The next 4 episodes will feature Rufina Garay, the host of the new FoodLove podcast!
We hadn't talked to each other since we casually played volleyball at Amherst College in 1992!
Therefore, 30 years later, we had a lot of catching up to do!
We talked for over 2 hours!
Instead of airing it as one mega-long podcast, I've broken it up into 4 segments of about 30 minutes each.
Here are the timestamps for Part 1 of 5. Click on them to jump to that section.
If you like timestamps, tell me!
00:00 Intro
06:00 Eating stuff you don't want to eat
13:00 Why Rufina is an omnivore
15:00 Flax seeds
16:30: Ads
18:45 What would you never eat again?
22:00 Are Some Cuisines Objectively Better Than Others?

I answer 3 listener questions.
You can also watch it on YouTube.
1. What are my book recommendations?
I mention:
- Any book by Bill Bryson. I enjoyed his latest, The Body.
- Robert Zubrin, A Case for Space
- Gates of Fire:: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae
2. How do you train for your mountain climbing?
3. Why did Eswatini change its name?
BTW, I will be doing more and more short episodes.
Occasionally, I will have 1+ hour episode, but it seems people love episodes under 20 minutes.
