Program 767A: The Beast of Revelation 13, Satan's Seat in Rome, and a Warning to Two Underage Girls

World pastor Tony Alamo devotes program 767A of his teaching series to the thirteenth chapter of Revelation, tracing the beast's seven heads and ten horns to what he calls Satan's seat in Rome, and defending his refusal to let two underage members of his congregation marry.

Program 767A Opens With a Call to Prayer
Help From Christ Ministries introduces the broadcast as an archived message from Tony Alamo, inviting listeners to write in before turning the program over to him. Alamo greets the audience as world pastor, identifies the broadcast as program number 767, and tells listeners Sharon will explain at the close how to request a free CD or audio tape, postage included. He turns to the thirteenth chapter of Revelation, insisting the book is no different from the rest of scripture and that the Word of God never contradicts itself. Before teaching, he leads the studio in prayer, asking the Father to anoint him with the Holy Spirit's understanding, wisdom, knowledge, and fear of the Lord so the congregation can follow along. He warns that anyone who rejects the instruction to obey those who have rule over them cannot be trusted to believe the rest of the Bible, calling such people filthy sick, and asks the Lord to give Satan no place in the broadcast. The congregation answers with an audible amen.

A Song and the Beast Rising From the Sea
Alamo performs a recording of 'No Man Is an Island' with what he introduces as the Prague Symphony Orchestra and the Light Choir. Returning to the microphone, he teaches that faith means obeying the instruction to submit to those given rule, complaining that some around him fail to relay his messages and calling them worthless. He begins reading Revelation chapter thirteen, describing the Apostle John standing on the sand of the sea and seeing a beast rise from it with seven heads, ten horns, and ten crowns, its heads marked with names of blasphemy. Alamo teaches that the ten crowns represent pride, the greatest sin, and that true blasphemy is thinking oneself smarter than God. He cites King Saul, the Bible's first king, losing the Spirit after a single act of disobedience, and warns that people who ignore correction, congregation members included, are full of the same blasphemous pride.

Two Young Girls and a Warning to the Government
Alamo tells of two young women who recently left the church, explaining that one had a sister, not part of the congregation, whose sexual relationships outside marriage had resulted in a pregnancy; the two girls left, he says, wanting to confront the sister over her conduct. He recounts that the sister then arrived near the church and took the two underage girls with her, and that both wanted to marry, which he says would have been lawful under the Bible once they had reached puberty but which he refused to allow because of their age under civil law. He tells them that if they want to marry they must leave the church and marry a godly person outside it, saying he will not risk giving what he calls the anti-Christ beast government, already eager to prosecute him as it did another man he references only in passing, any further opportunity. He adds that many young people become pregnant outside marriage and turn to abortion, which he calls legalized murder.

The Beast as Leopard, Bear, and Lion
Returning to Revelation thirteen, Alamo reads verse two, describing the beast as having the likeness of a leopard, the feet of a bear, and the mouth of a lion, teaching that each animal represents a different world power blended into one worldwide, satanic system operating as what people mistake for democracy. He teaches that the dragon, the devil, gave the beast its power and its seat, which he places in Rome, Italy, the city the Bible calls the city of seven hills, along with great authority reaching every country on earth. He includes what he calls the last stage of taking Muslim nations, whose people, he says, believe in Allah rather than the Bible and wish to kill white people as agents of the devil, a claim he rejects by insisting Jesus himself was Caucasian and that salvation is for every tongue and nation. He calls the Pope Satan incarnate for claiming the title of God, saying he prefers hearing people specify 'praise you, Father God' rather than the ambiguous 'praise God.'

A Wounded Head, Grave Accusations, and Rome Revived
Alamo moves to verse three, reading that one of the beast's heads was wounded to death, an image he identifies as the historical fall of Rome. He accuses what he calls this cult of murder, adultery, fornication, same-sex marriage, and pedophilia involving preteen children, calling these doctrines of devils that invert God's commandments by making evil legal and good forbidden, and insists that those born again of the Spirit stand in complete opposition to this system. He then reads that the deadly wound was healed and the whole world wondered after the beast, teaching that the devil staged an apparent miracle by rebuilding Rome's wealth and armed forces after its historical collapse. He says the dragon has since restored power to political leaders around the world who now control what he calls the political spectrum, fulfilling, in his reading, the prophecy that the nations would marvel at the beast's revival.

