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, Democrats will not pay the Republican 'ransom note' to keep government open.

Then, on the rest of the menu, librarians turn to a civil rights agency to oppose book bans and their own firings; four Washington state elections offices were evacuated after workers processing ballots received envelopes containing suspicious powders, including two that field-tested positive for fentanyl; and, Mount St Helens recorded more than four hundred earthquakes since mid-July, and just like last time, seismologists say there are no signs of an imminent eruption.

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where Turkey’s highest court upheld a controversial media law that mandates prison terms for people deemed to be spreading “disinformation,” even when they are not; and, Russian authorities demanded an eight-year prison term for an artist and musician who was jailed after speaking out against Moscow’s war in Ukraine.














All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.

Bon Appétit!
