For the Culture is a podcast about how food shapes us - and how we shape food. Hosted by food writer Jess Ho, this six-part series explores how migration, memory, and the politics of the plate invite us to rethink what “Australian food” really is. Each episode questions the myth of authenticity and other fictions we feast on. Part cultural critique, part history lesson, and part food tour, the series brings together voices challenging how we see and taste food - asking how they’re doing it "For the Culture."Copyright 2026, Special Broadcasting Services Art Food & Wine Social Sciences

    Everybody eats, but who gets to define what good food is? Join food writer Jess Ho on a journey through their pantry to dissect how Australian palates came to be. Meet expert eaters, farmers, researchers and chefs fighting to have their voice recognised - through the ingredients they champion, the aisles they stock, the prices they charge and the people they hire. People who dare to think differently and are all curious about the same question: what is good taste anyway?
