About this listen

When the air still feels like July but the store shelves smell like October, you know it’s happened: the pumpkin spice has returned. But why does that scent and that flavor have such a grip on us?

In this episode, host Aaron Crawford unpacks how old-world spices met new-world pumpkins, how marketers bottled coziness, and why “pumpkin spice” has become the smell of autumn coziness.
