When Portuguese traders arrived on Indiaâs western shores in the early 1500s, they brought more than religion, colonial ambition, and a lust for spice - they also carried with them a tiny, crimson fruit that would set Asia ablaze.
In part two of their deep dive into the scorching history of chili peppers, John and Patrick trace the pepperâs path across India, China, and Korea, where it would come to define cuisines, ignite revolutions, and even ward off evil spirits.
From its humble beginnings in Goan gardens to the fiery markets of Guntur, from Sichuanâs numbing heat to the fermented jars of kimchi on Seoulâs rooftops, this episode follows the trail of Capsicum as it infiltrates empires and reshapes entire culinary traditions. Along the way, weâll meet Buddhist monks, Portuguese conquerors, imperial skeptics, Communist revolutionaries, and, of course, Wilbur Scovilleâthe mild-mannered American pharmacist who gave us a way to measure the madness.
Join John and Patrick for the sizzling second act of this global sagaâa tale of heat, history, and the humble pepper that conquered the world.

For millennia, chili peppers have been at the heart of the Americas - long before Columbus set sail, before the Aztecs built their empire, and before the Incas wove them into myth. Originating in what is now Peru and Bolivia, these fiery pods were among the first crops cultivated by humans, shaping the diets, medicine, and rituals of entire civilizations.
From the wild âtolerated weedsâ of early foragers to the carefully cultivated varieties prized by the Maya and Aztecs, chiles were far more than a seasoning - they were power, tribute, and even punishment. In Incan lore, Brother Chile Pepper was woven into creation myths, while Aztec markets overflowed with dozens of varieties, traded and taxed like gold. When Columbus finally arrived in the Caribbean, he wasnât discovering chiles - he was stumbling upon a centuries-old tradition that had already conquered the New World.
Join John and Patrick as they trace the ancient roots of the chile pepper, exploring its sacred role in pre-Columbian societies, its legendary place in Aztec and Incan mythology, and the fateful moment it first crossed the Atlantic. But this is just the beginning - because once Columbus carried chiles back to Spain, their journey was only getting started.

The story of the olive is one of resilience, empire, and cultural transformation. From its first human interactions in Africa over 100,000 years ago to its role in the economies of the great Mediterranean civilizations, the olive tree has been a silent witness to the rise and fall of historyâs greatest powers. In the Eastern Mediterranean, early farmers began cultivating olives nearly 7,000 years ago, setting the stage for what would become an essential commodity of the ancient world.
Join John and Patrick as they trace the oliveâs journey from its first cultivation in the Levant to its sacred status in ancient Greece, where it adorned Olympic champions and fueled temple lamps. Discover how the Romans transformed olive oil into a vast commercial empire, using it for food, lighting, medicine, and even as a tax currency. Learn how olive groves survived the decline of Rome, weathered the Middle Ages, and ultimately laid the foundation for the Mediterraneanâs enduring love affair with this golden elixir.
From trade routes to warfare, from myth to medicine, this is the epic tale of the oliveâa story that spans continents and centuries, shaping the world in ways we still feel today.

In the wake of war, division, and rapid industrialization, South Koreaâs countryside faced a crisis. By the late 1960s, rural poverty was deepening, farmers were abandoning their fields for the cities, and the gap between urban and rural life had never been wider. But then, a dramatic shift began.
Join John and Patrick as they explore the origins and impact of the Saemaul Undong Movement - the sweeping rural development program launched by President Park Chung-Hee in the 1970s. But to understand why this movement was necessary, they first take a journey through Koreaâs long and complex agricultural history, from dynastic land ownership and Japanese colonial rule to postwar land reforms and the struggle for modernization.
How did centuries of social hierarchy shape Koreaâs farmland? Why did colonial policies leave so many farmers dispossessed? And what led Parkâs government to turn its focus back to the countryside? Tune in for a deep dive into one of the most ambitious agricultural revolutions of the 20th century.
