Making a Meal of It is for eaters of all appetites who want to reimagine and reinvigorate their relationships with food, food culture, and food systems. Taking a deep dive into the ways we feed our bodies, psyches, and societies, the podcast helps make sense of the complexity that makes food so fascinating. Each episode unpacks a specific subject or theme, while host David Szanto—a professor, writer, and artist from Montréal, Québec—weaves in stories from his own diverse experience in food. Interviews with experts explore a range of themes, from food retailing to fatphobia, cocktails to fermentation. Wordplay and humor infuse tasting conversations with David’s semi-willing partner, Maxime, illustrating how each of us responds differently to smells, flavours, and textures. And a final segment featuring innovators in art, politics, and science rounds out the menu, as they respond to the Making a Meal of It “Food Questionnaire.” So sit down, grab a spoon, and dig into our most important and intimate relationship—food!
