Episode Introduction

Hey there, listeners! Marco Ciappelli here, welcoming you to another episode of Audio Signals. We're on a mission to explore the vast universe of narratives, focusing on the storytellers themselves. Storytelling, as you know, isn't just about tales; it's a bridge that connects generations, cultures, and souls. As our world becomes increasingly digital, the power of a well-told story is immeasurable. It's the lifeline of our shared experiences and collective consciousness.

Today, we're diving into the captivating world of food, wine, and the intricate tales they tell with our guest, William Echikson. William's illustrious career in journalism and communications has seen him contribute to prestigious outlets like The New Yorker and Wall Street Journal. His tenure at Google, where he oversaw vast regional communications and initiated Google's op-ed program, further solidifies his understanding of narratives in a modern context.

Our conversation promises a wealth of insights:

• We'll explore the profound ways in which food mirrors societal shifts. How does the pace of life in France, both fast and slow, resonate in its culinary choices? How have historical events like the rise of Protestant Europe and the affluence of Spain influenced our dining tables?
• Bordeaux's wine world is not just about the grape. It's a reflection of French-American dynamics, diplomacy, and the intricate nuances of international relations.

Bill's experiences and travels offer a unique perspective on this gastronomic journey. From understanding how food choices reflect our histories and geopolitics to the tales hidden in a bottle of wine, we'll traverse a world where every bite and sip holds a story. The bustling markets, the serene vineyards, age-old recipes passed down generations, and the innovative culinary fusions of today - each has a tale to tell, reflecting our collective identities, politics, economies, and more.

If you're intrigued by the crossroads of food, history, and narratives, today's episode is a feast you won't want to miss.

Have you always wanted to know more about Bordeaux wines and maybe even drink more from this region but thought it was beyond your reach? 

I think Bordeaux gets a bad rap sometimes. People often think it’s too fancy, too complicated….and perhaps most often, too expensive.  But Bordeaux doesn’t have to be any of these things…especially expensive.  Did you know that most Bordeaux wines are actually quite affordable?

In this episode, I get into a little bit about Bordeaux as a region, what styles of wine are available and what bargains can be had.  Listening to this episode will hopefully convince you to dive into this fascinating region if you haven’t already!

Happy listening. Cheers!
