The Journey of Mexican Rice

Join Eva Longoria and Maite Gomez-Rejón as they pull up a chair to a conversation that’s equal parts kitchen table and classroom. Their podcast, Hungry for History, is a vibrant exploration where every dish has a deeper story. This isn't just about recipes; it's about the people, migrations, and traditions that shaped what's on our plates. You’ll hear Eva and Maite swap personal family stories that connect them to these foods, while digging into the surprising journeys of everyday ingredients. Their curiosity leads to conversations with chefs, historians, and all kinds of food enthusiasts, creating a rich tapestry of voices. Some episodes even take you on location, uncovering the hidden past of a beloved taco, tamale, or cocktail. The atmosphere is warm and engaging, often punctuated by the sounds of taste tests, the clink of glasses during a drink-making segment, and the sharing of culinary techniques. Produced by My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts, this series sits at the perfect intersection of heritage and flavor. Listening feels like being part of a lively, insightful gathering where culture is understood through taste, and history is served in generous, delicious portions. You’ll come away from each episode with a newfound appreciation for the narratives simmering in every pot and pantry.
