Fire and Wine Podcast
Fire & Wine Podcast consists of two hosts, Sam and Barb, who have been best friends for over 20 years. They cover everything fantasy based to real world history, who give their own spin on facts and retelling of history in a hilarious (and drunken) manner. Game of Thrones was the main source of inspiration for this podcast, and it will continue to be as your hosts discuss other fantasy or historical based entertainment (including the potential spin-offs from Game of Thrones), as well as call-backs to some of their favorite films and TV shows. If listening to two best friends progressively getting drunk and making fun of history and TV shows is your thing, then give us a listen, become a supporter, and follow us on social media to stay up-to-date on all the latest episodes.
