OYSTER-ology

by Kevin Cox

OYSTER-ology is a podcast about all things Oysters, Aquaculture and everything from spat to shuck.  We dive into this watery world with those who know best – the people doing it everyday – and through lively, unfiltered conversations we learn their stories, challenges and opportunities. In each episode we’ll cover different aspects of oyster farming, restoration, ecology and, of course, eating. For those in the business it’s a chance to learn what others in today’s oyster industry are doing and make new contacts. And for the millions of eaters who love to slurp oysters or want to feel like experts at the raw bar -- this is the podcast for you!
