About this listen

Most people like spice and flavor in their food, but are they willing to kill for it? Saffron is by far the most expensive spice in the world, and although it's fallen in and out of favor in the West throughout history, people have always gone to great lengths to get their hands on it.

This week, as we're visiting the historic city of Milan, Italy, find out how much of our modern world we owe to some little flower parts!
