#21 - "A MEAD-ing of the Minds" with Every Day is a Food Day

This is a crossover episode you MEAD to hear! Evan and Nick have joined forces with Anna Van Valin and Lia Ballentine from the food history and culture podcast “Every Day is a Food Day” to discuss (and DRINK) Mead! Evan and Nick tell us all about the world of making and drinking this ancient fermented honey drink at our Meadery in Flagstaff, AZ, the care and feeding of bees, and why it’s a better buzz for you and the planet. Then Anna tells us how every culture has a version of “honey wine” - from the Celts, to Ethiopia to the Ancient Mayan empire! - which meant that bees, honey and mead made some exceptional cameos in their mythology. Then Lia tells us about festivals and holidays, like National Mead Day, and how to celebrate. Listen to find out why we're all abuzz about mead in this special crossover episode!
