The Sweet Spot

society, culture, health, fitness, nutrition · EN

Here’s something that’s too sweet to be true: sweetness was never the problem, sugar was. But somewhere along the way they got tangled together. So we went down the chocolate bunny hole to pull them apart and rediscover the sweet thread that runs through our lives. The Sweet Spot is a cultural investigation into what sweetness really means, not just as a taste, but as a human experience. We look at how sweetness moves through biology, language, emotion, history, spirituality, technology — and how it shapes the way we connect, cope, crave, and care.Hosted by Ron Gutman; raised in his grandma’s sweets shop, wired like a health nut, and now on a mission to prove those two things don’t have to cancel each other out. The show explores why sweetness has such a grip on us, and why it deserves a deeper look.
