Episode 341: Popping Bottles with Ariel Arce & The Long Distance with Beshken Feb 12, 2018

Show notes

We pop open a bottle for this all NYC episode. Up first, sommelier and restaurateur Ariel Arce epitomizes the notion of turning passion into action, and sharing that passion with the world. Her love of pouring wine--especially Champagne--and collecting vinyl has led her to open two fun and popular jewel box spots, Air's Champagne Parlor and Tokyo Record Bar. Inspiring Ariel at young age were her merrymaking parents and their dinner parties. We learn more about those soirees from Ariel's dad who joins us as well. Twenty-one-year-old Beshken began his musical life in his native Los Angeles as a jazz guitarist. DJ gigs brought him into the world of dance music, and now living in Brooklyn he's honed a distinct electronic sound infused with jazz and indie rock. Beshken's latest EP is Time Is The Longest Distance Between Two People, and he stops by for a live in-studio performance.

Show notes

It's 2018, and we're starting the year in Los Angeles by meeting up with Ellen Bennett of the wildly popular apron and kitchen line, Hedley & Bennett. Ellen shares with us her journey from working as a line cook to developing one of the most recognized and beloved culinary brands in the world. For “Snacky Tunes 5’s," our good pal Jameson Fink eschews the typical fitness goals people usually make this time of year, and instead focuses his resolutions on the topic he loves best: wine! If the sounds of New York rockers, NO ICE, are new to you, it's certainly not due to the band's lack of effort. Deemed one of the “Hardest Working Bands” of 2016 and 2017 by the site, Oh My Rockness, NO ICE has performed with the likes of Richard Lloyd of Television and Ian Saint Pé of the Black Lips over the years. The band stops in for a live acoustic performance of songs from their latest album, "Come on Feel the NO ICE."
