America’s top food podcast is coming to the UK! Join James Beard and Webby Award winning host Dan Pashman for a live taping of The Sporkful, which Dan says is not for foodies, it’s for eaters.

The show uses humour and humanity to approach food from many angles, covering science, history, identity, culture, economics, and optimal methods for sandwich construction. Past Sporkful guests include Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, and Nadiya Hussain, plus entertainers ranging from Weird Al to Kumail Nanjiani to Bill Nye the Science Guy.

In 2021, Dan launched the new pasta shape cascatelli, which Time Magazine named one of the Best Inventions of the Year. The story of Dan’s three year quest to create cascatelli was told in The Sporkful podcast’s Mission: ImPASTAble series, which the New York Times named one of the 10 Best Podcasts of 2021. In 2024 Dan released his first cookbook, Anything’s Pastable, which is a national bestseller in the US and comes out in the UK on July 4.

The special guest for this podcast will be Ed Gamble.

The podcast will last up to 90 minutes, without an interval.
