1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Hello, I'm Annie Reeves and I'm Lauren vocal Baum, and

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: we have some news for you in trepid listeners. Our

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: show Food Stuff, all about the science, history, and culture

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: of food and drink, is relaunching as Savor. That's right,

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: We along with our superproducer Dylan Fagan, are hitting the

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: road to find the stories behind all the things we

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: like to eat and drink. We will be talking to

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: the culinary creators and eaters of the world to get

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: to the bottom of why we like what we like

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: and how we can find more of those things. On

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: our first trip, we went to Asheville, North Carolina, a

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: city that pulled itself out of a seventy year economic

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: depression with beer and food. When I grew up in Ashville,

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: this was not the place to be. It was a

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: place your mom told you that you hadn't lost anything

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: you didn't need to go back to find. We spoke

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: to beers, chefs, distillers, farmers, foragers, historians and journalists who've

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: all been a part of this turnaround. We'll be talking

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: about a lot of stuff, the medieval techniques going into

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: some they're most talked about new beers and booze. How tuberculosis. Yes,

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: tuberculosis helped cement Asheville as a tourist town. Some of

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: the things made possible and or delicious by bacteria and yeast, poope, chocolate,

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: the aforementioned beer and booze. There is power and beer

24
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: because it collects people, and people are happy about it

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: and they love to contribute to things. So while you're

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: doing a beer, if you can do another great thing,

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: it just elevates everything. Also, what eating local really means,

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: That's what our passion is is to have capture this place, water, insects, wind,

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: and the factors that created intense racial and gender disparities

30
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: in the food and beverage industries and that are still

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: being addressed. And the good dogs. We saw a lot

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: of good dogs. New episodes will be coming out as

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,120
