About the show

AnthroDish is a podcast that explores the powerful relationships between between food, culture, and identity through the lens of anthropology. Hosted by anthropologist Dr. Sarah Duignan, each episode explores the stories behind what we eat and drink, reflecting larger social, political, and historical systems. Featuring conversations with chefs, scholars, writers, and food experts, each episode blends current issues with anthropological ideas to highlight how food shapes (and is shaped by) the world around us. AnthroDish invites you to look at food not only as nourishment, but as a window into our ever-shifting world.
