Decoder Ring | Cozy Autumn Mysteries - What Next | Daily News and Analysis
Description
While the What Next team works their way from preparing
food to sleeping it off, enjoy this episode on fall’s flavorful favorites from
our friends at Decoder Ring. We’ll be back to regular programming on Sunday.
Autumn may have more cozy signifiers than any other
season—though we all have our own favorites. Maybe for you it’s sweater
weather, football games, spooky season, apple picking, leaf peeping, or
mainlining candy corn. Whatever it is, in today’s episode we’re looking closely at three of these autumnal staples.
First, we get to the bottom of a recurring complaint about the taste of the pumpkin spice latte. Then we gaze deep inside the enigma hiding inside colorful fall leaves. Finally we ask some hard-hitting questions about the seasonal availability of an elusive cookie. Snuggle up and enjoy!
In this episode, you’ll hear from author and podcaster Don Martin who has a new audiobook out about loneliness called Where Did Everybody Go?. We also speak with Simcha Lev-Yadun, professor of botany and
archeology; Susanne Renner, botanist and honorary professor of
biology at Washington University in St. Louis; and Prospect Park Alliance arborist Malcolm Gore. And you’ll also hear from Lauren Tarr, who runs the blog Midlife Moxie and Muscle, and her mother Grace Dewey, along with Caroline Suppiger, brand manager at Mondelēz.
We’d also like to thank Brian Gallagher, Tom Arnold, Sylvie
Russo, and Laura Robinson.
This episode was produced by Katie Shepherd. Decoder Ring
is also produced by Willa Paskin, Max Freedman, and Evan Chung, our supervising producer. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director.
