The first absinthe ban came in Switzerland in 1908, and over the next few years, it was banned across Europe. But that doesn’t mean absinthe-making stopped. How Swiss women, hiding their creations in oil cans and vegetable tins, kept the tradition alive: open.spotify.com/episode/4YLxtw…

Today, absinthe can be found behind nearly every bar, despite the fact that countries around the world banned it for nearly a century. In our latest episode, why we have the Czech to thank for the modern-day absinthe revival. gastropod.com/absinthe-the-w…

This is honestly one of my favourite @gastropodcast episodes! A huge win by an inspiring coalition whose story can help us imagine how to do it again and continue the work of restoring at least some of what we've damaged podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bri…

This salmon is much more than a salmon: it’s the first step towards bringing fish back to what was the 3rd largest salmon river in the US—and restoring the food sovereignty & cultural richness this fish brings. This incredible success story in our latest: gastropod.com/bringing-salmo…

Salmon go through an incredible evolutionary glow-up, from little brown fish in fresh water to massive silver saltwater fish. We’ve got the science of this transformation in our latest ep—plus, how salmon biology helps them recolonize long-dammed rivers: open.spotify.com/episode/3GxHLh…

In the summer of 2002, something happened that changed the conversation around the Klamath River: the largest-ever die-off of adult salmon in the US. How this tragedy sparked a movement to undam the Klamath. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bri…

From Scotland to Omaha, Nebraska, the fight to undam the Klamath was a long & winding road. In our latest, how Indigenous tribes, fishermen & environmental activists made people in power listen—and how a bitter Republican-led Congress nearly sank the deal: gastropod.com/bringing-salmo…

Salmon don't just feed people and animals: they also feed ecosystems. For our newest episode on the return of salmon to the newly un-dammed Klamath river, Nicky and Cynthia explored the length of this beautiful river & met massive trees fed by these fish: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bri…

In September, Nicky and Cynthia visited the Klamath to see what it looks like when you free a river. The transformation since dam removal is amazing—but the work to make this river home for salmon again is just beginning. We’ve got the story in our new ep: open.spotify.com/episode/3GxHLh…

We shared the delicious experience of cooking (and eating!) salmon the Yurok way in our latest column for Eater — read on for the last salmon recipe you'll ever need!

Peppermint mocha might be a standard at every coffee shop these days, but there was a time when mint was so valuable it made three American entrepreneurs into “peppermint kings.” The story of the forgotten American mint monarchy in our latest episode: open.spotify.com/episode/5yGq0o…

What's the origin of ranch dressing? What did Europe’s oldest human mummy have in his stomach? And just in time for the holidays, why do we get “food comas” after a big meal? We answer these great listener questions in the newest Ask Gastropod: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why…

Ötzi the Iceman died in the Alps 5,300 years ago, but his final meal is still teaching us about his life—and death. In our newest episode, how this mummy’s stomach provides a window into past climates, human history, and a *very* cold case: Ötzi’s murder. open.spotify.com/episode/5RPLt5…

We all know the sluggish feeling after a big holiday meal. But why do “food comas” happen? Our latest Ask Gastropod has answers, including how eating can change test scores & what actual slugs tell us about the evolutionary importance of food comas: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why…

Ranch is a cultural phenomenon, showing up not only next to veggies, pizza & wings but on TV shows, in viral TikToks, and even in jeweled royal wedding-worthy bottles. In our new Ask Gastropod, ranch’s origins & how it became a de facto symbol of America: open.spotify.com/episode/5RPLt5…
