Episode Synopsis

Now that the tequila craze has crested, the latest Latin liquor to capture the world’s alcoholic imagination is tequila’s grandfather: mezcal. But an explosion of authentic mezcal is impossible—for reasons our correspondent discovers when she goes to Oaxaca to learn how this hyper-local spirit can be sustained."Mezcal's Dance with Extinction" originally appeared in Craftsmanship Quarterly, a multimedia, online magazine about artisans, innovators, and the architecture of excellence. You'll find many more stories, videos,  audio recordings, and other resources on our site — all free of charge and free of advertising.Written by GRACE RUBENSTEINIntroduction by CHRIS EGUSANarrated by GRACE RUBENSTEINProduced by CHRIS EGUSAMusic by MIKE SNOWDEN / BLUE DOT SESSIONS
