Welcome to the Cartel Hour Podcast, hosted by Seth and Cameron. In the fall of 2019, after Seth appeared as a guest on Cameron's podcast (LA Conversations), the two continued to drink and discuss the spirits industry for hours. They quickly realized that their initial podcast experience was not enough to even scratch the surface on the topic of spirits.
Shortly thereafter, the pair began podcasting on spirits, combining their efforts to create an entirely new podcast and community centered around informative and approachable discussions about spirits - nothing pretentious or obnoxious. The podcast is co-hosted by Cameron Stephens, former Golden Road brewer, realtor and podcast producer, and Seth Benhaim, owner and founder of Infuse Spirits & Broken Barrel Whiskey and avid spirits enthusiast/collector.
Each episode focuses on a specific subject or category of the spirits industry such as spirit types, regions, collaborations, competitions, and brand focuses, all featuring unique and knowledgeable industry veteran guests. The guests include brand owners and ambassadors, bartenders, distributors, writers, bloggers, influencers, and even other podcasters.