A Conversion Testimony and a Closing Prayer
Noting he is out of time and will continue the chapter in the next message, Alamo turns to his own conversion, recalling that he was deceived about God until an encounter in an office in Beverly Hills while working on a promotion for a singer convinced him that God is real and all-powerful. He tells listeners they are living in the very last moments of time and leads them in a spoken sinner's prayer confessing belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, died on the cross, and rose again, asking forgiveness and inviting Jesus into the heart. He asks listeners to raise their hands in praise for their salvation, then turns the broadcast over to Sharon, who reads out the ministry's website, email address, Hollywood, California post office box, and phone number for requesting a free copy of the program. Alamo signs off as world pastor, promising a continuation of the Book of Revelation teaching the next day, and the Help From Christ Ministries announcer closes with contact information for the broadcast.

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland

Fourteen Years of Sasquatch Contact, Telepathic Gifting Rituals, and Ancient Anunnaki Warnings with Mike Paterson

Broadcasting as a cyclone approaches his Hawaii farm, James Gilliland welcomes Sasquatch Ontario's Mike Paterson to share fourteen years of documented contact with one Sasquatch family, including telepathic gifting rituals, apported marbles, and a rare close-up photograph of a being named Neph.

Introducing Sasquatch Ontario's Mike Paterson
James Gilliland opens the broadcast noting how often listeners request more Bigfoot coverage, but he explains his hesitance, saying encounters with these beings become deeply personal and he does not want them disturbed or exploited for fame. He introduces Mike Paterson of Sasquatch Ontario, saying he has followed Paterson's recordings and interactions and recognizes the same deep respect and lack of ego that Gilliland believes is essential to real contact. He contrasts this with typical television Bigfoot programs, describing crews with expensive gear, night-vision cameras, and loud searches that come up empty because, he says, the beings choose who sees them rather than the reverse. Paterson agrees, saying he grew tired of formulaic television shows built for ratings rather than truth, and that understanding Sasquatch requires engaging their metaphysical, telepathic nature rather than treating them as ordinary wildlife to be tracked and filmed.

Fourteen Years With One Sasquatch Family
Paterson describes documenting encounters with a single Sasquatch family on one property owner's land since 2012, an ongoing relationship of hundreds of interactions both indoors and outdoors. He explains the family communicates telepathically and shows advanced understanding of consciousness, and that he built trust over years despite early mistakes he later corrected. He names Neph as the family's elder ambassador and Ninyan as a rambunctious teenage member, saying the beings have shown him written communication indoors, confirming they consider themselves among the first peoples and that they have different races, calling their own people Mushtaba. Paterson says he records audio every visit, later discovering vocalizations timed precisely to human movements he never noticed in the moment. Even after fourteen years, he says, the family's full size and membership remain unknown, and he still awaits a clear, close visual sighting despite abundant vocal, written, and physical evidence of their ongoing presence.

Gilliland's Own Encounters At ECETI
Gilliland shares his own decades of Sasquatch activity at the ECETI Ranch in Washington, describing a juvenile named Doloki who shakes visitors' cars and leaves footprints, including one witnessed by a radio host he believes was Clyde Lewis during a morning coffee visit. He recounts watching a Sasquatch phase through tangled orchard branches without disturbing a single limb, and seeing one turn into a light sphere before reappearing. He describes walking within fifty feet of a distraught mother separated from her daughter, who told him "thanks, but no thanks" before moving on, an encounter later confirmed in uncanny detail by remote viewer Tom Dongo, who had received no information beforehand. Gilliland also recalls twin brothers so overwhelmed by an emotional exchange with a visiting Sasquatch that they could not speak about it for weeks, and Native American elders who leave and receive gifts during ranch visits, reinforcing his belief that mutual respect governs every genuine interaction.

