We invite food writer and coffee expert Oliver Strand—and our very own Michael Hoffman—into the studio to talk coffee. After we make sure we're caffeinated, we discuss specialty coffee, coffee snobbery, and cup some McCafe, just for fun.

At the age of 19, he started his own company that educates youth in programming and has also spent time working with the likes of Caltech, Spotify, Uber and will soon start working with Google. Oliver is also a big fan of meditation and is passionate about AI safety. In this episode we spoke about the learning and growth Oliver experienced from running his own company, the pros and cons of working at a start-up compared to a large firm, spending time productively, Effective Altruism, explore whether the future of AI will be good or bad for human development and the importance of being comfortable within yourself.

No heavy subject matter this week. Instead, we're diving into two subcultures that have been transformed by tech: Coffee and cigarettes. If you've never heard of a burr grinder or cartomizer, this podcast is for you.  What's disruptive in the world of coffee? For one thing, there's a boatload of new ways to make a cup of joe.  "The techniques are relatively new," says food writer Oliver Strand. "They're counter-intuitive. They're coming from unexpected places." Plus, WNYC's Ilya Marritz investigates the largely unregulated $2 billion e-cigarette industry. He introduces e-cig terminology: Vaping anyone? And explains where e-cigarettes fall on the good-for-you-or-bad-for-you spectrum.  

On today's THE FOOD SEEN, Michael Harlan Turkell hosts a special one-hour episode devoted to The Food Book Fair. Founder Elizabeth Thacker Jones will talk about all of the exciting additions to this year's lineup, as we're joined by a few of those guests in studio. Oliver Strand, a NYTimes coffee contributor, and Lars K. Huse of illustration and coffee, discuss their upcoming FBF Coffee Crawl . Melia Marden, chef/owner of The Smile, discusses her new cookbook, Modern Mediterranean. Christophe Hille, owner Northern Spy Food Co., will be on the FOOD + LABOR panel, touches on the “living wage” injustices of working in the restaurant industry.
