This episode features Patrick Brooks of Tin City Distillery. Tin City Distillery, In Pasa Robles, CA, is "in the heart of a drinking town with a farming problem". After you make world class wine you distill it into brandy. The idea for the distillery came way too late at night while drinking wine. They decided that instead of dumping all of the grape juice down the drain they were going to create brandy from it. The next step was create their own brand and their own distillery. Their still originally came from a 55 gallon Fuji film canister. Today their on their forth still iteration a 375 gallon copper pot still. What you will discover ,when you visit, is a plethora of craft and artisan spirits made collaboratively in and around Tin City. 3064 Limestone Way, Paso Robles, CA 93446 - (805) 286-4453 www.TinCityDistillery.com - Instagram Highlights From our Discussion: Turtle Rock Vineyards Saxum Vineyards George Washington's Mount Vernon Distillery Tin City Documentary BarrelHouse Brewing Co.

Starmer and his Cabinet caught hell for accepting donations of clothes, accommodation, tickets to see Taylor Swift and Arsenal, and more. But as historian Seth Thévoz explains, this is peanuts compared to the largesse afforded to past political generations. Listen up for jaw-dropping tales of free holidays, yachts and stately homes… how Churchill barely owned the clothes he stood up in and fought the Second World War while catastrophically overdrawn at the bank… and where Boris Johnson fits into the Great Nose-in-Trough League of British politics.  • Get tickets for Levitation, the annual festival of electronic music and ideas presented by friends of the pod Castles In Space, at Bedford Esquires on Sat 5 Oct.

The girlies recount the history of humanity's most romantic creation — the love letter — and its contemporary counterpart, the sext. They talk James Joyce's fart fetish, what revenge porn looked like in the 70's, and why the American public waged war on teen sexting in the 2000's.

This month marks the fifth anniversary of Unsound Methods - thank you to everyone who's joined us along the way, and hello to any new arrivals... In this episode we speak to Ewan Fernie and Simon Palfrey about the writing of their collaboratively composed novel 'Macbeth, Macbeth' (available from Boiler House Press, here: https://www.boilerhouse.press/product-page/macbeth-macbeth-by-ewan-fernie-simon-palfrey)  'Macbeth, Macbeth' is described by its authors as a critical fiction. A sequel, critique, and repetition of Shakespeare's play. Slavoj Žižek has described it as: ‘a miracle, an instant classic… as close as one can come to a quantum physics literary criticism'. A video trailer for the book is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru-seZCr3Ho Ewan Fernie is Director of the 2-million-pound lottery-funded ‘Everything to Everybody' Project (everythingtoeverybody.bham.ac.uk), which is reviving the world's first great Shakespeare library and Birmingham's broader reputation as a pioneering modern city. It was a major influence on the Cultural Programme and the Opening Ceremony of the 2022 Commonwealth Games. His day-job is as Chair, Professor and Fellow at the Shakespeare Institute, Stratford-upon-Avon and Culture Lead for the College of Arts and Law, University of Birmingham. Ewan's books include: Shame in Shakespeare, The Demonic: Literature and Experience, Shakespeare for Freedom, Spiritual Shakespeares, Redcrosse: Remaking Religious Poetry for Today's World, Thomas Mann and Shakespeare: Something Rich and Strange, and New Places: Shakespeare and Civic Creativity. For many years, he co-edited the groundbreaking ‘Shakespeare Now!' series with Simon Palfrey. In 2018, he hosted Radical Mischief: Inviting Experiment in Theatre, Thought and Politics with the Royal Shakespeare Company's Deputy Director, Erica Whyman at The Other Place. He is now leading a new project, Serious About Comedy, with Sean Foley, Artistic Director of Birmingham REP, as well as an ambitious cross-cultural initiative with the Birmingham-based artist and curator, Mohammed Ali of Soul City Arts.  He is writing a book about the Scottish writer and philosopher, Thomas Carlyle, provisionally entitled The Dirty History of Hope. Simon Palfrey is Professor of English at Brasenose College Oxford University. His recent work explores the unique kinds of life generated by dramatic, poetic, and fictional forms, and the opportunities this opens up for more imaginative, philosophically adventurous, and politically engaged critical work. His books include Doing Shakespeare (Arden, 2004; 2nd ed. 2011), a TLS International Book of the Year; Shakespeare in Parts (Oxford, 2007, with Tiffany Stern), the MRDS Book of the Year; Poor Tom: living King Lear (Chicago, 2014); Shakespeare's Possible Worlds (Cambridge, 2014) Simon's current projects are inspired by Spenser's Faerie Queene, including a new bestiary, A Poem Come True, and the twice AHRC-award winning Demons Land, a mixed media event (film, drama, dance, paintings, sculptures, soundscapes, text) that imagines an island built in the image of Spenser's epic poem (demonsland.com).

