Introduction

This week we want to rebroadcast an episode from November that features my colleagues, Jason Jenkins and Alex KT Martin. It explores the idea of taking fallen trees and turning them into alcohol. The story goes that in 1916, which is already several hundred years since this tree has been planted, this milky fluid started to gurgle out of the tree. So the story goes about 36 liters of it gurgled out, apparently, before it stopped.
