Help yourself. There’s plenty more inside.

  1. Here’s something bizarre: a chef celebrated for his cooking.
  2. How India’s leadership promotes malnutrition and stunting. I wonder whether this new nutrition thing has a solution.
  3. Extra helpings of food price data, stunningly visualized
  4. You know David Simon, the man who wrote The Wire. But do you know what he remembers about food and his family?
  5. This one’s been around, and not surprisingly. The fabled flatbreads of Uzbekistan

About Eat This Podcast

Eat This Podcast has been going since March 2013. That’s a long time in podcast world. In that time, it has twice been nominated for a James Beard Award, although it remains a labour of love rather than a search for glory.

I am a biologist with a keen interest in food and agriculture. Eat This Podcast allows me to pursue my interests and share what I find.

I owe an immense debt of gratitude to all the guests who agree to be on the show, to the professional broadcasters who trained me, and to the software that allows me to do all this myself.
