Dietary Requirements is The Spinoff’s monthly podcast in which we eat, drink and talk about it too, with special thanks to Freedom Farms.

The Dietary Requirements crew had been anticipating the arrival of Duck Island's first non-Hamilton shop for months, so when the dreamy ice cream parlour finally opened its doors in Ponsonby, we thought what better way to celebrate than by recording a bloody podcast there.

Amidst sky-high towers of ice cream, traffic noise and bottles of wine hidden in brown paper bags, we discussed NZ's ridiculously high per-capita ice-cream consumption, learnt the origin story of the best thing to come out of Hamilton since Daniel Vettori, and were unexpectedly graced by the presence of Mr Eat Lit Food himself, Albert Cho.