Beer, Tobacco, and Spelling Names With Beans
Paterson describes years of gifting rituals that evolved through trial and error, starting when beer bottles began disappearing from the property owner's kitchen, prompting him to start leaving beer directly for Neph, who eventually indicated a preference for a particular brand. Cigarettes followed after he asked aloud whether the family smoked and a marble dropped onto the table beside him, and he later learned Ninyan enjoys magic mushrooms and dark chocolate. Fresh vegetables from his garden became part of the routine too, including one occasion when a single green bean disappeared and he later found the remaining beans arranged to spell "Mike," followed by "Neph" and "Nin" on subsequent visits. He describes hundreds of witnessed marble apports over the years, along with a premium bottle of beer vanishing the instant the property owner glimpsed a translucent, roughly eight-foot Neph beside the counter, evidence he says shows the family's ability to move objects between dimensions instantly and without disturbance.

A Clear Photo of Neph and the Backlash
Paterson recounts photographing Neph's face in December 2019 after the property owner heard a giggle outside and captured two clear images of the being leaning on a fence, grinning. He says he asked the family's permission before sharing the pictures, was initially told "not yet," and waited three and a half years before receiving the go-ahead. Once posted, he says, doubters eventually commissioned a physical mask built from an AI-generated model in an attempt to discredit the photographs, though he found the fabricated mask nothing like the original images. Both Paterson and Gilliland describe intense jealousy and competition inside the UFO and Bigfoot communities, arguing that people who cannot achieve real contact themselves often attack those who can, despite presenting themselves as spiritually enlightened. Gilliland calls much of the field a controlled narrative full of "posers and shills," while Paterson says his consistency and refusal to fabricate details have made it impossible for critics to catch him in a lie.

Weaponized Weather, Ancient Texts, and Closing Advice
The conversation turns to Gilliland's belief that ancient Anunnaki tablets describe seven weapons capable of producing earthquakes, floods, and plagues, which he compares directly to modern weather manipulation and depopulation efforts that Paterson says the Sasquatch family has independently confirmed through written answers, including a drawing labeling vaccine injections as harmful. Gilliland describes unexplained protection shielding both the ECETI ranch and his cyclone-threatened coffee farm on Hawaii's Big Island, where falling trees repeatedly miss structures. Paterson recounts being physically touched, hugged, and having his foot grabbed during visits, framing these as playful, trusting gestures from a family he has followed since 2008. Both agree the beings are quietly revealing themselves on their own terms rather than being "discovered." Paterson closes by directing listeners to his Sasquatch Ontario channel and urging genuine, spoken intention in the woods, while Gilliland thanks him, promises to air his recordings, and signs off wishing listeners an open mind and loving heart.

Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp

New Details on the 1947 Roswell Crash, Alien Bodies, and the Cover-Up with Tom Carey

Mary Jane Popp welcomes veteran Roswell investigator Tom Carey back to the show to revisit the 1947 New Mexico crash, the alien bodies he says were recovered afterward, and decades of government secrecy that followed.

A Familiar Guest Returns to Roswell
Mary Jane Popp opens the show promising an incredible hour with a returning guest whose research on Roswell keeps turning up new evidence. She introduces Tom Carey, an Air Force veteran who once held a top-secret crypto clearance and has spent decades investigating the 1947 New Mexico crash, describing his books Witness to Roswell, The Children of Roswell, and Touched by Roswell, plus his work on Area 51 and his appearances with Oprah, 48 Hours, and Coast to Coast with George Noory. Carey explains he became involved in 1991, made his first trip to Roswell in 1993 thinking he had seen everything there was to see, and is still working the case decades later. He tells Popp that after years of searching for new witnesses, the proactive investigation is essentially finished because the last firsthand witnesses have died, though he and his team have gathered several hundred first- and second-hand accounts that, he says, give them the full story already.

