339: A Good Drink: In Search of Sustainable Spirits—w/ Shanna Farrell, author

from Reversing Climate Change · host Ross Kenyon

For fans ages 21 and up!It's often hard to know how sustainable or ethical an alcoholic drink is. Very little disclosure is required on most labels, and many of the recipes are proprietary. What is a conscientious drinker to do?Shanna Farrell wrote A Good Drink: In Search of Sustainable Spirits in order to answer this exact question.She and host Ross Kenyon discuss the strange world of amaros (or "amari" if you're really going for it!), whiskey, agave, and gin, and try to figure out how to even begin approaching this difficult consumptive choice.N.B. If you really want to nerd out on amaro taxonomy, Brad Thomas Parsons's books on amaro and bitters are both quite useful; linked below.Resources⁠Become a paid subscriber of Reversing Climate ChangeA Good Drink: In Search of Sustainable Spirits by Shanna FarrellShanna Farrell's websiteAmaro: The Spirited World of Bittersweet, Herbal Liqueurs by Brad Thomas ParsonsCrushed: How A Changing Climate Is Altering the Way We Drink by Brian FreedmanFollow the Reversing Climate Change podcast on LinkedIn

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
