In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, Gastro Obscura fellow and writer Sam Lin-Sommer tells us the story of the fascist war on pasta and its surprisingly delicious legacy.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
