Gobs and Goblets

How popcorn took over the world.

Hannah Nichols-Chia + Maddie Carpenter Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode, we dive right into the history of the top-tier snack—popcorn. Popcorn has endured everything, from sacrificial rituals, to an ant carrying the weight of saving an entire civilization on the brink of extinction. 

But it doesn't end there…

Shocking to most, the expansion of the production of popcorn was aided by WW2 and the Great Depression.

The journey popped off, to say the least.
