Frotcast Bonus: Yasha Levine on 'Pistachio Wars' (fixed) (Patreon)

I did a big write up for Defector recently about California water, wildfires, The Resnicks, Yasha Levine's 'Pistachio Wars,' and the Central Valley, where I grew up and live. I had a great long chat with Levine for the piece, and only a handful of quotes actually made it into the article. Luckily, through the magic of recording equipment, I actually saved the whole thing so that I could share it with you here. We talk about water rights, the Resnicks and how they got started (owners of The Wonderful Company; mostly pistachios and pomegranate juice), California's "terra forming" system, how the Iranian Revolution impacted the American pistachio market, and much, much more.

Make sure to listen to this and see 'Pistachio Wars' so that you can tell DemocRAT Gavin NewSCUM to stop hoarding all of Central California's beautiful water, and release it so we can all grow more delicious pistachios, which definitely taste better when good old fashioned Americans grow them instead of those evil Iranians.
