Hot Sauce, Human History, & Some Big Existential Questions
About this episode
The episode explores the history, science, and cultural significance of hot sauce while addressing larger existential questions about humanity.
Hot sauce — many of us love it, but few of us know how & why it came to be; how it works; how it could kill you and how it might save you; and why exploring these topics actually leads into some big questions about the evolution of humankind itself. Jonathan Ellsworth & Eli Brown discuss. We Want to Hear from You! Have a topic, craft category, or craft company you’d like to see us cover?
