#1423 Michael Olson host Virginia Shaffer, Host of Lady Oyster Blog and Author, Oyster Society: Adventures with the Shellfishly Motivated

I remember the moment I was induced to slurp down a freshly-shucked oyster.  That so many of us remember that moment leads us to ask:   

What is it about the oyster that leads us to become its cultists?

Topics include a look at the history of the U.S. oyster business; a “taste” of different oyster varieties; and how the oyster spawned its cult of people.
