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 Sin-Eaters | Wales
Hungry Ghosts

The Sin-Eaters | Wales
Welsh coal burns hotter. So hot, in fact, that the mistress of Welsh dandy Beau Nash was so distraught upon his leaving her that she elected to spend the rest of her life living in a hollowed-out tree. 

This kind of passion is characteristic of the world of Welsh food and drink, the stranger corners of which we explore in this week's episode. Follow the link in our bio to learn about the Welsh origins of Guinness, the sin-eaters of the Welsh Marches, and the Mari Lwyd (pictured), which in an extremely crowded field may be the creepiest of British folk traditions. 

 Iechyd Da!
