    Don't we all love masala? - feat @KrishAshok

    Here's an episode that was recorded over 2 years ago but never made the pod. Blame it on a corrupt disk but thanks to the magic of Google drive, we discovered a backup and were able to get this out! On this episode Max is joined by all-in-all superstar @krishashok as they talk about his(then newly released) book and deconstruct their favorite masalas.

    What's behind your packages? - feat @Upgrade_My_Food

    In this episode, Max is joined by Swetha Sivakumar from @upgrade_my_food as they take a peek into the labels at the back of packages. While the Front of the Package(FOP) can have a lot of marketing spiel, the label at the back often speaks the truth. There's a ton of misinformation floating around by influencers that deem anything that isn't commonly available as bad. While that isn't always the case, we take a look at preservatives, emulsifiers, fats & other additives that are necessary and not harmful versus ones you should try to avoid. Sit back, with a notepad or burn into your memory so that the next time you're at the grocery store, you know what to look for.

In this episode Ajit joins Max as they talk about the worlds favorite beverage, Tea! All the way from the origins to how it took entire nations in its grip and how its cultivated and industrialized today.
