It’s the joy of underwater discoveries, and the thrill of being on the lam with a real-life Robin Hood. It’s stories that will change your perspective and broaden your horizons. But most of all, it’s fun!
The passion of the podcast
Kaleidoscope’s first series “OBSESSIONS: Wild Chocolate” – Available today – is hosted by award-winning food journalist Rowan Jacobsen. This weekly podcast is all about the world’s rarest chocolate, Cru Sauvage, which features otherworldly tasting notes — place a square on your tongue and it yields “a chocolate fog” with waves of flavor, from leather to pineapple. Centuries ago, when Cortes opened Montezuma’s vault, he found over a million of these purest beans. But since then, the heavenly cacao has become a ghost, untraceable. That is, until Luisa Abram got a tip – deep in the Brazilian Amazon there might be a tiny grove worth the treasure hunt. The catch: she’d have to race there to beat other chocolate hunters, adventure into the heart of the Amazon and risk her life to save the land she loves. New episodes post every Wednesday. Listen now.
