About this episode

Our Bang in Some Beans podcast series is back - and this time it's bigger than ever. Series two features a star-studded line-up, including longevity expert Dan Buettner, Happy Mondays frontman Bez, and actor Peter Egan, among others. They'll explore some intriguing questions, such as what do the world's longest-lived populations actually eat? And can better food improve behaviour in prisons? But there's plenty of fun too, from entrepreneurs using beans to unlock dessert-wine flavours and create beanless 'coffee', to the beetroot and bean hot dog winning over Premiership football fans.
