President John Adams chats cider & podcasting!

Cider Chat MC Ria chats with the 2nd US President John Adams about cider and podcasting - via this mini promo/spoof for "Thanks, Podcasting".

 Welcome to “Thanks, Podcasting!” where you’ll get to hear

stories of inspiration, transformation and impact because of podcasting.

My name is Ria Windcaller from Cider Chat over at CiderChat.com

Listen to the Bubbling Carboys in the background

That bubbling in the background is the sound of sweet, fresh pressed apple juice transforming into qualfable cider or what some folks in the US call hard cider. It is a fact of US history and World history that cider has been both an inspirational drink that has transformed the lives of many.

 John Adams who was both a founding Father and became the 2nd president of the United State and who worked with Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence was known to have a pint of cider every single day. And, I am sure if John Adams was joining me on this special edition of “Thanks Podcasting” today, he would most certainly say,

Who could that be? Don’t they see the sign that says, Podcasting Shhhh - Hmmm?

 Ria: President Adams?

John Adams: I heard that President Obama was on a podcast and I er. heard you were doing a Thanks Podcasting show and sooo.

Ria: Absolutely Mr President here the mic.

Adams: Here the President clear his voice....If we had podcasting back at the time of the birth of our nation, I would have been able to thank podcasting for helping me, avoid having to ride my horse all the way from Boston, Massachusetts to Philadelphia Pennsylvania to quibble with Jefferson about that Declaration of Independence. Podcasting is a form of free speech that benefits all and I raise my trusty tankard of cider to podcasting.”

 Ria: Well thanks John! I mean Mr. President!

 John Adams: You are most certainly welcome, now carry on.

Ria: Mr. President would you like a glass of cider before you get back on your horse?

 John Adams: Well yes, I most certainly would.

 Ria: Excellent! Well, What do you think of that Mark Maron? Anyone can have a president on their show, but a Founding Father? Geez Louise!

Now before I roll out the barrel I would like to once again say, Thanks Podcasting. As a online medium and I’m not taking Ouija boards now –

 John Adams: Eh um - Certainly not Ria!

 Ria: Podcasting has inspired me to reach out to you and transform the airways into a virtual chat room where we can all grab a glass and join a chat with the likes of John Adams and you.

 And that is dear listeners and friends of Ciderville is not only the impact of cider but the amazing impact of reaching out to you via podcasting

 Hear the pop and pour of the cider bottle

Ria: You were Spot on sir.

 John Adams: Well, Thank you Ria.

There’s a whole world in a glass of cider, and Cider Chat is your invitation to explore it. Hosted by award-winning cidermaker and writer Ria Windcaller, this podcast travels far beyond the bottle to meet the people who make the global cider culture so vibrant. Each conversation is a journey-you might find yourself in a heritage orchard learning the history of forgotten apple varieties, in a bustling taproom with an importer explaining regional traditions, or in a kitchen with a chef pairing cider with unexpected foods. The discussions get into the delightful nuances, too, whether that’s the semantics of what we even call this drink or how the concept of terroir translates from soil to sip. It’s not just about production; it’s about the community, the travel, and the stories that fermentation unlocks. This is for anyone curious about the craft, history, and sheer enjoyment of fermented apple juice in all its forms. So, pour a glass and settle in for a series that feels like a wide-ranging, informative, and genuinely good-humored chat with friends who happen to be obsessed with cider. You’ll come away with a deeper appreciation for every effervescent, tart, or sweet sip, hearing directly from the growers, makers, and enthusiasts who are shaping this drink’s exciting present and future.
