On PlayStation 5 in the near future, you're going to be hacking, slashing, stabbing, and serrating your enemies with reckless abandon. For starters, the dangerously-clawed Wolverine emerges in September, along with a newly-announced special edition PS5 console, a couple of DualSense controllers, and even some plates for your existing hardware. (Plus, the previews are quite positive!) September also provides us with horroresque Halloween: The Game from IllFonic, which interestingly enough won't be released in Australia and New Zealand for the stupidest reason. Come October, hack-and-slash RPG Phantom Blade 0 joins the fray -- a long-in-development Chinese game that's getting its own State of Play imminently -- not to mention Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition, packing new single-player content galore alongside the return of the Katana-wielding Atsu. Other news this week includes a surprise PS3-era Lord of the Rings drop, insane data about Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders, and more. But we end, as we always do, with listener inquiries. Will Sony really eschew any sort of external disc drive for PlayStation 6, if only for backwards compatibility purposes? Why is visiting a new town in an RPG typically such an exciting experience? What would a "Digital Bill of Rights" look like? Is Dustin losing his Japanese language skills through atrophy?

A Taste of PanforteI still remember the first time I held a slice of panforte in my hands. It was a cold December afternoon in Siena, and the air smelled of woodsmoke and winter. Someone handed me a small, dense wedge dusted with white sugar, and when I bit into it the world seemed to slow down. Honey, toasted almonds, candied orange, cinnamon, and a quiet heat of pepper unfolded all at once. It was not soft like cake. It was firm, almost chewy, and it stayed with me long after the last crumb was gone.I later learned that this strange, beautiful sweet had been born in these same streets more than eight hundred years ago. In 1205 the nuns of the Abbey of Montecelso already received gifts of “panes melati et pepati” — honeyed and peppered breads — from local farmers. Spices were precious then, carried along the Via Francigena from distant lands, and only the wealthy or the monasteries could afford them. Over time the recipe grew richer. Nuts, candied citron, orange peel, cloves, nutmeg, and coriander joined the honey and flour. What began as a way to preserve fruit and celebrate abundance became the proud specialty of Siena.They say the name “panforte,” strong bread, came from its intense, almost medicinal character. In the nineteenth century the poet Ugo Foscolo wrote of receiving panforti as gifts. Later, when Queen Margherita visited Siena for the Palio, the bakers created a milder version dusted with powdered sugar and named it in her honor. That is the panforte most of us know today — still dense with almonds and candied fruit, still fragrant with spice, but gentler than the old panpepato.I have watched it being made. Almonds are toasted until their skins blister. Candied orange and citron are chopped into glistening jewels. Honey and sugar are melted together until they form a dark, fragrant syrup. Flour and a secret blend of spices are stirred in, and the whole mixture is pressed into shallow rounds lined with edible wafer. After a short time in the oven the surface sets, and once cooled it is showered with sugar like fresh snow.Every Christmas in Siena the shops fill with round boxes decorated with medieval scenes. Families still give panforte as gifts. I keep a wedge in my kitchen all winter. When I cut a thin slice and let it rest on my tongue, I taste more than sweetness. I taste the patience of monks, the daring of merchants, the pride of a city that turned expensive spices into something humble and lasting. Panforte does not try to be light or fashionable. It is heavy with history, and that is exactly why I love it.Each bite reminds me that some things are meant to endure — dense, spiced, and quietly magnificent — just like Siena itself.More Podcasts

A Four Corners investigation into food fraud has reignited calls for an overhaul of country of origin food labelling, two wool service organisations are expected to merge, decades after a merger was first proposed, the Smart Sat CRC wound up at the end of June and in its place the Australasian Space Innovation Institute has taken over the work translating research into space-enabled solutions.

Much of what people think about different cultures, forms of communication, and overall experiences is learned through television and film. Dr. Dimitria Gatzia completed a content analysis to help determine if portrayals of synesthesia are accurate or whether audiences are being led to believe things that further marginalize neurodivergent voices.

How big is this year's pistachio crop--and just how many pistachios does the average American eat each year?  The golden mussel, California's newest invasive pest, is already causing millions of dollars in damage. Plus, the almond harvest is beginning --we'll look at their challenges and market conditions. Food prices continue to rise, but are farmers sharing in those higher prices? And where does California rank when it comes to grocery costs? 

Dimitri Tsitos, co-founder of Agrosystemic, left Greece a decade ago, spent years working across European farming systems, and eventually landed in Portugal to run what has become one of the most rigorously monitored regenerative trials in Mediterranean intensive tree crop agriculture. He is the lead on the field research side of the Arbo-Innova project, a multi-farm, multi-consortium research platform focused specifically on the question of whether regenerative practices can be meaningfully integrated into the intensive orchard systems that now cover hundreds of thousands of hectares across the Iberian Peninsula.A five-hectare plot of intensive almonds at Monta Silveira Farm, in Portugal, fenced against deer, planted at the same density as the conventional neighbours surrounding it on all sides, and now in its third growing season: that is where this conversation takes place. The trees are about two metres tall. The interlines are green with different cover crop mixes. One area is under plastic mulch; another has clovers growing in the tree lines themselves. The data is beginning to come in, and what it is showing — on nitrogen levels inside the tree, on herbicide use, on fungal disease pressure, on water infiltration — is quietly shifting the conversations Dimitri is having with an industry that, until recently, was mostly watching from a distance.In this walk-and-talk episode, recorded at 8am on a May morning in Portugal, birds audible throughout, with the 8,000 hectares of conventional intensive almonds next door visible at every turn, we get into why cover cropping can fail spectacularly at 70 euros a hectare and why that matters enormously for adoption, what clovers on the tree berm are doing to nitrogen inside the almond tree (and what they're competing for in return), why the most intellectually honest conventional growers are the ones leaning in first, how the J-curve of regenerative transition can be quantified and eventually financed, and why the real metric of progress might be the moment a farmer asks you to slow down.More about this episode.Thoughts?

