Summary

It’s Saturday morning. You wake up, bleary eyed and unsure as to whether you’re still in a dream or not. You slightly overdid it in the mystical realm last night, thinking you had a bit more magic left in you than you actually did. You seek solace in the living room, hangover cure of choice in hand. What you need right now is a comforting voice, someone who is going to tell you that everything is going to be okay. And as you turn to the television for salvation you realise that your prayers are answered, because looking back at you is this week’s guest at The Moon Under Water telling you two things: that everything is going to be okay, and that Sangiovese goes great with steak. It’s award winning wine expert, television presenter and musician Olly Smith!

Olly is known to many as the wine expert from Saturday Kitchen, but he’s also known as one of the friendliest people on Earth. His positivity is contagious, and he somehow manages to lift everyone around him onto his level of happiness. He’s also a musician, and in 2020 released his debut single ‘Snow On The Borderline’… Has anyone brought a guitar?

1:39.3	How am I? No, it's been a rough week. But welcome to the moon underwater, the mystical, magical pub of the mind. And folks, I need to start by saying that like all magical pubs of the mind
1:46.5	that reveal themselves to you when you ache for them please do not order food from the
1:52.5	QR code during the show that sort of you've ever been to a mystical pub of the mind before

2:11.1	only feel a sort of sense of loneliness in the moon underwater tonight maybe it's just

2:33.3	I think we need to let him in because he's outside sort of chasing many feathered geese in a metaphorical sense you understand, not actual geese,
