Salinity Presents: A Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

[This is part one of a two part interview]

In this episode, Emily speaks to Rowan Jacobsen, an author and journalist whose books have shaped how people think about food, nature, and the places they come from. We discuss what first drew Rowan to oysters and writing, his expedition to document a remote population of native Olympia oysters with the book The Living Shore, and some of the wilder moments from his reporting career, including an unplanned encounter with a black bear and a close pass from a sperm whale. We also cover his books on the BP oil spill, American food traditions, the future of bees, the diversity of apples... tune in next week for more from Rowan Jacobsen, and every week after that for more conversations with friends of Salinity Seafood & More!
