Back Bar - If You Can’t Take the Heat…

The City of Nashville gets hot. Really hot. So it makes sense that this is where the competition for the finals of USBG’s World Class Presented by Diageo would heat up. On this special episode of Back Bar, Greg dives into the history of this weird and wonderful southern city, its relationship with heat in all its many forms - including its chicken - and one incredible heated bartending competition. He also follows first time competitor Jessi Pollak as she prepares for the speed round, re-invents one of her grandmother’s classic recipes and even tries to summon the dead. (Spoiler alert: she takes home the gold!)

Bay Curious - The WWII Prison Camp in Pacifica That’s Been Largely Erased

Sharp Park in Pacifica was the site of a prison camp during World War II, where residents deemed "highly dangerous" were sent.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Diamonds Are Forever

It has been said that they are a girl’s best friend, they are forever, and that they are the hardest substance in the world. 

In nature, they are created deep beneath the Earth at extreme temperatures and pressures, yet in the laboratory, they can be created in a near-vacuum.

For all practical purposes, you can’t scratch it, yet you can cut it, and economists have noted the paradox of how it is priced compared to water. 

Learn more about diamonds, how they are made, and how they are used, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