Major Marcel and the Wreckage at Home
Popp and Carey recount the night Major Jesse Marcel, the base intelligence officer at Roswell Army Airfield, became the first military man to reach the crash site and stopped at home with a car full of strange wreckage before returning to base. Carey says Marcel's son, the late Jesse Marcel Jr., told him his father believed immediately that the debris was from a flying saucer, something that came to Earth but was not of it. Carey explains investigators believe the craft exploded midair during a thunderstorm, scattering hand-sized fragments across one site, while two alien occupants thrown from the blast died about two and a half miles away; a separate escape capsule carrying three more occupants flew on nearly thirty miles before crashing, where archaeologists found two dead and one still alive the next day, July 7th, bringing the total to five extraterrestrial biological entities. Popp recalls interviewing Jesse Marcel Jr. years earlier and confirms his account of his father being threatened into silence about what he had seen.

Dan Dwyer Meets a Child of the Earth
Carey shares what he calls one of the best-documented accounts of the bodies, from Roswell fireman Dan Dwyer, who ignored orders to stay away from the crash site thirty miles north of town. Dwyer reportedly found the egg-shaped capsule, about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, along with two dead occupants, then noticed a third moving nearby, alive and walking around. Carey says Dwyer later told his family the creature communicated with him telepathically, in their heads, describing it as strikingly frail with an oversized pear-shaped head, slanted eyes, no ears or nose, and a mouth that led nowhere inside. Asked what it looked like, Dwyer reportedly called it a child of the earth, a phrase locals recognized as describing the pink, oval-headed Jerusalem cricket. Carey says the creature reassured Dwyer not to worry, that its comrades were dead and it accepted its fate, before military personnel arrived, took custody, and threatened Dwyer and his family into silence, much as they had threatened Sheriff George Wilcox and others who reached the site.

Weather Balloons, Threats, and a Rancher's Silence
Popp and Carey trace how the story became public and then officially vanished. Base commander Colonel William Blanchard had public information officer Walter Haut announce that the Air Force had recovered a flying saucer, a statement that raced around the world on the wire services amid a nationwide wave of flying-saucer sightings that summer. Carey says a Roswell bookstore owner told him the news spread across town in twenty minutes. Within a day, the story was reversed and the wreckage was reclassified as a weather balloon. Carey explains that rancher Mack Brazel, who first reported the debris, was held for about a week and pressured until he agreed to say it was only a balloon. Carey argues the reversal looks like a local blunder by Blanchard rather than a plan orchestrated from Washington, since announcing a saucer first would be an odd way to begin a cover-up. The story then went quiet for roughly thirty years until Marcel, dying of emphysema, finally spoke to civilian investigator Stanton Friedman.

Ninety Officers and a Hangar at Wright-Patterson
Carey describes what became of the wreckage and the surviving creature: most debris went to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, some to Los Alamos and Lockheed, while the four dead bodies were sent on ahead. He says the living being was kept at Roswell for months before turning up, in the spring of 1948, behind a two-way mirror shown to about ninety Air War College officers visiting from Maxwell Air Force Base. Citing the family of Marine pilot Marion Mac Magruder, Carey says the officers were first shown wreckage on rolling tables, including an indestructible memory metal that unfurled itself back into shape, before viewing the creature, which Magruder later told his son he felt an immediate emotional connection to, sensing its human qualities more than its alien ones. Carey says a colonel's deathbed confession placed the bodies at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, where he believes they remain today, while recovered wreckage is now studied by government contractors like the Battelle Memorial Institute.

Cover-Ups, Tic Tacs, and Old Sci-Fi Favorites
The conversation widens into why governments still hesitate to confirm contact, with Carey arguing that Cold War fears of Soviet spies first drove the secrecy, noting that a Stalin-ordered inquiry found only that the crash was not a Soviet or American project. Both agree modern skepticism, particularly from the government's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, functions much like the old Project Blue Book, dismissing witnesses despite thousands of credible sightings, including Navy pilots' encounters with an unexplained Tic Tac craft and the widely aired USS Nimitz videos. Carey cites Carl Sagan's estimate of a million advanced civilizations in the Milky Way alone as reason enough to expect visitors, and says politicians privately treat the subject as career poison. Popp and Carey swap favorite alien films, The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Thing from Another World, before Carey explains his old Roswell research website was seized by a Chinese company and directs listeners to reach him by email or search his name online, as Popp thanks him warmly and closes the show.

