Smothered Benedict Wednesdays 11 Dec 24

Today’s West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Smothered Benedict Wednesdays, is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Louis DeJoy suffered a bipartisan Senate hearing beatdown. Then, on the rest of the menu, judges in Oregon and Washington separately blocked a $24.6 billion merger of Kroger and Albertsons; a federal bankruptcy judge rejected the sale of Infowars to satirical news website The Onion; and, US Biathlon officials ignored sexual harassment and abuse of women racers for decades.After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where tens of thousands of protesters demonstrated across North Macedonia to demand better air quality in cities that are among the most polluted in Europe; and, Ecuador’s government will stop rationing electricity nationwide, just before the holidays.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live Player​Keep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!“It may be safely averred that good cookery is the best and truest economy, turning to full account every wholesome article of food, and converting into palatable meals what the ignorant either render uneatable or throw away in disdain.” - Eliza Acton‘Modern Cookery for Private Families’ (1845)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.
