In this episode, we try to figure out how “the proof is in the pudding” has changed its meaning over time. From testing a meal to testing a theory, and what that says about how language (and people) evolve! Naturally, this leads to talk of unbearable heat, spontaneous poetry for strangers, starting a dessert business, and a few potentially murderous puddings. Expect sticky metaphors, warm weather delirium, and some surprisingly deep thoughts about evidence, trust, and taking things at face value.
