  • LUPS3-Part1A: The Lime and Lemon Legacy

    LUPS3-Part1A: The Lime and Lemon Legacy
    Apr 7 2024

    In LUPS3 (Part1A), I explore the zesty world of lime and lemons through a journey of discovery never before imagined. I learnt much from my research and captured the essence of these precious citrus gems to bring you a story which has never been told. A chapter to my notebook, and a reminder of humanity’s resilience. From remedies to chocolate and everything else in between. It’s a legacy to be remembered, a tale of courage, and a story of innovation, progress and might !


    From tree branches to nectar, follow my story across the seasons and enter the world of limes and lemons to learn about their travels across land in times of war, and across our vast oceans with sailors, cats, and dogs to shine light on the beliefs that shaped literature as told by Shakespeare. And, find out which multinational pharmaceutical company played a role during the Age of Sail in the time of "The Scurvy" to shape the world we know today since every facet of global human existence has continuously been reshaped through various forms of technologies.


    From the British Empire, to the modern day Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago I explore Brazilian culture and end the saga on a poetic note.

  • LUPS2 - The Tomato Chronicles

    LUPS2 - The Tomato Chronicles
    Feb 29 2024
    In LUPS2, I explore the complex and fascinating world of tomatoes (our planet's love apples), and share the stories of this humble fruit that have shaped the world we know today. Imagine, some civilizations never even knew about tomatoes. Without tomatoes, which is considered to be the single most important horticultural crop on the global scale and also one of our world's most beloved fruits, our culinary landscape would be bland and uninspired. From pizza, to ketchup, and more I explore how tomatoes led to the Pomodoro Technique which has transcended cultural boundaries and reshaped how millions of people across the world approach tasks. Including, how the tomato became a source of livelihood for millions and inspired the "two pizza" rule used by the American technology multinational company, Amazon. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lightuppodcastseries/message

    LUPS1 - Grapes Galore
    Feb 15 2024
    In LUPS1, I explore the complex world of grapes, and share the stories of this humble fruit that have shaped the world we know today. Without grapes life would be a lot less flavourful, we'd lose a connection to our past, a source of livelihood for millions, a platform for political discourse, a rich tapestry of words and expressions, and a symbol of celebration and abundance. It's amazing how deeply ingrained grapes are in our linguistic landscape! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lightuppodcastseries/message