Alex Jones kicks out a French journalist and demonstrates the emotional maturity of a small child.

The recent deaths of both Ted Byfield and Desmond Tutu has brought to light some historical amnesia on just who exactly supported apartheid South Africa and who fought against it. Michael Bueckert joins us to discuss the the many conservative journalists, politicians and activists who supported apartheid. 

We seem to have an almost insatiable appetite for the glitter and sparkle of diamonds. Yet transforming these stones into jewels fit for princesses and film stars involves a long chain of production and distribution. And the diamond industry has long been bound up with a much darker side: the exploitation of workers, environmental damage, all-powerful monopolies and violent mafias, not to mention the so-called Blood Diamonds used to finance armed conflict. So how is the industry trying to clean up its image and regulate the trade? Joining Bridget Kendall to discuss the history of the diamond trade are: Dr. Lansana Gberie, former coordinator for the UN Security Council Panel of Experts on Liberia. He is the author of A Dirty War in West Africa: The RUF and the Destruction of Sierra Leone. He's also Sierra Leone's current Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva and the Sierra Leonean Ambassador to Switzerland - though his contributions to this programme are in a personal capacity. Ian Smillie, founder of the Diamond Development Initiative, now DDI at Resolve, an organisation which works to improve conditions for small-scale miners. He is the author of several books, including Blood on the Stone: Greed, Corruption and War in the Global Diamond Trade. He is based in Canada. Dr. Tijl Vanneste, researcher at the Portuguese Institute of International Relations at Nova University in Lisbon. He is the author of Blood, Sweat and Earth: The Struggle for Control over the World's Diamonds Throughout History.

This minisode visits a very white lady topic: the Jane Austen House Museum.  Mandy announces her disdain for romantic classic literature, and Katy outs herself as a gas station smut-lit aficionado.  But we're both here for the Austen museum's decision to include more context to Austen's writing by addressing the roles of colonialism and slavery in her history.  Yet, not everyone is on board....ahem, white ladies.  Shout out to Vanessa Riley's insightful op-ed in the Washington Post: A Jane Austen museum addressing Regency-era slavery? How sensible.

To transcend infighting in the food movement, finding our common ground is as important as targeting our common enemy. The food movement is amazingly diverse. From personal health and animal rights to protecting worker’s rights and precious ecosystems, our why’s for wanting to radically transform our food system widely differ. So do our tactics and our strategies.  That diversity may just be the food movement's greatest strength, yet it also risks being its biggest weakness.  Infighting is as invasive as it is destructive. The ‘circling fire squad’ - where people with common enemies choose to shoot one another instead - is deeply counterproductive. To transcend infighting, finding our common ground is as important as targeting our common enemy.  Tom Newmark - co-founder of The Carbon Underground - sees an answer in Regenerative Agriculture - and a focus on soil as our common ground.  Tom and I discuss: What led him to regenerative agriculture and why its focus on outcomes rather than practices is transformative How common ground exists between seemingly insurmountable visions in the environmental food movement The differences that do matter: the case for remaining vigilant not only against the expansion of factory farms, but also against the new discourses of 'sustainable intensification' and 'Climate-Smart' Agriculture Links: "The Story of Soil Is the Story of All of Us” - Tom Newmark & Annie Leonard “A Call to Arms to Fight Factory Farms” - Matteo De Vos The Carbon Underground website Chico Center for Regenerative Agriculture and Resilient Systems Tom Newmark’s blog/journal at Finca Luna Nueva Greenpeace 1-minute video Greenpeace Agricultural vision “Less is More” report   You might also like: FFS 024 - The Soilution: Saving our soil, saving ourselves FFS 025 - Breaking Bread with Paleo FFS 037 - The Dirty History of Soil  

On this episode of Dirty History, we'll discuss the ways in which cultures treat the remains of the dead from mummification and ship and sky burial to embalming catastrophes and the ethics of the ossuary.

On this episode of Dirty History, we will discuss why executioners were shunned and feared by middle ages society, and how they coped with it. Also, there is the obligatory recounting of brutal torture executions, a few asides on torture, how to verify death, the various dirty jobs an executioner had to perform, and a rumination on mob violence. This episode does get a touch graphic, but that is to be expected because this is Dirty History.

I have a confession to make. Audio from live events is often awful, and mine was no exception. So we are going to do a little theater of the mind. I re-recorded the lecture I gave at the Lawrence County Historical Society—I even added in ambient noise to recreate what it was like to be there. In this episode, we discuss the Siege of Leningrad and the incident at Chichi Jima as case studies for a larger question. Can we, from our present situations, make determinations about what is or is not morally permissible.

