85. The Body of My Master
In this episode, we talk about capitalism: it is no measure of health to be well-adapted to a sick society. This week’s sparkling water is three flavors from Casamara Cub: Como, Onda and Sera. Como is inspired by Amaro from Northern Italty and Onda is inspired by Amaro from Sicily. So fancy! We couldn’t get sparkling water like this without capitalism though, that’s for sure.
