127! Local Sourcing and Fill-In-The-Blank Summer

What is our responsibility as consumers and brands to source products locally and support local economies? And what's the theme of this summer? [33:30]

This week, special guest Fabian Castro joins Joey and Jess to talk about how volume and demand affect supporting local, being a responsible tourist/consumer, monocultures, Chet Hanks, pandemic-influenced summer expectations, and liminal spaces. They don’t talk about how to source local porpoise corpses (or how hard it is to say that five times fast).
