CRAFTED
Gelato: Alberto & Julia Bati of My Sugar Gelato Artigianale, Firenze, Italia
Ep. 14
•
This past June, Jonathan Ellsworth stumbled across a gelateria in Firenze (Florence) Italy, that basically changed his life. Because after going there every day — usually twice a day — he knew that he would have to come back to Florence and sit down for a CRAFTED conversation with Alberto and Julia Bati, owners of My Sugar Gelato Artigianale, to talk about the craft (and the hard work) of making some of the best gelato in the world. Here is that conversation, fresh from Florence.

57. The Current State of Alcohol, with Eli Brown
01:09:28||Ep. 57Jonathan Ellsworth talks about this very big topic with someone who is in quite a unique position to have this conversation with: Eli Brown, a 26-year-old sommelier who is also certified in mixology and distilled spirits, he has been named a Top 100 Bartender in the U.S., and he is currently working on a project involving N/A and low ABV beer and spirits and wine.Jonathan Ellsworth and Eli Brown delve into the changing landscape of alcohol consumption among younger generations; the trends — and hurdles — of non-alcoholic (NA) and low ABV cocktails; the complexities of wine and the practices of the wine industry that may be acting as a deterrence; the implications of the US Surgeon General's recommendations on alcohol consumption; and predictions for future trends in the craft beverage industry.RELATED LINKS:Blister Craft CollectiveTOPICS & TIMES:Eli’s Background & Credentials (1:34)The Current State of Alcohol (10:10)US Surgeon General’s Warning (40:16)Blister Craft collective (53:49)White Wines (1:01:55)Predictions: Which Spirits Will Rise & Fall?

01:22:03||Ep. 56Today, you are going to hear what is essentially an ongoing conversation that Jonathan has been having for about 30 years now with one of his best friends, Matthew Halteman, about food, food systems, sustainability, fine dining, and the ethics of what we eat.Matt is a foodie, a father, a fellow in the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, and a philosophy professor at Calvin University (he received his PhD in philosophy at Notre Dame). Matt is also a brilliant writer, and among other things we’re talking about today is his new book, Hungry, Beautiful Animals.Eating food is, of course, one of the most fundamental activities of human experience, yet many of us could probably stand to further examine our own principles and practices when it comes to food systems, what we eat, and the significance, ethics, and aesthetics of eating. So that is a bit of what Jonathan and Matt are going to be diving into here.RELATED LINKS:Read Hungry, Beautiful AnimalsListen to Hungry, Beautiful Animals on SpotifyFor More re: Nutrition: nutritionfacts.orgTOPICS & TIMES:What We’re Talking about Today & Why (0:00)Food & Current Food Production (4:11)Matt’s Background in Food Systems (12:41)How Transformation Actually Happens (24:41)Vegan Fine Dining?

Studio Shed w/ Mike Koenig
01:00:49||Ep. 53Studio Shed was started in the Boulder, Colorado backyard of their co-founder Jeremy Nova, a pro mountain biker and Olympian. Jeremy needed a place to store all his bikes and was uninspired by what was available, so he built his own. Today, Studio Sheds are still built in Colorado, and their portfolio now includes studios, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and commercial spaces. Jeremy built that first shed back in 2008, yet today, many of Studio Shed’s designs still look just like the original. Sheds and ADUs are a great way to provide extra room for outdoor gear, remote work offices, or additional living spaces. In today’s conversation, we sit down with Studio Shed’s co-founder Mike Koenig to discuss their unique approach to designing and building prefabricated backyard structures that are well-built, eco-friendly, and stylish.RELATED LINKS:Check out the Blister Craft CollectiveBecome a BLISTER+ MemberStudio Shed website: https://www.studio-shed.com/TOPICS & TIMES:Riding Bikes and Founding a Company (0:46)Tokyo Joe's MTB Team (3:51)Jeremy’s Homemade Shed (6:24)Panelized Construction (10:25)The Studio Shed Design Process & Steps to Purchasing a Studio Shed (21:58)How to DIY Build a Studio Shed (29:40)Eco-friendly Designs (36:20)Mike’s Bike (51:46)SEE OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicBikes & Big IdeasGEAR:30Blister Podcast52.
