Freakonomics Radio: Waiter, There’s a Physicist In My Soup, Part I

Our latest Freakonomics Radio podcast (you can download/subscribe at iTunes, get the RSS feed, listen live via the link in box at right or read a transcript here) is called "Waiter, There's a Physicist in My Soup." It's the first segment of a two-parter about food and food science; it's also about why we eat what we eat, and how that may change in the future. The first episode takes a look at the "molecular gastronomy" movement, which gets a big bump in visibility next month with the publication of a mammoth cookbook called Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking. Its principal author is Nathan Myhrvold, the former chief technology officer of Microsoft who now runs an invention company called Intellectual Ventures.
