The Odd Gratuitous Inquiry (TOGI) is a podcast where I’ll investigate unnecessary questions and speculate answers no one asked for.
In this inaugural episode (which you may listen to on Anchor, Spotify and other platforms), we dive into the origins of bak chang (also known as zongzi 粽子) and explore the diverse Chinese dialect variations and the diaspora who eat it. Is the Qu Yuan origin story truth or myth? Are there other cultures which have similar food?
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did researching and making it! If you’ve suggestions for topics, or wish to share your thoughts about the podcast, feel free to let me know! Do like and follow, thanks!
