S2E14 Wine: Helen McGinn on Food, Drink and Writing

There are two types of people in this world: people you want to drink with and people who make you want to drink. Helen McGinn is actually both of those people! She began sharing her knowledge about wine through the now award-winning blog ‘The Knackered Mother's Wine Club, which has since been turned into a book. Helen appears regularly on the BBC, ITV and the Daily Mail, and has recently released the fiction novel ‘This Changes Everything’. In this episode we learn to appreciate the storytelling power of food and drink, we delve into the sometimes uncomfortable editing process, and we explain why you need to focus on the career aspect of writing if you want to find success. Even if you’ve never been interested in the smoky or oakey flavours of wine before, you’ll be hosting your own tasting session after this!
