In “Oh, Snapper! Mislabeled Mississippi Seafood,” Gravy producer Boyce Upholt takes listeners to Biloxi, Mississippi—a town that has long called itself the Seafood Capital of the World. But in May 2024, shocking news hit the community: Mary Mahoney's Old French House, an iconic restaurant, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to misbrand fish and wire fraud. For years, the iconic 60-year-old establishment had been selling cheap imported fish as premium local Gulf seafood, defrauding more than 55,000 customers. What makes this story particularly fascinating is the public's reaction, or lack thereof. Despite learning they'd been deceived, loyal diners packed Mary Mahoney's after the guilty plea, with customers posting on Facebook about their continued support for “their favorite restaurant.” This unexpected response reveals the complexities of the local identity in a place that is grappling with economic and environmental change. Biloxi's seafood industry once thrived on genuine abundance. Indigenous peoples had harvested oysters here for thousands of years, and by 1904, the town earned its “seafood capital” moniker through a booming cannery industry that shipped Gulf oysters nationally and internationally. But the same forces that built Biloxi's reputation—industrialization and globalization—eventually undermined it. Imported seafood began dragging down local prices in the 1980s, and disasters like Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill further devastated the fishing fleet. Mary Mahoney's fraud, meanwhile, turned out to be just the tip of an iceberg. A consulting group used genetic testing and found that out of 44 area restaurants, only 8 were properly labeling their shrimp. Yet Biloxi's dining scene is also experiencing a renaissance. Chefs like Alex Perry at Vestige and Austin Sumrall at White Pillars have earned James Beard nominations while championing local ingredients and sustainable sourcing. Even at more casual spots like Bradley's—located inside a gas station—proprietors prove that serving authentic Gulf seafood can be both affordable and profitable. What parts of Biloxi's identity matter? What does it mean, really, to be local? As Biloxi transforms from a working fishing port into a tourist destination dotted with casinos and chain restaurants, the town faces a choice about what parts of its heritage to preserve. The seafood fraud scandal serves as a mirror, reflecting not just economic pressures but cultural ones—revealing how a community that built its identity on the ocean's bounty must now decide whether that connection still matters.

On this week's episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore's news podcast, host Alex Perry is joined by Ben Robinson from Master Replicas for a supplemental interview special. This week, we discuss the recent announcement from Master Replicas about the release of a line of Star Trek action figures for the Paramount+ shows, made in the same scale as the 1990s Playmates line of figures. Ben discusses how the figures will release, their prices, their hopes for how deep the line can go, and additional plans for playsets, roleplaying toys, and why Master Replicas thinks that it has the ingredients to go the distance and deliver a full range of new figures to eager collectors.   *** Do you have a wish or theory you'd like to share on the show?

In this unique episode, we bring together two sets of twin brothers - Alex and Elliott Perry host Jonathan and Rob Rosenberg - for an intimate discussion about the special bond between twins. Through games, stories, and candid conversation, they explore how their twin relationships have shaped their lives, from navigating childhood moves to building successful businesses. The brothers discuss the unwritten rules between twins, like never letting romantic interests come between them, and share how they've maintained their close bonds while developing individual identities. Both sets of twins reveal the challenges and advantages of having a built-in best friend, including their experiences with competition, shared friend groups, and being mistaken for each other.

In northern Chile, a stretch of Atacama Desert has become known as the fashion industry's biggest dumpster. Discarded clothing enters the country in bales through the tax-free zone in Iquique. What can't be sold by merchants gets transported to neighboring Alto Hospicio and illegally dumped into its surrounding dunes. These illegal landfills come with a host of environmental and human-health issues, including greenhouse gas emissions and fires that spew toxic fumes. Most stories about this region are filled with bleakness. But a community of activists, educators and artists are turning the fashion industry's trash into seeds for change and building the foundation for a different narrative. “Built from Scrap” read by Alex Perry and written by Franco Calderón.
