Australia’s funnest food podcast
The Happy Meal of the podcast world. But back when you actually got a toy inside.
Want to feast on funny food facts and fables? Or slurp up strange and spicy stories from supermarkets and society?
Hi! We’re Em and Ben.
We make an unhinged food podcast called Ingredipedia which was recently shortlisted as one of Australia’s top arts & culture podcasts at the Australian Podcast Awards.
Every episode we each serve the most interesting stories about a specific ingredient (say, Biscoff or sardines) in a bid for your affection. You get to vote for who was the most interesting!
Emily Naismith
Emily has ten peanut butters on the go at any one time and loves a tin of fish (particularly anchovies). She works at frankie magazine and has written for Broadsheet and has a regular radio segment on ABC Melbourne as the ‘Food Detective’.
Ben Birchall
Ben likes food almost as much as he loves history (he supplies the podcast with a healthy dose of US Civil War facts). He’s hosted 3RRR’s breakfast show and written about condiments for Smith Journal as well as regularly chatting food on ABC radio.
Warning: podcast may contain traces of weirdness, unpopular opinions, and fun.
But here’s what other people think…
"A rare podcast that all of my family loves. Ingredipedia has found the sweet spot for all of us — funny, good banter, interesting food facts, and ideas for recipes we’d like to try. Keep up the fun times! "
Apple Podcasts January 2025
“This is such a good podcast – really evokes nostalgia and relatability to Australians and non-Australians alike. I genuinely learn so much from this little podcast!”
