In a recent "Gravy" Podcast episode called “America’s Lost Peanut and the Price of Bringing it Back,” "Gravy" producer Otis Gray takes listeners on a journey through the history and revival of the Carolina African Runner Peanut. The episode is inspired by Sarah Lohman's book, and a chapter in the book featuring Tonya. Otis interviews Tonya and others in the podcast.

Hear short readings from "Endangered Eating," discussion with Sarah, Tonya and Otis, a Q&A, and book signings by Sarah.

Listen to segments from "Gravy" facilitated by Otis, plus a short discussion and audience Q&A.

The spirited storytelling and sipping part of the evening will be facilitated by Tonya Hopkins featuring a mezcal tasting with a little history and its connection to "Endangered Eating."
