    Fermentation

    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.

    Corn

    Conor and David talk maize....eventually. The staple crop of The Maya people and Aztecs was once scorned by European settlers in favor of wheat, which was considered more civilized. Centuries later in an ugly example of colonial irony, corn is inescapable in the American diet and a key industrial product. They discuss the ways corn was used before the Europeans showed up, what makes it such a unique plant, and satisfy the Episode 1 cliffhanger in: >>>>>>>
