A Curious Appetite with Dr Alessandra Pino

A podcast exploring gothic food, horror, and the culture of consumption.In A Curious Appetite, Dr Alessandra Pino examines food not simply as something we consume, but as something that consumes us — shaping memory, identity, longing, and fear. From Gothic feasts to migrant kitchens, from childhood nostalgia to culinary reinvention, each episode traces the stories that linger at the table. Through conversation, the podcast asks what happens when appetite becomes a language for belonging, transformation, power, and desire.
