Writers Simon Racioppa and Tanis Rideout & Canadian Wines
In this episode, the guys take a thematic trip north of the border to encounter two true rarities: Canadian wine and one of that country’s most prolific married writing couples: New York Times best-selling author Tanis Rideout (Above All Things) and Simon Racioppa, showrunner for the upcoming Amazon series Invincible based on the comic books of The Walking Dead co-creator Robert Kirkman. While sampling three unique wine offerings from Prince Edward Country, Ontario, Rideout talks about how she went from working retail at an outdoor store to writing her award-winning novel based on George Mallory's failed 1924 attempt to be the first person to climb Mount Everest. Meanwhile, Racioppa discusses how he approaches adapting well-known literary material—from beloved comic books to writing for The Dark Crystal prequel series from Netflix.
