Enology Methodology (HOW TO DRINK WINE) with André Hueston Mack

To chill or not to chill? That is the question. And then a bunch more questions. Thankfully, author, winemaker, sommelier, and Enology expert, André Hueston Mack is on hand to explain Old World vs. New World wines, corks vs. caps, red, rosé, orange, and white wines, stemware, judging a wine by its label, the best glass of wine he’s ever tasted, needless snobbery, aeration, decanting, and what those legs are doing dancing around your glass. Also: how to open a bottle with no corkscrew. Next week: how to make wine.

Special Episode: Wall to Wall Secrets, Sorry!

Listen. Sometimes we like to shake it up. So while we’re finishing up next week’s episode, I decided to open a sound file and spilled only secrets. This was an exercise in just chilling with you, and not editing a thing. Think of it as my exposure therapy + life advice and embarrassing tales from me, your actual biological father from the internet. Is it too long? Too bad! Is it too boring? I don’t know! But in these uncertain times, it’s important to remember that showing up is what matters. I don’t know, probably.  A donation went to the Hand of Salvation Initiative [https://chuffed.org/project/hand-of-salvation] More episode sources and links Other episodes you may enjoy: Oikology (DECLUTTERING) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oikologyencore], Entomophagy Anthropology (EATING INSECTS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/entomophagy-anthropology], Disgustology (REPULSION) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/disgustology], Enigmatology (WORD GAMES) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/enigmatology], Political Sociology (VOTER TURNOUT & SUPPRESSION) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/politicalsociology] 400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic [https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic] Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes [https://pod.link/1746567248] Sponsors of Ologies [https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors] Transcripts and bleeped episodes [https://alieward.com/ologies-extras] Become a patron of Ologies [https://www.patreon.com/ologies] for as little as a buck a month OlogiesMerch.com [https://www.ologiesmerch.com/] has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!

Meleagrology (TURKEYS) with Cyler Conrad

Wattles. Snoods. Struts. Vibes. It’s not November, which is exactly why we’re putting this episode out. All day every day, turkeys are out there like beanbags with stick legs. Let’s take a moment, or 90 minutes, with Archaeologist, Meleagrologist, and turkey researcher,  Dr. Cyler Conrad. We’ll find out if they can fly, do they like to kiss, where did they get their audacity, turkeys versus my car door, if they can survive a rainstorm, the deep connections between Indigenous cultures and North American turkeys, creepy turkeys, alternative universes, if one can eat turkey eggs, where do they nest, what’s up with the wishbone and so many inconvenient facts that will have you questioning what you thought you knew about these so-called thunder chickens.  Follow Dr. Conrad on Google Scholar [https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=YSicePUAAAAJ&hl=en] A donation went to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center [https://indianpueblo.org/] More episode sources and links [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/meleagrology] Other episodes you may enjoy: Chickenology (HENS & ROOSTERS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/chickenology], Condorology (CONDORS & VULTURES) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/condorology], Ornithology (BIRDS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/2017/11/7/ornithology-with-james-maley], Food Anthropology (FEASTS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/food-anthropology], Indigenous Cuisinology (NATIVE COOKING) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/indigenouscuisinology], Plumology (FEATHERS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/plumology], Indigenous Pedology (SOIL SCIENCE) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/indigenouspedology], Oology (EGGS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oology], Experimental Archeology (OLD TOOLS/ATLATLS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/experimentalarcheology], Araneology (SPIDERS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/araneology] 400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic [https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic] Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes [https://pod.link/1746567248] Sponsors of Ologies [https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors] Transcripts and bleeped episodes [https://alieward.com/ologies-extras] Become a patron of Ologies [https://www.patreon.com/ologies] for as little as a buck a month OlogiesMerch.com [https://www.ologiesmerch.com/] has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!

Antarcticology (ANTARCTIC RESEARCH) with Ariel Waldman

Mile-thick ice. Dry, rocky valleys. Tiny creatures. Red parkas. Seal mummies. We’re going to Antarctica with National Geographic Explorer, microscopic photographer, and Antarcticologist Ariel Waldman. She hosts the gorgeous PBS series “Life Unearthed” and answers a blizzard of questions about camping in the middle of an ice sheet, hauling microscopes to the ends of the Earth, what’s living in a drop of melted snow, potty protocols, microplastics, and the research that happens on a giant continent that carries many mysteries.
