Hungry Ghosts
Daniel Stables, Charlie Duckworth
21 episodes
9 months ago

Join travel writer Daniel Stables and professional boozehound Charlie Duckworth on a journey through the worlds of food, alcohol, and world culture, examining the strange things we do in our search for meaning through food and drink.


In Buddhist and Hindu lore, hungry ghosts are lost souls who stalk the earth seeking in vain to sate their swollen appetites. In the wheel of death and rebirth, the hungry ghosts occupy a lower realm than humans. We think that flatters us.


We are all hungry ghosts. These are the lengths that we go to.

The Milo High Club | History's Great Gluttons
Livers of pike, brains of pheasant and peacock, tongues of flamingoes and entrails of lampreys, anyone?  Just some of the delights on offer at some of Ancient Rome's finest feasts. The appetites of the emperors pale in comparison to some of history's other great gluttons, though: the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Charles Darwin's Glutton Club, and the strange and terrible tale of Tarrare – perhaps the closest thing in history to a real-life hungry ghost.
