Summary

This is a quick special announcement show with two news items:

1. After many years of being on the show, MC Ice has left the building!

This was not his main business and he has chosen to focus on his work and other pursuits! We thank him for his contributions. Going forward, educational shows will be with Elizabeth only, with occasional guest appearances from Patrons to mix things up!

2. Probably more important is the answer to the question many of you have been asking: Where do I get the old episodes of the podcast?

Many of you have noticed that the back catalog of the podcast is no longer available on public podcast feed. It’s not gone but the access is restricted. You can still access the past 13 years ofepisodes by joining Patreon. As soon as you sign up, you will receive instructions on how to access the back episodes. It’s a very simple process and you can sign up at patreon.com/winefornormalpeople

The decision to do this was based on the fact that the podcast takes 20 hours or more a week to produce. Although content seems free because it just pops up in your player, there is a big cost to produce it. Research, writing, editing, scheduling guests, etc. – all of which I do myself – takes a lot of time and effort. Those who provide financial support to the show through Patreon, the most committed listeners, have kept the podcast going since 2018 and now they will have exclusive rights to the previous shows. I would love for you to join that group, or you can access the current year’s shows, which are made free by my parternship with Wine Access, whom I hope you will support at wineaccess.com/normal

Thanks for understanding and I'll see you on the next show!!

Get the back catalog on Patreon!

0:00.0	Hey Wine for Normal People Community. I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to do a
0:05.6	call out just a short little announcement here to make sure that I had your
0:10.6	attention so that you are aware of two major changes that have happened with the show.
0:16.3	The first one is that after a long time of being on the show, MC Ice is no longer going to be my co-host.
0:23.8	So the way it's going to work is that for the straight up educational
0:27.9	podcast that he would have done with me normally.
0:30.4	I will be doing them by myself.
0:32.0	I hope that that is exciting for you. I teach classes and
0:36.2	a lot of the show is me by myself anyway with just MCI's interjecting some funny stuff here and there.
0:42.1	So hopefully you will love the new
0:45.0	format it's a little bit of a change but just to mix it up a little bit I'll be
0:49.5	having occasional co-host there are a bunch of patrons who are interested in topics and they'll be
0:54.1	joining me so that it's not just me all the time and that's going to be exciting and
0:59.6	super fun. I hope that that is a positive change for some of you. I know you'll miss
1:03.9	MCIs but I think that we will wind up having a great show regardless just a
1:08.6	little bit of a change. The second change I think is a little bigger. Many of you have noticed that the back catalog of the podcast is no longer available
1:16.6	on the public podcast feeds.
1:19.0	It's not gone, but the access is now restricted. You can still access the last 13 years of episodes by joining
1:28.4	Patreon. So as soon as you sign up, you'll receive instructions on how to access the back episodes. It's a very simple
1:34.7	process. You can sign up at patreon.com slash wine for normal people. Now you know
1:41.9	I'm fully transparent about these things so the
1:44.4	decision to do this was based on the fact that the podcast takes more than 20 hours
