    Prometheus Unbound | The Bananas History of Bananas Part One

    Bananas are dying out. Unless there's a seismic shift in the industry, in 10 to 30 years, there may be no more bananas at all. The problem is a fungal pathogen that banana plants have no resistance to. Only, the disease itself is just one part of the story... There's a villain in the tale of bananas, and that's really who we're here to talk about. Our journey begins 200 years ago, with a hectic cowboy, a cursed railroad, and one fruity idea that would change the course of history.   Produced by Sam Johnides Written and created by Mem Kennedy   Citations for this episode https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NmqxG46LJkbpDKXhV9viS7GPfAZnz07A/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=104841954281220142062&rtpof=true&sd=true
