Author: Goa.me July 1, 2020 Duration: 1:02:05

In this episode, we explore none other than the King of Fruit itself - the Great Goan Mango!

Join us for a conversation with our dear friend & Zodo Woodfire chef, Ryan Semelhago as we set out to uncover the story behind some of Goa's sweetest mangos. A documentation of a lifelong relationship with mangoes that begins under the shade of the Hillario mango tree at Ryan's maternal grandparents house. An enlightening encounter with Rajesh, a professional mango plucker with his team of expert climbers and a warehouse full of mangoes. A visit to the renowned Cardozo Malcurad tree in Mapusa, an interview with Nester Rangel, the agriculturist who has taken it upon himself to market this unique variety of the Malcurad Mango to the people of Goa and so much more!

As mentioned, you can learn more about Ryan's explorations in Goan cuisine on his Instagram @revryansemelhago & @zodo.woodfire as well as his Mango Stories Volume 01 & Volume 02 here!

The sound of the sea is a constant rhythm here, but the real heartbeat of Goa comes from its people. This monthly podcast from the team behind Goa.me moves beyond the postcard imagery to find the stories woven into the fabric of everyday life. Each episode is a quiet exploration, a conversation held on a veranda or a walk through a market, listening to the fishermen, artists, shopkeepers, and families who call this place home. You’ll hear the subtle shifts in tradition, the personal histories behind a beloved recipe, and the quiet challenges that exist alongside the celebrated beauty. Hosted by the creators of Goa's largest online community, the Goa podcast draws from a deep well of connection and curiosity. It’s less about documenting a destination and more about understanding a living culture through the voices that sustain it. The result is an intimate, unfolding portrait-a collection of authentic encounters that together reveal the complex and captivating soul of a region often simplified. Tune in for these regular, thoughtful dispatches from the ground, where every conversation adds another layer to the story.
