Great podcast but the affectation...
I watched a Nicola Twilley ted talk (maybe an off-brand TED-style talk) and she pronounced a word with standard American accent and then corrected herself to a vaguely Home Counties sounding accent. She’s clearly been in the US a long time. I’m wondering how old she was when she moved her. Her Englishness is a huge part of her identity and character on the show but it doesn’t come off as entirely genuine given the changing strength of accent, the complete absence at times, and then the focus on it. It mostly just sounds like a pedantic American. It’s a major distraction and makes me want to not listen to what is in every other way a good podcast.

Fantastic podcast! As a lover of food, cook and nutrition student I love everything about it: how well the topics are researched, how inquisitive the hosts are (and their very sexy voices and thirst for knowing more).

Hosts Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley make Gastropod an entertaining and accessible podcast - full of science, humour and whimsy. I would love for this to be a weekly show, but with the amount of research and production values, I can understand why this is only fortnightly.
