Episode Overview

When it comes to the mission of Pod Save Chocolate, discussions of market forces and factors that have the potential to disrupt the chocolate supply chain from the farm to the factory to the consumer make their way to the top of the list.

Discussions of some of those market forces and factors are the subjects of today’s episode. Today’s topics have been grouped into three buckets – those that will be disruptive, those that might be disruptive, and those that will likely not be disruptive.

As always, we’ll be fielding comments and questions during the livestream and in the comments before and after the episode airs. Have something you want to contribute? Let us know!
