In this podcast (actually #37--ignore the fact that I said Podcast #36), we compare six preludes in three keys: C Major, A Minor, and G Major. I begin the podcast, though, by telling you what's happening in the wonderful world of chocolate. The exciting news is that David is going to Paris to be part of the Ivoirian booth! And I'm going to Paris to see him and to talk to others in the Ivoirian booth as well as other chocolate makers from around the world. The second news is that we need to raise money to buy SOCOPLAN which David is the CEO of a new melangeur, as the old one which we bought 2 years ago needs some new parts. But we can't be content to sit still. David is becoming known throughout Côte d'Ivoire for his chocolate. And the nice thing is I taught him how to make chocolate back in 2013. So in 9 years, he's become known in his own country and we are making real progress toward making cocoa farmers expert chocolate makers. This reverses the colonial trend of treating Africans like victims, supplying raw product and depriving them of the knowledge with which they can pull themselves out of the commodity trap. Please consider donating to help us buy a new machine. We can either buy another one of similar size, which requires $11,000 or we can quadruple production for $22,000. So, we quadruple for double the price. Not a bad deal.
