Bonus Pour: The Red That Stays After the Music Stops
In this bonus episode of Odd One Out, Odd sits down with a bottle of red wine that’s personal — because he helped bring it into the world. The Odd One Out Tuscany Blend flips tradition on its head: 70% Canaiolo, 30% Sangiovese, hand-harvested in Chianti Classico, but made the Odd way.
It’s not about following rules. It’s about fruit, honesty, and making something drinkable, versatile, and a little bit odd. Odd takes you behind the vineyard gates of Tenuta la Novella, into spontaneous fermentation, stainless steel aging, and why this wine is both smashable and serious at the same time.
Along the way: pizza warnings, pasta sauce hacks, a detour into No Diggity, and the bigger reason he wanted to create a red that’s neither boringly serious nor neon chaos — just good, real juice.
Pour a glass (coffee mug if you must), and join Odd for a story about making wine, breaking tradition, and finding joy in the odd one out.

Vetle Nes O'Shaugnessy(NESO) on Addiction, Art, Staying Alive and other light topics.
In this episode of Odd One Out, Odd sits down with Vetle Nes O’Shaugnessy—aka NESO—an artist whose work veers from absurd and playful to unsettling and deeply personal. He’s navigated years of mental health struggles, addiction, and the slow climb back toward stability.
They talk about making art in the middle of chaos, the pull of alcohol and drugs, what sobriety really changes (and what it doesn’t), and how mental health threads through all of it.
This one's about survival, perspective, and finding a way to keep creating—without losing yourself completely.

Tessa (Therese Storebø) on Distilling, being an improver of the Industry and Women's challenges in hospitality and spirits.
In this episode of Odd One Out, Odd sits down with Tessa, a bartender-turned-distiller who’s fought her way through the world run by men, old machinery, and misbehaving botanicals. She now helps run Feddie Ocean Distillery—one of few 100% women-owned spirit companies in the world.
They talk about why women leave hospitality, the invisible lines of alcohol-fueled abuse, menstrual superpowers in blind tastings, and how good vibes can become a dangerous cover for bad behavior. Also: bag-in-box gin, the myth of “just booze,” and the power of letting people taste your mistakes.
This one’s about more than spirits. It’s about ownership, culture, and calling shit out—without ruining the party.

Paul Lagerstedt on Drinking without Dying and the Thousandaire Dream
What happens when a tick, a Twin Peaks childhood, and a glass of red wine collide?
In this episode of Odd One Out, Odd sits down with Paul Lagerstedt — a mechanic turned mad-scientist who quietly dropped out of his 26-year family business, is living with Lyme disease, and somehow ended up inventing a sachet that might change how we drink alcohol.
They talk about health, trauma, guilt, and that weird gray zone between doing good and wondering if you're still part of the problem. Paul’s invention, ALKAA, filters out the hidden toxins in alcohol that mess up your body, and just might be a small revolution in a teabag. But is making alcohol “too easy” a step too far?
This episode isn’t just about hangovers. It’s about the quiet reinventions we all go through, the challenges of selling something no one knows they need, the current situation in the US and of course; it ends with karaoke.

The Prosecco Episode: Taste, Truth, and the Odd One Out (Bonus episode)
In this episode of Odd One Out, host Odd Fjeldsgaard Rasmussen shares the story behind his very own Prosecco — from the hills of Treviso to the shelves of Norway. But this isn't just about wine; it's about why he felt the need to make it in the first place.
Odd opens up about the kind of wines that didn’t speak to him, and the desire to create something honest — a bottle that reflects both quality and personality without the pretension. He also shares thoughtful listener feedback, talks flavor, and dives into what makes this Prosecco balanced, unpretentious, and deeply personal.
Whether you're into wine or just into finding your place in the world, this one’s for you.
Follow along, rate the show, and remember: stay odd.

Connor Thornton on Alcohol, Identity, Grief & Other Light Topics
What happens when two guys who’ve spent their lives behind the bar finally sit down in front of the mic? Odd Fjeldsgaard Rasmussen and Connor Thornton get into it — everything from, childhood stories to fatherhood, fake smiles, and the strange ways alcohol can both connect and protect.
It’s a conversation about identity, intimacy, and trying to make people happy (while slowly falling apart behind the scenes). Expect moral hangovers, stories with heart, and a few uncomfortable truths — all delivered with the kind of humor that only comes from working too many nights in hospitality.
If you’ve ever laughed through burnout, made friends over shots, or wondered what the hell you’re still doing with your life… this one’s for you.
