Ep 127 The Jim Murray Vulgarity. A Conversation on Sexism in Whiskey
Episode 127, Sep 25, 2020, 08:00 AM
As we come to an end in our first ever Pappy Hunt, we reflect on the last few weeks and after the most recent news of the Bars in Texas STILL on lockdown, we wonder if there is light at the end of this tunnel. This past week a firestorm broke out over Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible. His reviews are under fire with accusations of sexism and lewd vocabulary.
Many on social media defending his as not being sexist but just cringe worthy.
Either way this issue hint at a deeper issue within the industry and today we are joined by three women to discuss sexism and misogyny within the whiskey world and how to move forward.
What are some of the ways the industry can show and attract a larger female audience without pandering to stereotypes.
Blair and Janet from the Whiskey Women Podcast and Dusti Rhodes joins me for a chat on the subject over a few drinks.
A good time was had by all.
