Gastropod

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.

My fav pod! A rare combo of facts & entertainment
Feb 21
Gastropod is the perfect way to end my day when I can’t stop thinking and stressing and need an escape that captures my attention, entertains me, teaches me something while reflecting on history, and I always walk away with cool fun facts to share with others. It’s literally the perfect podcast for me. I listen on the daily, evening dog walk and/or in the sauna after my workouts. Time flies in the sauna when I would otherwise count the seconds if I were just listening to music or reading. A lot of times I’m still listening with EarPods when I get home and my husband is like ummm helloooo. I’m captivated. I think you get the gist. I can’t express the extent of my gratitude. You guys are highly knowledgeable/ facts-based and cool. Rare combo. Thank you for being you and hosting such a fricken cool pod.
