Each month, MSG takes on a curious food topic and breaks down the history, science, and stories behind it. In this podcast, Sarah Lohman of Four Pounds Flour will give you a run-down of vegetarianism in the west. From Benjamin Franklin’s ”Tow-fu” to Dr. Kellogg’s commercial “Protose,” we’ll explore just how long we’ve been eating things that masquerade as meat.
Soma will be taking charge of all your favorite modern imitation meats, exploring the many faces of soy and revealing the not-so-secret fungi factories that power your favorite frauds. We’ll take a look at crafting mock duck and tempeh at home, as well as where to shop if your culinary prowess fails.
And if you live in the New York City area, come on out to see MSG LIVE at Public Assembly in Williamsburg on Tuesday, January 29th.
After clicking around, I finally found the main site for the podcasts, but it looks like there’s no way to actually subscribe to a feed to download the audio for playback on offline devices…
Is there an RSS feed for the audio, or is it “listen via Adobe Flash while online, only”?
There are a few options! You can download it on the soundcloud site. There’s an arrow that points downwards, that’s what you click: https://soundcloud.com/msgpodcast/masters-of-social-gastronomy
