🍷 A Seat at the Podcast Tank? Count Me In.
In his recent article, We Need a Shark Tank Show for Independent Podcasters, podcast advocate and storyteller Frank Racioppi pitched an idea that deserves real attention: a Shark Tank-style platform where indie podcasters pitch their shows to a panel of experienced creators, investors, and audio insiders.
I was thrilled (and flattered) to see my name included as a potential panelist. Frank’s been a big proponent of this concept—and of indie podcasters like myself who blend insight, heart, and a little humor.
As the host of The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast, I’ve built a fast-paced, globally ranked show by mixing storytelling with personality (and the occasional grumpy winemaker character named Sour Grapes). If I were on this panel, I’d bring sharp feedback, real-world strategy, and the kind of levity that reminds us why we started podcasting in the first place.
Frank—thanks for the vision. Let’s make this show happen.
