54 - John Steinbeck's Cannery Row Examined

What's that you say? Didn't read Steinbeck in high school? Well then welcome to the safe space of Cannery Row, where one is not judged by achievements or accolades, but by the innate goodness found deep within.   Ahhhh, just kidding, this one's more about having a rollickin' good time gettin' into fights with fishermen, getting thrown into (and buying your way out of) jail, and sharing a snort here and there of the best kind of liquor known to man: free.   Join Nick, Nathan, and David as they discuss the joys of this classic romp — as well as its overwhelming sadness and loneliness — and try to figure out just where or when in American history this might have occurred. At the very least, you'll leave with some of the warmth to be found in the things that make us human and/or some weird ass gastronomical ideas.
