Episode 24: Kava Part 1

Episode 24: Kava Part 1
Dr. mere Tari Sovick and Mr. Kirk Huffman

Today, we are going to talk about what some like to refer to as the drink of the Gods or the gift of the Pacific to the world and of course by that, I mean KAVA. A plant of the Pacific that has been around for thousands of years and is of traditional significance to many of the peoples of the Pacific Islands. This is a 2 part episode - In this episode - I will take a dive into Kava from the eye of an anthropologist, with my good friend Mr. Kirk Huffman where he will reveal how he got to drink kava for the first time and some of the fascinating facts about kava. Joining him is my husband - Jason Sovick who will also share about his first time drinking kava as a way of socializing in a different country and culture especially for a young American Peace Corp volunteer just out of college.
