About this listen

Frankenstein was never really about a monster. It was about misunderstanding.

In this episode, we pull Mary Shelley into the kitchen and ask what happens when taste, emotion, language, and identity collide.

From avocado toast in Miami to aguacate at the finca.

From papaya smoothies, to abuela's medicine.

From "Como Agua Para Chocolate" to neurodivergent sensory intelligence.

We explore how food carries memory, how stereotypes are born from misinterpretation, and how one sentence without context can ignite havoc.

Taste is a dialect.

Sensory data is a mother tongue.

And when language is misunderstood.

Monsters are made.

Welcome to Episode 25: Frankenstein's table.
