First hour: Is net neutrality dying?
Second hour: Summer of Food explores the identity of Finger Lakes food culture
Vox warns that "net neutrality is dying with a whimper." So remind us again: what exactly is net neutrality? How does it relate to internet freedom, download speeds, competition, and the public good? And why is Congress divided on such partisan lines over this issue? Our guests will explain:
Josephine Wolff, assistant professor in the Department of Public Policy, and member of the extended faculty in the Department of Computing Security at RIT
Jeremy Sarachan, Chair of the Media and Communication Department at St. John Fisher College
Then, when James Beard set out to write the definitive book on the American food scene, he didn't anticipate the book swelling to 600 pages and 450 recipes. But he was forced to confront some massive culinary questions, such as: Does the Sloppy Joe deserve a recipe in this book? Is that part of American food culture? Beard determined that yes, it was, and broken down by region, American food is diverse and sprawling. Today, he might have included Rochester's garbage plate. So what about the Finger Lakes? What is the food ethos and culture in our Finger Lakes region? The Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty is an organization that ties the agricultural scene together, and they have something to say about that. It's the Summer of Food, and our guests are:
Brud Holland, chef and president of FLCB
August Deimel, winemaker for Keuka Spring Winery
