If you’re having a bit of deja vu over a plastic bag ban, you’re not alone. When Oregon lawmakers passed the first ban in 2019, which prohibited using so-called single-use plastic bags, more than a dozen Oregon cities had already passed such bans. But the ban's environmental aim of reducing the use of plastic - and its impacts on the environment and human health - did not end up achieving that goal. Grocers replaced the thinner, single-use bags with a thicker, sturdier version that in theory could be reused but only rarely were. The new plastic bag ban lawmakers have now sent to the governor for signature would eliminate all plastic bags from grocers and restaurants in favor of paper bags. Celeste Meiffren-Swango is the state director of Environment Oregon. She joins us to share more about how this new bill is expected to actually reduce plastic waste and what she hopes people do between now and Jan. 2027, when the law goes into effect.

A CMO Confidential Interview with Dr. Joel Shapiro, Managerial Economics & Decision Sciences Professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern, formerly Varicent Chief Analytics Officer. Joel discusses the difference between Data Science and Data Leadership, how many "little, better decisions" aggregate into something meaningful, and why everyone should remember that "data doesn't make decisions." Key topics include: understanding asymmetric risk, how intangibles scuttled a profitable data driven opportunity; why you should never say "because the model says so;" and the need to set error expectations to build trust. Tune in to hear about his research on planning for adversity in the NFL.

President Donald Trump's promised tariffs have become a reality: This week, he announced a 10% tariff on all imported goods as well as “reciprocal tariffs” on specific countries. Economists and business owners across the globe are stunned at how high these taxes will be, and that reaction is also playing out in the St. Louis region. Shayn Prapaisilp, COO of Global Foods Group, told St. Louis on the Air that he expected high levies on products from some countries, but was “shocked” by other reciprocal tariffs. Prapaisilp shares his perspective on navigating Trump's tariffs, the lack of local options for specialty food items, and the challenge of keeping his customers happy as prices rise.

Missy Vraney and Kristin Westphal didn't go to Marquette University. Neither did any of their relatives. Yet their family tradition of attending Marquette Golden Eagles basketball games spans generations. They're still supporting the school regularly—just in beer money rather than tuition fees. It happens every time they buy a Marquette Golden Ale before heading to the Fiserv Forum stands. This marks the first season since Marquette entered a partnership with Milwaukee-based Third Space Brewing to sell Marquette Golden Ale—the school's officially licensed and co-branded craft beer—at Golden Eagles sporting events, as well as in Third Space outlets and area groceries. As part of the deal, 15% of the revenues go back to Marquette. "People are extremely excited about it," said Andy Gehl, the co-founder and president of Third Space Brewing. "People love drinking beer with their favorite school, their favorite sports team's logo on it. That's No. 1. Also, they want to support businesses that support their university, and vice versa." This has become the latest fund-raising trend for college athletics. Learfield, which manages sports sponsorships for over 160 universities and licensing agreements for nearly 800 colleges, says that 93 of its schools had licensing deals for alcoholic beverages for the first six months of the current fiscal year. That's a 57.6% rise from fiscal year 2023, when 59 schools had deals for their own signature alcoholic beverage. The number of Learfield schools with licensing deals specifically with craft beers has more than doubled in that time—from 16 in 2023 to 36 this year. Cory Moss, Learfield's president of brand management and marketing, acknowledges he would have been surprised by this kind of growth four or five years ago. Then, he started noticing more interest from the schools themselves and from various local craft breweries wanting to establish partnerships. "When schools got really behind it and the craft industry really started to take it seriously, that's when it really started to grow," Moss said. It represents a major change in the college sports landscape, considering how many schools weren't even selling alcoholic beverages at their athletic events not so long ago.

Food insecurity and food apartheid are a common challenge in many low-income and minority neighborhoods across the United States.  Big supermarket companies avoid those areas because stores are unprofitable and small stores find that they make the most money on junk foods, sodas and liquor.  Saba Grocers is an Oakland-based organization, founded in 2019, that works with those small stores to enable them to sell fresh produce sourced from minority farmers across the region.  Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with Lina Ghanem, director and co-founder of the Saba Grocers Initiative in Oakland.

Food writer Khushbu Shah and chef Edy Massih each released their first cookbooks this spring. Both works are part of a new generation of cookbooks that take inspiration from specific cuisines without being beholden to them. These books aren't about preservation — they're a reflection of their authors' specific experiences. Which is why Khushbu and Edy may not do it the way your grandmother does it. They join Dan live on stage at Cookbook Fest in Napa to reflect on what they learned writing their first cookbooks, the perils of choosing which salt to use in recipes, and what happens when you decide to pick a fight with the publisher. Khushbu's book is called Amrikan: 125 Recipes from the Indian American Diaspora and Edy's book is Keep It Zesty: A Celebration of Lebanese Flavors and Culture from Edy's Grocer.
