Hello, you've downloaded a podcast of the food program.

Welcome to our world, from cooking to culture, politics to pleasure.

We hope you enjoy it.

Imagine a meal in the most extreme of environments. There's no gravity, no oxygen, just a deadly void, a place where it can be hotter than the Sahara and colder than Antarctica and in space no one can hear you

no space dust where we're heading and that's to meet the people behind astronaut food, past, present and future.

And perhaps surprisingly, some of it's rather good.
