Seltzetopia - Episode 1 - The Edelmanns, Heard on the Street, and On the Route With Walter Seltzertopia

Welcome to the age of effervescence! This podcast is dedicated to exploring all things seltzer, especially as captured in the book Seltzertopia: The Extraordinary Story of an Ordinary Drink. Hosted by the book's author, Barry Joseph, this podcast delves into the 14 years of original research that went into what the Pittsburgh Jewish Sentinel called " a sparkling take on all things seltzer" and Mel Brooks praised as "Of the thousands of books written about seltzer water, this is by far my favorite." For the first time, go behind the scenes of the book to hear the voices of the dozens of fascinating figures who bring Seltzertopia to life. More at Seltzertopia.com.