On this episode of Dirty History, we'll explore the surgical theaters and barber shops of pre-antiseptic medical practitioners. I ask that going forward in this episode we check the easily obtainable notion that what was happening to obtain human donors was, yanno, "wrong". Instead let us focus on the structures that led the researchers and surgeons to resort to these less than savory methods.

On this episode, we explore Ancient Greece, Modern Japan, quack medical remedies of old, and more to find out just what drives the sexual enhancement market. Who knows, maybe along the way, we'll unearth the origin of a few age-old phallic-based dilemmas. Tune in, drop out, and learn that which you shouldn't. This is Dirty History

This week is a real David and Goliath episode! From executioner footraces and running the gauntlet to the Blue Whale Game, the contests we found in which individuals are set against society at large can be divided into two categories: one in which the society initiates the game and one in which an individual initiates the game. This is Dirty History

Is culture something wholly different from the natural order? Who are the greatest predators of all? What do fox tossing, bear worrying, goose pulling, and bullfighting have to offer to these questions? Do we have all the answers? Did the Ancient Romans use animals to carry out executions? (Yep) This is Dirty History!

From Psilocybin to Jenkem, Ancient Egypt to present day Zambia, this week should be a mind altering one. Drop that sandwich and plug in those headphones because this is Dirty History!

This week we're taking a deep dive into one of the most complex and persistent issues to come out of World War II—the comfort woman issue. Again, put down that sandwich and get ready...this is Dirty History!

Join me as I sit down with urban historian, Dr. Aaron Cowan as we discuss the highs, lows, and gutters of the American City. We'll talk about the innovations that arise out of filth, disease, crime, prostitution, and a surprising amount of animals. Pick up those headphones and drop that sandwich because this is Dirty History.

When we stop treating dirt like dirt, when we accept it’s neither ‘dirt cheap’ nor ‘dirt poor’, we will come to realise it is the most precious resource we have. Treat dirt, or soil, the way you want to be treated. In this episode, David R. Montgomery joins us to talk about how soil has shaped the course of civilisations. From the Classical Greeks and the Romans to the Maya civilisation – the story of soil and its mistreatment has been central to explaining why civilisations collapse. The plow – the tool that defines farming - is the number one culprit. Some argue it has been more destructive than the sword. David is a Professor of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington, he is a MacArthur Fellow, and author of King of Fish: The Thousand-year Run of Salmon; The Rocks Don't Lie: A Geologist Investigates Noah's Flood; Dirt: The Erosions of Civilizations; The Hidden Half of Nature: The Microbial Roots of Life and Health (which he co-authored with Anne Biklé); and Growing a Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life. We cover: A crash course on soil, soil formation, erosion and degradation The myth that ancient civilisations lived and farmed in harmony with nature The central role of soil in the fall of ancient Greece and Rome The plow: more destructive than the sword? Soil erosion and colonialism, slavery and empire Soil and climate change Soilutions: the promise of conservation agriculture     Links: David Montgomery’s Website and Twitter Dirt: The Erosion of Civilisation– David R.

In the fourth episode of Dirty History, we take a look at the most extreme act of human cruelty—torture. In particular, we're looking at the brutal ancient Persian method of Scaphism. I knew I disliked maggots for a reason.

In the first episode of Dirty History, we will explore the context in which Upton Sinclair wrote his seminal work, The Jungle.

Given the Trump Election and the difference between popular votes and Electoral votes, we explore the Electoral College. Who are the electors, anyway? And will the United States ever join the rest of the world, and adopt a popular vote for president?  Yale University Law & Political Science Professor Akhil Reed Amar says the Electoral College discourages voting, lessens the power of the states, and could work to the disadvantage of either major political party.  On this edition of Making Contact, Akhil Reed Amar speaks with Angela McKenzie of Initiative Radio about how the US constitution can be changed to create a more fair and just society.

Given Trump’s winning the election, and the difference between his popular votes and electoral votes, we revisit our show on the Electoral College. It’s history in the era of slavery, and how it works today.

Anne Helen Petersen writes for BuzzFeed. Her book Scandals of Classic Hollywood is out this week. "I was obsessed with Entertainment Weekly from the very first issue and I obsessively catalogued it. I made a database on my Apple IIe where I put in the title of the magazine and the number and whether it was a little 'e' or a big 'E' on the cover and the different topics and then I gave it a grade. You know how in Entertainment Weekly they give everything a grade, so I’d be like 'Oscar’s Issue: A minus.' But I learned how to obsessively track Hollywood industry even though I grew up in a very small town in northern Idaho."
