West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Metro Shrimp & Grits Thursdays 30 Oct 25

Today’s West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Metro Shrimp & Grits Thursdays is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Trump got a very rude awakening at the end of his meeting with Xi Jinping as Russian bombs rained down on Ukraine.Then, on the rest of the menu, Trump’s pick for a top post at the US Export-Import Bank withdrew his nomination after facing scrutiny over his ties to Russian companies and the Kremlin; patients are going without needed treatment after the government shutdown disrupted an important telehealth program; and, after whining about Black sports figures caught in the sports betting scandal, Trump announced an online betting platform that allows bettors to place wagers on the outcomes of elections, sports games, and other events he’s involved in or controls.After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders’ far-right party and the centrist D66 are tied in the Dutch general election in an unprecedented neck-and-neck race to run the government; and, five more people were arrested overnight in the Louvre crown-jewels heist, signaling an accelerating dragnet across the French capital and its suburbs.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon AppétitThe Netroots Radio Live Player​Keep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!“Everyone in this good city enjoys the full right to pursue their own inclinations in all reasonable and, unreasonable ways.” -- The Daily Picayune, New Orleans, March 5, 1851Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.
