About Ashley
Ashley Cannard is the creator and host of Wine Not Talk About It? — known for her dry wit, sharp perspective, and ability to uncover meaning (or madness) in everything from internet drama to cultural conspiracies. With a love for deep conversations, big questions, and a well-poured glass of wine, Ashley brings an honest, unfiltered, surprisingly thoughtful approach to every episode.
When she’s not recording, Ashley’s usually taking way too many photos of her dogs sleeping, watching more tv than she should, avoiding her row machine (which she bought specifically to use while watching tv...), or spiraling down an internet rabbit hole. Her mix of curiosity, smart commentary, and “tell it like it is” honesty is what keeps listeners coming back each week. Speaking of “tell it like it is,” Ashley offers 1:1 sessions where you get the insight (and laughs) you didn’t know you needed.

RECURRING GUESTS
Lee Williams
Lee is a Sacramento native with no shortage of opinions. If something annoys him, fascinates him, or even vaguely inconveniences him, you’re going to hear about it.
From the “straight pride parade” you call traffic to the questionable taste of LA tap water, nothing escapes his commentary. He’s got thoughts, and trust me — he’s not keeping them to himself.

Brooke Darby
Brooke brings a grounded mix of humor, warmth, and quiet chaos whenever she joins the show — the kind that keeps things real while still going completely off the rails in the best way. She’s here for the laughs, the tangents, and the “how did we even get on this topic?” kind of moments, blending pop culture, real life, and those oddly deep conversations that happen when no one’s really trying to have one.
