Food with a side of science and history. Every other week, co-hosts Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley serve up a brand new episode exploring the hidden history and surprising science behind a different food- or farming-related topic, from aquaculture to ancient feasts, from cutlery to chile peppers, and from microbes to Malbec. We interview experts, visit labs, fields, and archaeological digs, and generally have lots of fun while discovering new ways to think about and understand the world through food. Find us online at gastropod.com, follow us on Twitter @gastropodcast, and like us on Facebook at facebook.com/gastropodcast.
So deep meanings for understanding ourselves, our societies.
So many important facts to understand our food.
Amazing.
Perfect mix of history and science

The episode on sourdough blew my mind! I knew most of the science, but the way the story was told, how the facts were put together and then real-time research! Awesome! One of the best stories I heard in years! Thank you!!!
Perfect podcast meal

A great podcast that does not restrict itself to history, culture or science but instead does all of it! Whilst I'm not a great expert on science, I always feel well guided by the hosts and even as a professional historian I learn something new every episode! The production values are probably the best you can find in an independent podcast! A real gem of a show that deserves to be a lot more successful!
