The Art of The Drink was created by writer/director/host by Anthony Caporale. Art of the Drink is a Video Podcast that plays out in a simple format, first Anthony prepares the drink of the day and then he has his co-host make the drink following his instructions. The first episode was released on May 1, 2006, and the episodes usually run anywhere from 1:46 to 11:02 but on average the episodes are 6 minutes long, and running about 24 shows a season.
In the episodes they differ from regular television shows obviously in the length of time that they run, but also in the content they talk about, and most importantly, no commercials. There is no filler or any other information then what the point of the show is, to learn how to make a perfect mixed drink. This is a very interesting and informative show to watch. Its like taking bartending school without have to pay the 300 dollar charge, and with drink names like The Blue Motorcycle, Snake Bite, World Cup and Godfather, who wouldn't want to watch this show.
Another plus of the online shows is that you can watch it whenever you please, even though today DVR's and TiVo are getting more popular the ease of watching there shows when and pretty much where ever you want to, makes it very convenient.
Art of The Drink has received numerous awards and was even commended as best of 2006 in the New York Times. The episodes are a great tool to have and are just fun to watch with some episodes containing trivia contests about previous episodes and outtakes of the cast. Art of The Drink is fun, interesting and informative webisode to watch.

I also found that webisodes are nice in that you don't have to deal with commercials and that you have the option to watch when you want. Your webisode is definitely useful to anyone in the bar and restaurant business. Nice post
