A new podcast is set to reframe the way we think about wellness. The Inner Table: The Art of Living Well brings together the worlds of gastronomy, mindset and modern living, offering a fresh, balanced perspective on what it truly means to live well. Hosted by leading wine expert Libby Brodie and subconscious specialist Anna Lancaster, The Inner Table explores the space where pleasure meets intention.
Through intimate, unscripted conversations, the podcast invites listeners to move beyond extremes and rediscover a more sustainable, joyful approach to wellbeing.
At a time when wellness culture is often defined by restriction, The Inner Table offers an alternative: one rooted in balance, connection and lived experience. Built around great conversation, thoughtful hospitality and honest reflection, each episode creates a space that feels both aspirational and deeply real.
Born from a genuine friendship between the two hosts, The Inner Table perfectly harmonises their joint expertise. Libby Brodie (below left), one of the most influential voices in wine and gastronomy, brings deep expertise in taste, provenance and the evolving landscape of conscious consumption. Anna Lancaster, a globally recognised subconscious and mindset expert, offers insight into behaviour, habits and emotional wellbeing, helping translate everyday rituals into meaningful personal change.Together, they create a rare dialogue between external experience and internal awareness – bridging two worlds that are often kept separate.
The Inner Table launches on Apple and Spotify from 28th April, with Season One comprising five filmed and recorded episodes. The series is proudly sponsored by Coravin, the innovative wine preservation system that allows wine lovers to pour a glass without removing the cork — perfectly aligning with the podcast’s ethos of savouring wine with intention, flexibility and balance.

Each episode is paired with a curated drink experience and signature reflective moments — from letting go of what no longer serves us, to celebrating small, everyday rituals of joy.
Where Wine Meets Wellness
At the heart of the podcast is a compelling cultural insight: wine and wellness are not opposites, but natural partners. Wine, an 8,000-year-old ritual embedded in human history, has long been associated with connection, celebration and culture. Today, as the definition of wellness evolves, there is a growing shift toward intentional enjoyment — embracing life’s pleasures with awareness rather than eliminating them altogether.
The Inner Table explores this intersection — positioning wine not simply as a drink, but as a symbol of connection: to people, to place and to the moments that make life meaningful. Ultimately, The Inner Table reflects a broader cultural shift — away from rigid definitions of health and toward a more human, holistic way of living. It recognises that wellbeing is not just about what we remove from our lives, but what we choose to include: connection, pleasure, ritual and meaning. As wellness continues to evolve, The Inner Table offers a timely and necessary voice — one that invites listeners not to live perfectly, but to live well.
