This fall, there’s a new apple all around town. After 20 years of development, the Cosmic Crisp has landed.
In this episode, we’re bringing you a special collaboration with another podcast called The Sporkful. They’re a James Beard Award-winning show that uses food as a lens to talk about science, history, race, culture, and the ideal way to layer the components of a PB&J.
This episode is all about the Cosmic Crisp, how scientists developed it, and how it got that dazzling name.

Dan Charles is a food and agriculture reporter at NPR.