In this episode, the host digs into a LinkedIn argument that got under his skin — people applying Midwest logic to Western water problems. He breaks down why water rights in the West are a completely different beast: from California's century-old water accords and LA's dependence on Lake Mead, to Oregon refusing to pull from the Columbia River while Idaho and Washington farm the same banks. He also tackles the data center water debate, explains why almonds are a valid water concern but hay isn't, and shares firsthand experience with the contradictory demands of California's air board and irrigation districts. If you've never had to think about water rights, this episode will change that.

Popularity grew during WWII when families would send the treat to soldiers on the front. Made primarily from butter, the treat was affordable to make and easily transported in packages. Plus, the shelf life lasted a long time. Some people refer to butter crunch as toffee, but there are a few differences between the two. Toffee is a traditional confection made by caramelising sugar with butter, then cooling it...Buttercrunch recipes started evolving when confectioners swapped brown sugar for white granulated sugar and added nuts for extra flavour and texture. Almonds became an especially popular type of nut to use in butter crunch.

In this conversation, Jeff Sarris and Jill Harris discuss the implications of consuming almonds, particularly in relation to kidney stones. They explore the role of oxalates in kidney stone formation, the importance of dietary adjustments, and the need for proper guidance in managing kidney health. The discussion emphasizes the balance between healthy eating and the potential risks associated with overconsumption of certain foods, particularly almonds and spinach.TakeawaysAlmonds are often considered healthy but can contribute to kidney stones.Oxalates found in almonds can lead to high levels in urine, increasing stone risk.Dieticians may not always provide specific advice on oxalate levels.Many people overconsume healthy foods, thinking more is better.It's essential to monitor oxalate levels in urine to prevent kidney stones.Reference ranges for oxalate levels in urine may be misleading.Dietary changes can significantly lower oxalate levels and prevent stones.Almonds and spinach are commonly removed from kidney stone diets.Other nuts can be consumed in moderation as alternatives to almonds.Education on kidney health and diet is crucial for prevention.00:00 Understanding Almonds and Kidney Stones06:25 Dietary Recommendations for Kidney Stone Prevention——When you're ready, here's how I can helpSince 1998, I've helped thousands of patients prevent kidney stones.

The United States Supreme Court by a vote of 6 to 3 has struck down President Trump's tariffs, to the relief of most farmers who have experienced severe financial losses and rising costs of farm inputs. The 2025 tariffs, imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IIEPA) covered nearly all trading partners, but China faced rates exceeding 100 percent. In response, Beijing escalated retaliatory duties on key agricultural imports. Almonds were hit with a 45 percent tariff.  As a result American Agriculture has suffered, especially soybeans in the Corn Belt. In California alone  agricultural exports to China collapsed with the total value of 13 major commodities dropping 57 percent, according to research at UC Davis.. California Congressmen Jim Costa, MIke Thompson and John Garamendi met with California farmers the week of the Supreme Court ruling where there were expressions of strong opposition to the Trump imposed trade wars. House Ag Committee member, Congressman Jim Costa explained the implications of the trade issue and the scheduled mark up to the proposed Farm Bill that is getting underway.  Here are Congressman Costa's opening remarks to the farmers and a follow-up exchange with Congressman Thompson at a farmer meeting at the Yolo County Farm Bureau Office in Woodland California.

I. In my 2019 post Too Much Dark Money In Almonds, I asked: why is there so little money in politics? During the 2018 election, Americans - candidates, parties, PACs, and small donors like you - spent a combined $5 billion pushing their preferred candidates. Although that sounds like a lot of money, Americans spent $12 billion on almonds that same year. Why the imbalance? The oil industry has strong political opinions, and they make $500 billion per year. Do they really think electing oil-friendly politicians isn't worth 2% of revenue? We debated how this could be. Some of the discussion proved prescient - I asked if maybe Elon Musk should buy some kind of social media property. But we never found a good answer, and the implied question remained open: if some billionaire wanted to spend an actually relevant percent of his net worth on politics, could he just take over everything? I recently talked to some Silicon Valley political consultants who updated me on the status of this issue: Marc Andreessen tried this in 2024 and it basically worked. Now he is trying it a second time, it will probably work again, and Marc Andreessen will probably own every politician twice over. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/tech-pacs-are-closing-in-on-the-almonds

Caleb is joined by Sam Kass, former senior food policy advisor to President Obama and the chef who cooked dinner for the first family most nights. Now a partner at a venture capital firm investing in food and agriculture tech, Sam has a new book out, The Last Supper: How to Overcome the Coming Food Crisis. The situation, he says, is bleak. Almonds, artichokes, chocolate, coffee, oysters, rice, wine — all at risk due to climate change. And that's not even close to the full list.
