Weezie’s 12 is a short form podcast by Cheers Charlotte host Jay Weezie.  Jay asks the same 12 questions to Industry, Influencers and Amateurs in the food and beverage world. Some questions are simple and some are little more thought provoking.  They all are in good fun to give you another side of the people that serve you beer, cook your food, or you follow on Instagram. In between full length episodes of Cheers Charlotte you’ll get these 10-20 minute episodes of Weezie’s 12.  Each week is a different person sometimes suggested by a previous guest of the show, but always someone interesting and creative.
