Self Checkout David Jeffery Harper, Conor Sheridan

David shows Conor how to make Tahdig live! We get a tour of Conor's kitchen, some fond memories of the past few months, and some real life cooking noises. Stay tuned, because Conor and David are taking a short break over the holiday season and will be back in the winter!

Conor and David discuss the means and conditions in which our food is harvested in the United States.

DISCLAIMER- David and Conor had some audio woes this episode, but still managed to discuss the finer points of controlled spoilage in food. From beer to pickles to hot sauce and cheese, they cover the action that fermentation takes. They of course talk historical significance but keep slipping into the magical esoteric connections between society, people as a super-organism and knitting as it relates to fermentation.

Conor and David discuss the history of tea, queer representation on TV, colonialism, Jewel's career arc, and more facts on coffee. Somehow "spill the tea" only is uttered two or three times.

Conor and David reprise some errors we may have made, and make a few more in the process.

It's hard to overstate the personal and global impact that coffee maintains. In this episode Conor and David have personal chat about how they've seen landmark moments over cups of coffee, what place coffee has in the world economy, and why people pay hundreds of dollars a pound for literal crap coffee.
