The Fred Minnick Show Podcast Launches on KMG Utopia Studios


KMG Utopia Studios, a division of Krantz Media Group (KMG), today announced that Bourbon expert Fred Minnick will launch "The Fred Minnick Show" beginning January 17th. The show will feature the biggest artists in music talking bourbon, music, and a wide range of topics with best-selling author, editor-in-chief of Bourbon+ Magazine, personality on the Spirits Network and the curator (with Danny Wimmer Presents) of the annual Bourbon & Beyond music festival. More superstar artists will be announced in the coming weeks and months. Michter's Distilleries and San Francisco World Spirits Competition are the first sponsors to sign on.

"Bourbon and music are art", remarked Minnick, this podcast combines the artistic minds of musicians with the rich flavors of American whiskey. I interview artists, who open up about their lives, perhaps inspired by good drink, and delve into their favorite styles of drink. Sometimes, they don't even know what their favorite flavors are, but I help them discover".

"Through his work with Danny Wimmer Presents Country's Hometown Rising, Rock's "Louder than Life", and as Bourbon curator of "Bourbon & Beyond" festivals in Louisville, Fred has serious creditability with the music artist community, and he is amazing storyteller, said Gary Krantz, CEO of KMG/Utopia. "He brings out a side of the artists that is not revealed in a traditional interview which they love to be a part of."

The podcast will be produced in conjunction with the newly launched KMG Utopia Podcast Studios, via the Triton/Omny Studio platform, and will be available on all podcast platforms including Apple iTunes, IHeartradio, Spotify, Stitcher, and Tunein.
