Join me for a Joel Gott sauvignon blanc, as I talk about the rest of the Outside Lands lineup. I give you a quick taste of each artist, and then talk about the stages, other Outside Lands experiences, and give you some final tips if you're a first timer. And if you're not going, think of this as a crash course in new artists. (The episode is broken up, with artists featured in the first part, and the other experiences featured in the latter.) Cheers!
