Welcome to a fascinating conversation about taste - where it comes from, how we discover it and how we enjoy it. 

My guest is Jehanne Dubrow, a published poet, Professor of Creative Writing at the University of North Texas and author of a new creative nonfiction book called ‘Taste: A Book of Small Bites’ coming out in August.  

We discuss the five flavors: bitter, sweet, sour, savory, and guess the fifth one! 

I recommend reading ‘Taste’ to all the people in food industry - chefs, servers, bar tenders, because readying this book will help you sell more food!

My guest today is Robert Evans, a Journalist, War Correspondent, Podcast Host, Author, Activist and I’m hoping an optimist. 

He is here to discuss his novel “After The Revolution”, which is a fictional, bordering on non-fictional, story set in 2070 Texas, 20 years after an American Civil War. As I hear, there may be a sequel on the way as well. 

I’ve personally only scratched the surface of the novel so let's learn about it together. We’re also going to learn a bit about Robert, his career that led to writing this book, dive into the book itself to give you a taste, and talk about the accompanying podcast of the same name. And as always we'll parade around any other topics that come up.

Deep in the Heart (2022) is a visually stunning portrait of Texas, told through the eyes of the wildlife species themselves. Narrated by Texas icon Matthew McConaughey and featuring state of the art cinematography, this documentary brings to life one of the world's most diverse, but possibly lesser known set of ecosystems.

Similar in style to Planet Earth, the film shows off some of the most remarkable wildlife spectacles and eco regions in the state of Texas, weaving in the story of our society's relationship with wildlife in Texas over the past 150 years.

Award winning filmmakers Ben Masters and Katy Baldock join us to celebrate the diverse landscapes and remarkable wildlife of the Lone Star State. Joining us as well to co-host this conversation is Matthew Sherwood, host of the Factual America podcast which explores American experience through the lens of documentary filmmaking.
