Take a Bao is a podcast exploring the sweet, savory, spicy, salacious food & flavors across Asia. Each episode explores how the different cultures and communities across Asia shaped—and continues to shape—food and culture. From sniffing out the funkiest durians to lauding the importance of heirloom rice in the tropical rainforest, the show aims to give voice to the intriguing food stories of Asia. From speaking to chefs, farmers, food writers, and anthropologists, the show engages the senses, guiding us through cooking and eating iconic Asian dishes, and really celebrates the food of Asia to give it the representation it deserves, letting it have its moment to—wait for it—take a bow!
