Hey everybody, just a quick announcement.

Over the next two days you'll be hearing from a new producer.

You'll be hearing two stories from Andres O'Hara.

Andres is the and surprise, he's looking into the world of food smuggling.

And specifically today, on the Border Patrol agents whose job it is to stop banned food from

getting into the country. I imagine that some of you out there have probably once

or twice brought in something, you know, just a little special piece of cheese or some

delicious spice that maybe you weren't supposed to have.

So we're going to hear about that today.

But of course, Border Patrol has to deal with a lot more than just food.

So tomorrow, Andres is going to look at what happens. Border Patrol has to deal with a lot more than just food.

So tomorrow, Andres is going to look at what happens when people try to bring living creatures

into the US and what happens when they begin to spread.

If you like these episodes and are looking for more surprising food stories,

you should check out the Sporkful.

And they just released a new show called Deep Dish

with Sola and Ham El Wealy. And in Deep Dish, Sola and Ham,

look at the surprising history of foods like bagels and tacos

and tacos El Pastor. These stories are always about a lot more than just food.

You hear about a rogue labor union that battles with the mob, you hear about a police

detective who changes his life after a grisly accident and much, much more.

You can find all of that on the Sporkful Podcast.