Sound Healing with David Gibson

The Harmonic Structure of Sound: Odd and Even Harmonics From Guitar Strings to Galaxies

David Gibson devotes the hour to the harmonic structure of sound, tracing odd and even harmonics from a plucked guitar string and the singing voice through gongs, crystal bowls, planetary distances, and the golden mean, closing with a live sound meditation for peace.

Inside the Sound Healing Center
David Gibson opens the broadcast with a tour of the Sound Healing Center's four branches: the Globe Institute, the Sound Healing Store, the Sound Therapy Center, and the Sound Healing Research Foundation. He describes Globe Institute as the only state-approved sound healing college in the United States, offering two sound healing certificates and an audio recording certificate, in person in Sausalito and online, with the online certificate program able to start September 29th and the recording program already underway. He walks through the Store's four hundred instruments and technologies, from crystal bowls and Tibetan bowls to Brainwave Assessment and voice analysis software, and mentions the contract bringing eight sound protocols into Northern California's largest dementia care company. He also describes the Research Foundation's library of over a thousand clinical papers, the Medical Sound Association's bimonthly treatment-plan meetings, and a $100,000 grant funding sound curriculum in Montessori schools, before inviting listeners to an October 4th open house in Sausalito.

The Harmonic Structure of Sound
Turning to the day's subject, Gibson explains the harmonic structure of sound, the mathematics behind why one instrument or voice feels different from another. He sings a single sustained "ah" and tells listeners they just heard over a hundred notes and frequencies stacked inside that one sound, since nearly every sound in nature is built from many frequencies at once rather than just one. Demonstrating on a guitar, he plucks the open E string at what he simplifies to 80 Hz, calling it the fundamental or root frequency, then rests a finger lightly on the twelfth fret to isolate the second harmonic at 160 Hz, an octave higher. He shows how the string is simultaneously vibrating in two, three, four, and dozens of smaller sections at once, each producing a frequency that is a whole-number multiple of the root, and explains that the voice's vocal cords generate roughly a hundred such vibrations in exactly the same mathematical pattern.

Odd Harmonics Versus Even Harmonics
Gibson then divides instruments and voices into two families based on which harmonics they emphasize. Metal instruments with bumps, reed instruments, and bagpipes, he explains, produce mostly odd-numbered harmonics, forming a dissonant, edgy chord that he calls activating, evident in gongs, Tibetan bowls struck with a wood stick, clarinets, and heavy metal guitar distortion. Instruments built from nylon string or wood, such as the harp, classical guitar, and wood tongue drum, produce even-numbered harmonics instead, forming a warmer, sweeter chord that calms the nervous system. He carries the same odd-even split into vowels, contrasting the tense, effortful "e" with the relaxed, resonant "oo," and into singers, naming Janis Joplin, Axl Rose, and Bob Dylan as odd-harmonic voices and Barry White and Norah Jones as even-harmonic ones, adding that Adele carries a slight edge of her own.

Matching Sound To The Nervous System
Gibson maps out when to reach for each family of sound. Odd harmonics, he says, break up stuck energy and emotion, energize a room, and help ease people out of depression once introduced gradually, and can speed blood flow for people in early-stage dementia. But he warns they can trigger panic attacks, overwhelm anyone fragile, freshly out of surgery, or living with advanced dementia, where even a Tibetan bowl must be handled carefully and gongs are off limits entirely. He lays out his spectrum of instruments running from most activating to most calming, gongs, noisemakers, the ocean drum, and wood-struck Tibetan bowls at one end, softening through rattles, drums, and frosted bowls, down to soft shakers, handpan, FreeNote xylophone, RAV drum, sansula, and koshi chimes at the other. He notes his own taste shifts through the day, favoring warm even harmonics in the morning, more activation in the afternoon, and calm again by evening.

