The Sweet Paradox: Ice Cream and Diabetes

For this special bonus episode, we share a story from the Points North podcast about blue moon ice cream—it's a wacky, surprisingly delicious and very blue ice cream flavor beloved in the Midwest. But no one knows what the flavor actually is, and ice cream makers are notoriously secretive about it. We hear about Morgan Springer's quest to find out more. Plus, we share a few of our all-time favorite ice cream stories: Journalist David Johns investigates whether ice cream could actually be good for you; we talk with Saturated Ice Cream founder Lokelani Alabanza, who invents new flavors from peanuts and Coke to Nashville hot chicken; and we make charred pineapple and honey ice cream.
