~~ Charc’ Tank ~~

Join Gil and Eben at the Charc’ Tank where we talk meat!

Don’t expect an academic discussion. Informally we talk about that which we love: meat! Also, don’t expect us to stick strictly to a point by point script or even to any particular subject even though we broadly thread every discussion around a central theme.

What we strive for is interesting and highly relevant content!

The latest podcasts are featured below.
