosé - highly recommended). How to Eat a Peach by Diana Henry is a swoony elegant example of masterly food writing. The message? Eat seasonally, eat simply, eat local....Beware of endless doom scrolling... Maxwell, Epstein, Trump are all in the headlines - but where's Prince Andrew? 

Meet Carmen Molinar, our amazing guest, director and actor of our film A Little Less Conversation, Carmen talks about acting, directing, Mallorca Film Production, Evolution Film Festival.....THE TIPPING POINT set in Mallorca, by Emily Benet...The Yank wins the bravery award for taking a COVID test (ouch!)...The Trump's endorse a food brand - illegal or just unethical?  How's the mask working out for you? #amaskisnotabigdealgetoverit... and much more.....

Cap'n Bob, Ghislaine, Epstein scandal, fraud and sweaty palms. It has to be the ultimate unge news moment - get the popcorn out you won't want to miss this... Which charity do you give to? We talk to Emily Benet about her new book Tipping Point set here in Mallorca, we taste a white wine from France, Les Plantes Nobles, and we chat to Emily about all things writerly. 

Summer songs - what's your favourite? Bill Gates - we love him - do you? And, more importantly, would you drink water from one of his new techno-clever waste-not loos (or toilets, johns, crappers, thrones, restrooms... if you're a yank!) Taking the knee - what's the physical act mean to you? The Motion of Body Through Space by Lionel Shriver - terrible title, GREAT book. Morgadio a great Albarino wine. And our sponsor this week is MOYA... https://moya.es/es/
