She sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about making absinthe in Texas, what it's like to try and recreate one of the most famous cordials ever, and what she and her partner are doing on a farm they've set up in Texas's hill country.PLUS, congress recently closed a farm bill loophole that could have massive implications for the THC beverage industry. Greg breaks down what's happening, and why, on this particular issue, he actually agrees with Ted Cruz.Follow Jess & Violet Crown at @violetcrownspiritsLINKSBecome a Regular: patreon.com/SpeakeasyRegularsPre-order Monk Parakeet: violetcrownspirits.com/buy-online/For resources on dealing with ICE agents in your community visit nouswithoutyou.la/ and @thenycallianceThe Sauced Kickstarter: kickstarter.com/projects/timmckirdy/sauced-the-podcastThe Speakeasy is now on YouTube!

Our guest is Andrew Tsui who is the founder and president of The Ike Jime Federation https://ikejimefederation.com/ based in Maryland. Ikejime is a unique, traditional Japanese technique to treat fish right after it is caught. Ikejime dramatically reduces fish's suffering and extends its freshness. The results are much better taste and flavor, as well as less waste of fish. Ikejime is not known enough outside of Japan, but Andrew is passionately trying to educate commercial and recreational anglers about the awesome technique. In this episode, we will discuss how exactly Ikejime is done, what types of fish are suited to the Ikejime treatment, the difference between Ikejime and Shinkeijime, how you can learn the Ikejime technique and be certified by Andrew's Ike Jime Federation and much, much more!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What are people doing to keep this storied category innovative. And did the industry really make progress towards equity with the MeToo movement? Or did it just look like it did? Angela weighs in on what it's like to be a woman in what can often be the boys club of rye and bourbonPLUS it's our first show of October and you know what that means.