Harmonics Across Nature And The Body
Zooming out, Gibson traces the same harmonic mathematics through the rest of the body and the cosmos. He describes alchemy crystal bowls carrying the vibrational signature of whatever gemstones or metals are embedded in them into every water droplet of the body, and recounts a visitor who had mapped harmonic chords for each organ, explaining that a person's voice takes on the harmonic structure of their weakest organ, fear-holding kidneys sounding one way, an angry liver another. He extends the pattern to the solar system, describing the distance from the Sun to Mercury as a root frequency multiplied outward through Venus, Earth, Mars, and the asteroid belt, a structure some spiritual teachers, he notes, associate with love. He adds that electron shells, vertebrae, and, in Fabien Maman's view, the human aura all follow the same one-times, two-times, three-times series, which is why acoustic instruments map to the body more precisely than electronic ones.

The Golden Mean And Closing Meditation
Gibson closes by setting the harmonic series against a second pattern, the Fibonacci sequence and its golden mean ratio of 1.618, which he calls nature's spiral, visible in the proportions of the fingers, hand, arm, and face and in shells and galaxies alike, and which he associates with the heart's own resonance when generating love. He calls the harmonic series the masculine structure of the universe and the golden mean its feminine counterpart. To let listeners feel the contrast directly, he plays his own recorded piece "Angelica," built on the odd, edgy harmonics of a tanpura, followed immediately by a mellow, even-harmonic piece he composed for sleep. He then leads listeners live in making the calmest, warmest sound they can manage with their own voice, and sends them off asking them to hold that peaceful state through the evening, the weeks, and the months ahead.

Beverage Chronicles

New Beverage Launches, a Fresh Contributor, and Wine Made for Real Palates with Erin Redden

Title: New Products, New Voices and Wine Made Welcoming

We discuss a range of recent nonalcoholic launches, from hydration and sports-drink innovations to energy mocktails, protein shakes, craft sodas, cold brew and better-for-you beverage options.

Contributor Jessica Gonzalez interviews ECR Vintners founder Erin Carroll Reddan about her small-batch California wines, approachable wine education and hospitality-focused tasting events.

The program closes with a community-minded announcement: Denny’s Heroes is seeking nominations for local educators, caregivers, first responders, volunteers and other hometown difference-makers..

Gary Monterosso runs down a wave of new beverage launches and welcomes new contributor Jessica Gonzalez, who sits down with Erin Redden, founder and CEO of ECR Vintners, to talk small-batch California wine, wine hospitality, and shedding wine intimidation.

New Beverage Launches Fill The Aisles
Gary Monterosso opens Beverage Chronicles with a rapid tour of new products reaching store shelves, noting upfront that the show has no ties to any brand mentioned. He highlights Yesly's new dragon fruit flavor for its vitamin- and electrolyte-infused still water line, arriving alongside a new 12-ounce slim can, and Rockstar's cocktail-inspired Mocktail energy drink, offering mojito, piña colada, and berry spritz flavors with 100 milligrams of caffeine, no sugar, and 46 calories per can. He moves through Silk's first ready-to-drink protein shake, Jones Soda's nostalgic return with Crayola for a Crayola-colors six-pack, and Slice's new pineapple dirty soda. Monterosso also mentions Michigan-based Paramount Coffee's first cold brew line, Joe Knows Coffee, sold in four flavors. He rounds out the segment noting each product's website, keeping the pace brisk and treating the roundup as a snapshot of where beverage innovation stands heading into the fall shopping season.

