Published September 2, 2026 at 1:29 PM MDT

Chef and author Joseph Ogilvy explores the tangled human and ecological history of food and his new book, "Tin Can Coast: A History of Industry, Greed, and Fishing in the Golden State."

Literary and cultural studies scholar Solvejg Nitzke explores the weirdly wonderful world of ferns—ancient plants that outlived the dinosaurs, sparked a Victorian obsession and continue to captivate us today.
