Crust Issues is a deeply researched baking podcast about bread, resilience, and everything in between. Hosted by Ryan Nausieda, each episode explores the art and science of baking—from sourdough starters to artisan techniques—with warmth, humor, and insight. We dig into the chemistry of flour, water, salt, and yeast, interview bakers, farmers, and food scientists, and share stories of imperfect triumphs in the kitchen. Whether you’re a home baker, sourdough fanatic, or just love a good story about rising after falling (literally and figuratively), this podcast offers a fresh take on what it means to keep going. Because sometimes, the best bakes—and the best lives—come from the biggest messes.
