Slow Living radio Launches in July

Broadcast and video streamed live nationally each week through the CRN Digital Radio Network from the studio at V Wine Cellar in the historic V Marketplace is a one-hour radio program that challenges and inspires us to take time to embrace the good things in life – to slow down, breathe out and reclaim the lives we’ve lost to the frenetic pace of our modern culture. Presented through a broad spectrum of wine, food, entertainment and travel feature stories, celebrity and expert guest interviews, lifestyle philosophies and strategies, Slow Living radio brings us back to the basics of enjoying each day as an experience, living in the moment, and indulging in the rewards of a better life deserved.

The Slow Living radio studio location, V Wine Cellar, is a quintessential hub of healthy hedonism. A fusion of tasting bar, cellar and soft seating wine lounge where hip lifestyle and comfort intersect with a warm and accessible wine experience, the cellar also features more than 4,000 bottlings from around the world to tempt the palate of the wine novice and aficionado alike.

Every Slow Living radio program seamlessly integrates two main elements within the show’s format. The first element, SlowLife, showcases an enlightening array of lifestyle topics geared toward savoring life’s pleasures and experiences at that slower, more enjoyable pace—from chef and restaurant features, niche farm-to-table producers, innovative purveyors and cool special events, to spa secrets (from resident experts at Spa Villagio), health & fitness, home design, entertainment and exceptional travel escapes. The second, WineRoads, highlights the slow pleasures of the wine world, running the gamut from the hottest new wine stars, sommelier tips for pairing wines and celebrity winemaker interviews, to enhancing your wine appreciation skills and strategies for building your home cellar collection. In an entertaining combination, Slow Living radio brings it all together each week, telling the stories behind the stories to craft a complete armchair travel experience for listeners.

Hosted by travel industry veteran Steve Andrews, European-trained sommelier Scott Lewis, proprietor of the V Wine Cellar, and international award-winning Australian chef/author Sally James, Slow Living radio explores our world from its back streets to its main thoroughfare to discover the very best that a slower, more relaxed lifestyle has to offer. While the subject matter remains focused, a dose of jovial barbs, anecdotes and occasional limericks traded by the three hosts keeps a fun and lively tenor to the show. So what do this American, Australian and Irishman have in common? A taste for humor, a gift for the gab... and a sincere shared passion for the great life!

Slow Living radio airs live every ­­­Thursday from 6pm to 7pm PT with taped replays each week. We invite you to turn up, tune in... and slow down.
