We speak with MW Michael Henley about his journey to become an MW, his new online business and wine bar in downtown Hastings. The Y & D Podcast is the result of a meeting of the microphones for American ex-pat Daniel Brennan, a winemaker and experienced podcaster, and Yvonne Lorkin; a New Zealand wine writer and completely inexperienced podcaster. Dan is the owner of Decibel Wines and Yvonne is the co-founder of WineFriend, a personalised wine subscription service. They both live in Hastings and are proud Hawkesbayliens. They both have past lives in the music and hospitality industries and they share the same side-eye attitude to lots of things, things like wine, social media and the news; plus they love a good conflab. So having a stab at podcasting to thrash a few things out seemed like a snazzy idea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
