Gastropod

The science and history hiding inside every bite you take. Gastropod investigates why food tastes the way it does, how ancient trade routes shaped your dinner plate, and what happens to your brain when you eat something delicious. Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley bring genuine journalistic rigor to topics like the invention of the restaurant or why cilantro tastes like soap to some people. Each episode feels like a mini documentary that happens to make you hungry. Smart food content that never talks down to you.
