Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Smell This. How the food industry uses olfactory marketing to shape consumer desire, and why awareness is itself an act of resistance, with Elena Mancioppi.
Q: And what would you actually want people to do differently after listening to this podcast?
Elena suggests cultivating a habit of noticing smells in everyday spaces, questioning who benefits from designed atmospheres, and developing a critical awareness of how aromas influence choices, ultimately promoting greater responsibility and social justice in relation to air quality and food systems.
You Are What You Stream: How television, cinema and streaming platforms shape food cultures at scale. With Luca Antoniazzi
Q: What role do policy and regulation play in shaping food representations in media?
Policy can curb unhealthy advertising to children and influence national branding through gastronationalism, but media power remains concentrated among a handful of global platforms, affecting how food is framed and consumed.
You Are What You Stream: How television, cinema and streaming platforms shape food cultures at scale. With Luca Antoniazzi
Q: Is media marketing fair when it comes to sustainable food brands, and how do stereotypes factor into this?
Stereotypes are used because they are easily understood and quickly communicated, but they can be manipulative, linking healthy eating to idealized bodies and lifestyle claims, which can mislead consumers even as it promotes certain products.
You Are What You Stream: How television, cinema and streaming platforms shape food cultures at scale. With Luca Antoniazzi
Q: How do streaming platforms shape food cultures at scale, and what controls the narrative of what good food looks like?
Luca explains that both the algorithmic recommendations and broader social, political, and economic contexts shape which food narratives gain prominence, with policy and branding playing crucial roles in defining national identities through food.
How Sweet Is Too Sweet? Sugar as a political and cultural substance with Maddalena Borsato.
Q: What is the risk of reducing sweetness to a single ingredient?
The guest notes that concentrating sweetness in one chemical like sucrose risks erasing its historical and cultural meanings, and emphasizes the need to balance sensory experience with social and ethical considerations.
