Who gets to decide what good and bad food is? Join food writer Jess Ho as they investigate foods like spam, native grains and bánh mì in this SBS podcast.

Have you ever had someone yuck your yum? Have you read outstanding reviews for a hot, new restaurant and found the food disappointing?

Hosted by food writer Jess Ho, Bad Taste is a six-part podcast series that will make you reconsider the perception of good taste.

Each episode analyses a food, traces back its history, and looks at its relevance today through the eyes of guests Nathan Lyons, Rosheen Kaul, Bruce Pascoe, Jacob Birch, Alum Choi, Miin Chan, Beź Zewdie, Ruth Gebreyesus, Thi Le and Vien Tran.

I co-created the series with Jess Ho and was the executive producer.