Sports Drinks And Hydration Get A Refresh
Monterosso shifts to the sports and hydration category, noting BodyArmor's new Flash I.V. Caffeine Zero Sugar line, launching nationwide in pineapple passion fruit and watermelon punch flavors. Propel, fresh off twelve consecutive years of growth, introduces Propel Clear Protein, a ready-to-mix powder combining protein, fiber, and hydration, sold through major retailers and TikTok Shop. Gatorade, owned by PepsiCo, is overhauling its packaging and stepping away from its long-standing focus on professional athletes, organizing its lineup under a new Gatorade Advanced Hydration System built around specific use occasions. Monterosso closes the roundup with Plezi Nutrition, the public-benefit company co-founded by former First Lady Michelle Obama, which has relaunched Plezi Hydration as a next-generation sports drink made with real fruit juice and no added sugar, artificial colors, or what the company calls junk ingredients. He notes the product was developed in collaboration with Steph and Ayesha Curry, closing out the new-products segment before introducing the show's new contributor.

A New Contributor Joins Beverage Chronicles
Monterosso welcomes Jessica Gonzalez as the show's newest contributor, a New York City-based creative marketer and storyteller with a background in psychology and public relations who founded Jessica of All Trades. Gonzalez opens her first feature by introducing Erin Redden, CEO and founder of ECR Vintners, whose wines Gonzalez says she has tried and can personally vouch for. Redden explains that ECR Vintners is a small-batch California wine and hospitality company built around the palates of women, an idea born from years spent in the wine industry and drinking with friends in New York City. She recalls hearing millennial women repeatedly say they avoided California wine, expecting overly oaked whites and bold reds shaped by cheaper bottles common on the East Coast in their twenties. Trips to Napa and Sonoma showed her how good small-production wine could be, inspiring her to craft wines in styles those women actually wanted: higher-acidity whites, lower-tannin reds, and everyday sparkling.

Wine Hospitality Meets Wine Education
Redden describes the ECR name as her own initials, Erin Carol Redden, a deliberate choice in an industry where women have historically been left off the label and out of production. She defines a vintner simply as a wine merchant, covering everything she does. Asked what sets ECR apart, Redden says the company has grown into both wine production and wine education, fusing the two in a way she rarely sees elsewhere: most wineries separate the person who crafts the wine from the person who teaches about it, while she and her team travel to do both together. She describes hosting tastings built around what she calls girl dinner, pairing wines with cheese boards and lighter bites guests can snack on throughout an evening. Gonzalez calls it a new kind of wine catering, comparing it to how familiar food catering already is, and Redden agrees enthusiastically, saying good wine, good food, and good company is simply how life should be lived.

Practical Advice For Wine Newcomers
Turning to advice for intimidated drinkers, Redden says the single best tip is learning to describe what you like and dislike rather than reaching for vague labels. She notes that people often ask for a dry white wine without realizing ninety five percent of white wines already are dry, so the real work is figuring out whether someone prefers minerality, fruit flavor, or tartness. Gonzalez asks whether that means matching wine to a preferred drink style, like sweet or bubbly, and Redden agrees, comparing wine preference to clothing that shifts with the seasons. She says someone who loves sundresses in summer might gravitate toward high-acidity whites, while colder months call for a bold red and warmer ones call for bubbles. Redden encourages listeners to try tasting flights side by side to notice these nuances, framing the exercise as one of the most enjoyable parts of drinking wine rather than something to fear getting wrong.

Rapid Fire, What's Next, And A Community Callout
Redden previews ECR Vintners' fall and winter plans, saying she is leaning harder into producing her own events rather than only booking private tastings for birthdays, bachelorettes, and corporate clients, focused on what actually makes a wine gathering enjoyable. In a closing rapid-fire round, she picks bubbles over red or white every time, calls cheese her favorite wine pairing partner, and tells listeners to stop worrying about serving temperature, saying it is always safer to serve wine a little too cold than too warm since it will warm up in the glass. Gonzalez points listeners to Redden's Instagram, @ecr_vintners, and her website, ecrvintners.com, for questions or bookings. Monterosso closes the broadcast with an unrelated community announcement, introducing Denny's Heroes, a nationwide search honoring educators, caregivers, first responders, and volunteers, with thirty selected honorees receiving a Denny's-catered celebration for up to fifty guests hosted by a local franchise owner. Nominations remain open through October 30th at dennysheroes.com, closing out this week's episode.
