b"Sourdough starters! Ancient yeasts! Why we need/knead dough! And why you don't need to buy a starter to start. Polymath, particle physicist, inventor of the Xbox, and truly delightful fermentation nerd Seamus Blackley joins to chat about his kitchen adventures resurrecting dormant yeasts from 4,000 Egyptian baking vessels, plus wild yeasts, the infuriating myth of \\u201cyeast scarcity,\\u201d the beauty of everyday objects, the debt we owe our ancestors, the joy of getting to know your dough plus tons of tips for newbie and experienced bakers. The first half is all about the history of baking and yeasts and some hot Egyptian gossip, then we roll up our sleeves in the second half for how-tos. Forward this episode to anyone who bakes, who wants to bake, who lovingly feeds their jar of yeasts, who is intimidated by it or who just needs a lesson on how to slow down and enjoy the dormancy period we\\u2019re in right now. This episode\\u2019s got it all. Including some truly shameless bread puns.\\xa0\\n\\nFollow Seamus @SeamusBlackley and here\\u2019s one recipe tutorial megathread: https://twitter.com/SeamusBlackley/status/1135328857660305408\\xa0\\n\\nFollow: Egyptologist Dr. Serena Love, microbiologist Richard Bowman @RBowman1234\\xa0\\n\\nand the coiner of \\u201cGastroegyptology,\\u201d Kieran Donnachie\\xa0\\n\\nA donation went to Boys and Girls Clubs of America: https://www.bgca.org\\n\\nSponsor links: Sakara.com/ologies; Kiwico.com/ologies\\n\\nMore links at alieward.com/ologies/gastroegyptology\\n\\nTranscripts & bleeped episodes at: alieward.com/ologies-extras\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month: www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, pins, totes and STIIIICKERS!\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/ologies or instagram.com/ologies\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/AlieWard or instagram.com/AlieWard\\n\\nSound editing by Jarrett Sleeper of MindJam Media & Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies"
