The best thing about being the Martini Whisperer are the people you meet. Something about that cocktail really opens doors!

US Modernist Radio is fun and informative podcast that features a who’s who of artists, architects, designers, musicians lovers of all things Modernist architecture, and yours truely!

As you will recall, I enjoyed a swell time in February earlier this in the natural habitat of the Martini: Palm Springs California!

I’m one of the few Australian guests to be invited on the show, it’s 367th episode in fact, and this is my second appearance, recorded when I was there to host several masterclasses.

So I invite you to listen the episode that features some fabulous other guests, including the legendary doyen of all things Mid-Century, Charles Phoenix. If you’re short on time, my segment starts about minute 47 into the show here on YouTube plus wherever you get your podcasts.

Also: Spirits and Makers Update

• Don’t forget to swing past the Article Index on the website for links to the updated lists of Australian makers of Vermouth, Gin, Vodka, Rum, Whisky and more, which I’ve maintained for well over a decade now and more to come!

Plus: Series Update

• Things are progressing well with the shooting of my aforementioned series about craft distilling and cocktail culture in Australia. The planets are finally aligning and I’ve appointed a director of photographer, he’s met with my US producer, and we’ve a location and dates locked in to shoot the pilot in mid October!! That will be then used to sell the show later this year – wish me luck!
